Now Flagstaff is a cool little town. We hung out on Route 66 and enjoyed the cool mountain climate. We hit up the Meteor Crater and the Grand Canyon. Louis was a big fan.

We made the best of it. Had some good — if expensive — food and drink. Caught a couple shows on the strip. Spent a day lounging in the Golden Nugget pool downtown.

The gambling is prohibitively expensive almost everywhere we looked ☹️ Oh well.

We did go out on Lake Mead and see the Hoover Dam 👍

We throughly enjoyed the serene beauty of Estoril and Cascais… so did the pups. However the time to move along came again so now we’ve headed north to spend some time in Porto and beyond.

Like, we’re gaming multiple, distinct federal regulatory agencies on different continents AND relying on timely overnight planet-wide shipments and GUESS WHAT? THAT APPARENTLY JUST SHITS THE BED SOMETIMES.

But that skips the fuckery and speed bumps we had to deal with. DID YOU KNOW? Traveling internationally with your pups is actually a GIANT PAIN IN THE ASS? Fucking dog cops.

We’re in an airport now… still in New York State but trying to fuck off across the ocean ASAP.

But that was just a few days, then shit got serious. One night in Queens, NY and then full on downtown Manhattan for most of a week. Hanging out in Times Square, saw Hamilton on Broadway, ate dinner in the Empire State Building. Did all the stuff. Our dogs fucking hated it but I’m glad we did it.

But for real Delaware has absolutely no business being that enjoyable. Sit the fuck down sir. How can you be so smol and so wonderful at the same time.

So like who fucking knew? Delaware, really? We went there to do business stuffs and thought it would be boring AF but we FUCKING LOVED IT! Rehoboth Beach in Delaware is just an extremely pleasant place. Cute AF, walkable, bustling farmers markets, great food. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
