We are Wanderers... Some people live their lives deliberately going from place to place. We too spend our work days doing that. But it seems that the best moments in life often happen by chance, unexpected and unplanned.

In this blog, we will try to capture the wonder we have felt when we happened upon the scenes shared here. Beauty and interest are truly where you find them. "Vagando" is the Spanish word for wandering and beautifully captures the feeling of freedom and ease we experience in our mini adventures. We hope you enjoy viewing these images as much as we have enjoyed finding them.

Playing Tourists in Our Home Town

Not only do we live in one of the most beautiful areas in the world, but we also call home one of the most interesting communities.  We frequently steal away for an enjoyable couple of hours to wander around our unique version of Main Street -- wonderful restaurants, quaint shops, art on the corner displays, and dancing.  
Every Thursday during the summer, the streets are filled with locals and visitors sampling the produce, music and art on display at Farmer's Market.  On a quiet Saturday, you can enjoy the streets almost as your own, interrupted occasionally by an impromptu concert or the happy conversations of fellow wanderers on their way to a delicious meal in one of the amazing local restaurants.  I think its time to take a drive down town...
