Road Food

Nearly everybody who knows Sabine and me also knows that food means a lot to us. We like to try different kinds of food, we like to cook food and we probably also talk more about food than most people.

Some have asked us, when you were on the road trip – what did you eat? Could you cook in the van?

Chili Peppers and Clams

After moving to Denmark we have got some food problems!! Yes food problems. It seems almost impossible to get fresh Anaheim (or New Mexico) Chili and Poblano Chili – two of our favorite “vegetables” ;-) .. and canned clams, hard clams, for making Clam Chowder (San Francisco style naturally).

Clams we probably can get fresh (have not tried yet) or maybe in Germany, where the itailan (yes they use them too) food sources are more readily avalible.

Merry Christmas

To everyone who should happen to read my blog, also the ones who read it kind of late, Marry Christmas.

The last year has been very interesting for us and a lot of things are still unsetteled, but things are starting to form itself for us. We are looking forward to help shape a new year.

Happy New year to every one.

The End

113 days (one in a tent and ten in a hotel) – 14,000 miles / 22.400 km – 860 gallons / 3270L of gas – 29 gallons / 110 L of coffee – one break down – 14 National Parks – 3974 pictures (…trigger happy…)

As you can guess we are now back in San Ramon and the trip has reached its end.

Saguaro National Park

Saguaro National Park is split into a large, but a bit inaccessible, east park and a smaller, more accessible west park. We decided to go to the west and found a really nice county park – complete with prickly pear cacti and saguaro – just outside the national park where we could camp.

In White Sands

Thursday we left Santa Fe, but we did eat our linch at the square before leaving. The local news paper took a picture of Felix .. we couldn’t get the newspaper down here in White Sands, bit we found it online.

We arrived in White Sands Thursday evening. Here it is nice and warm (Santa Fe was actually a bit cold, with frost at night). We have started counting the days to the end of our trip, but still enjoys it in full.
