Spoiler alert!I am not even going to try to avoid spoilers. So be forewarned. This walkthrough is for the iPad version of the game which has quite a few differences from the desktop version. It will only be a walkthrough of my game-play. Stardew Valley is very flexible, so as you play the game your…

Suddenly I Feel Alive Again
I make no bones about it folks. I have been really out of sorts for the past 153 days, since I got stopped in Texas on my way to Mexico. The Airbnbs I have lived in during that time have been nice, and in different times I am sure I would have enjoyed myself immensely….
In Montrose: this is a pretty neighborhood
Today I decided I had better just stop playing Stardew Valley and get back to blogging. I was surprised to see that I had never finished this post. So I am going to get it done now, though it should have been finished a month ago. I will expand it to include the days since…
Down on the (Buffalo) Bayou
When I was going to university in Galveston back in the 70s, I remember hearing about Houston’s Buffalo Bayou. What I remember the most was that bodies were always being found there. More than a few like José Campos Torres, were said to have been put there by the Houston cops. An old college chum…
Adrift in Houston, With Little to Do
All my options and observations in this post are warped by the fact that the world is in the mist of the Covid19 pandemic. If and when this is all over, I will have to revisit my thoughts and see if they still hold true. When I booked my Airbnb in Texas, I was just…
How I ended up adrift in Texas: A Nomad Interrupted continued …
In the days leading up to leaving Peru, there was a lot of rain, and I found it much more interesting to play Stardew Valley on my iPad, than to go out and do things. After 140 days in Peru, I was rather excited to be changing countries again. I have determined that more than…
Nomad Interrupted
So, you might have noticed that I haven’t been posting lately. Well, don’t worry Covid19 hasn’t gotten me, but it has tossed a big monkey wrench into my plans. When last we met, I had just returned from a trip to the Galápagos Islands. As it turned out the rains, which had delayed my return…
A Trip Off the Budget Path
A friend treated me to a trip to the Galápagos Islands. That was really kind of her, since I really can’t afford to do things like that. That being said, I will write this post as if I where the one paying for everything. I don’t want to give the reader an unrealistic idea of…
What Happens When an Introvert Pretends to be an Extrovert?
Let’s face it I really would be happy as a clam in my apartment with my nose buried in my computer all the time. It’s always hard for me to convince myself to go out and play tourist. Of course, once I do, I always enjoy it. I try to make sure that my apartments…
Ceviche! Viva Peru
I haven’t eaten out very much since I have been here. I find it hard to motivate myself to dine out when I will be dining alone. Soon a friend will be coming from the States, so I am using saving money for her visit as an excuse not to go out. But one day…
