mr had this van long before we met. He traded it in for a Chevy Nova after taking his very young children on a trip to CA at 55mph through the Mojave without air conditioning.
Fry bread is a staple on the reservation and in the surrounding four corners area. Same dough as a sopapilla, but fried in plate-sized rounds. Very sturdy.
With wine! Lovely. Here’s the Dutch version. pannekoeken It’s a “pancake.” We shared one with apple and another with ham. And fries. Benelux fries are legend.
In Montreal I ordered poutine with sautéed peppers added. Meh… The poutine we ate in Vancouver was standard fries, savory gravy, cheese curds. It’s comfort food.
The Jacobite Train scenic railway is the one we’re watching daily. They had to cancel the trains because the door locks on these historic coaches aren’t up to modern safety standards. But were recently granted a waiver. Like last week. So, they’re gradually adding back trains and cars tentatively. The government could decide to shut it down again. We’re #11 on a waiting list.
eSIMs. I’ll look into that. I don’t remember what we did for phone service last time we went to Europe. We will have to download detailed navigation, though. A few places in the Scottish moors and in rural Ireland may not have cell coverage for using the gps navigation. But it’s also something to ask the people who live there about, which I’m okay doing.
We are set for flights and accommodation in Scotland and Ireland in the fall. We still need to look into insurance, a license to drive and car rental, cell phone use and a GPS, and purchasing admissions early where necessary.
