Marg’s Draw Trailhead | Sedona, AZ

December 29, 2018 by E. Casa de Calvo

Beautiful hiking trail, roughly 4 miles. I visited in the summer, and really underestimated the heat. The dry heat sneaks up on you! It was still an amazing hike. I highly recommend it for beginners like me.

South Texas Sunday | Riviera, TX

July 8, 2012 by E. Casa de Calvo

These photos were taken while on a drive to the country side. If you happen to live in these parts, you’ll know that everywhere is technically the “country side.” The Our Lady of Consolation church is located south of Kingsville, TX on Country Road 628. This church has a fascinating history; established around 1908, served as a school, convent, and place of worship for early settlers. If you are hungry after church, you can keep going east on Country Road […]

National Ranching Heritage Center (Exterior) | Lubbock, TX

May 20, 2012 by E. Casa de Calvo

The center covers a lot of ground; over twenty acres. You can take a mini journey thorough the ranching history of the area by touring restored structures (homes, barns, schoolhouses, etc.). The tour begins with a dirt floor structure, and ends with a modern day structure. It is a walk through time. Some structures are even open for exploration.
