Weekend Plans

Apple picking weekend. Every Indigenous Peoples' Day weekend my family (I have a huge family) gets together to pick apples and press them for apple cider. We've been doing it since I was in high school. Really fun tradition.

Just make regular cider or do you make hard cider too?

I've been trying to make hard cider for the past two years... the first year it vinegar-ed on me and last year it tasted like paint thinner. Depending on how many apples we get this year I'm going to try again.

Sounds like fun. How far of a drive is that?

2.5 hours one way. One benefit, Brazilian Grill for dinner... Yum!

Speaking of Brazilian Grill, we should do that as group during SpiceWorld next year. It's right across the street.
But now that I think about it..would that exclude Scott and Dominica?

Likely, we've looked at that place and I don't believe that they have anything for us.

If I had about three hours I could be in Brazil for a grill!

Did your time suddenly go somewhere

Ha ha. Just checked the map, definitely three hours to Brasil. We are exactly halfway from Houston to Brasil.

Is that a flight or a car?

No roads connecting North and South America. Research the Darian bio gap.

Holy crap... who would have thought that there is a 100 mile stretch of no road between central and south America...

"The first all-land auto crossing was in 1985–87 by Loren Upton and Patty Mercier in a CJ-5 Jeep, taking 741 days to travel 125 miles (201 km). "
That's a nasty stretch of land there.

Pretty crazy, huh? You have to have a special visa from the Panamanian government to even approach the zone, let alone enter it. It's a biodiversity gap to stop diseases from spreading between the continents.

That makes sense.. I am assuming more for livestock than humans?
