<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: #444444;">Recently Ryan and I were able to take an amazing week-long vacation to Spain and France. The trip wasn't something we planned on. We've tried to travel as much and as cheaply as possible but it can be difficult when flying out of a small airport in the Midwest so when we saw a crazy flight deal from Omaha to Barcelona on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/thepointsguy/" target="_blank">The Points Guy</a> we jumped on it.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: #444444;">We flew into Spain and met our friends Katie and Tyler for the weekend. I was able to spend some time in Barcelona when I studied abroad in 2012 and so had Katie but neither Ryan or Tyler had been to Spain. It was fun to revisit some of the places with fresh eyes and to explore the winding streets with no plans or expectations. </span></div>

Highly recommend her <a href="https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/1851161" target="_blank">cheap and well located Airbnb</a> in the Gothic Quarter.</span></div>

There we all were giggling our way through the city and drinking cheap wine in the sand. It was awesome.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: #444444;">So began our next adventure to France. It's no secret I love the process of planning trips. For this trip, we mostly winged it.

<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: #444444;">Our next stop was Aix en Provence where we would spend two nights. It was much more bustling than the laid back fisherman town of Sete. We loved getting lost in the narrow streets and visiting all the shops with local Provincial goods.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: #444444;"> After a two hour bus ride we went to a local market and stocked up on bread, cheese and meats for a beach picnic. We ended up taking a <a href="http://www.lavisitedescalanques.com/" target="_blank">long boat tour into the Calanques</a> (best translation is narrow coves) and had time for a <a href="http://www.domainedubagnol.fr/" target="_blank">private tasting and visit at a local winery</a>. In the end we got to spend a full day instead of a half, saved money on our tour and had a memorable adventure of our own.</span></div>

The goats weren’t native to the island and threatened the wildlife that was. The U.S. Navy planned to eliminate the population by shooting them from a helicopter, but an animal rights group stepped in at the last minute. Today, nearly one third of the world’s population of the goats reside in Gretna, Nebraska at Willow Valley Farms. The farm is owned and operated by Carroll and Wegener who are dedicated to conserving what is left of the species.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: #666666;">On our first full day we drove to Aspen to catch a bus to Maroon Bells. We took a windy scenic road and passed Independence Pass and the Continental Divide. We ran out of time for a hike so we opted to grab a drink in Carbondale and some food to cook at our campsite in Bogan Flats south of Redstone. Our campsite was steps from the river and the rush of the water lulled us to sleep.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: #666666;">In the morning we explored Redstone and dropped the pup off so we could do a few things on our list that didn't involve dogs. Our first stop was the serene Iron Mountain Hot Springs overlooking the Colorado River in Glenwood Springs. The natural hot spring filled the developed pools with 100+ degree water while calming music played over us. We also were able to have our first shower of the weekend which was probably necessary. </span></div>

I was glad we packed tons of granola bars and after a trip to the grocery store we made most of our own food for the week.</span></span></div>

Our first night was spent in Hafnarfjörður where we rested up before an 8.5 mile trail run through the mountains. We were treated with hot homemade soup and bread following the race and given free access to the local geothermal pool.</span></span></div>

It has been hosted by Omaha since 1950. There are no high level professional sports teams in Nebraska so this and Huskers get an avid following. People come in town from all over the country to cheer for the top eight baseball teams in the U.S. and some people travel here each year just to get in on the action. </span></span></span><br />

I'm pretty good at psyching myself out of doing stuff like this. I make excuses in my head like "I don't have time" or "it's a stupid idea." So, this time I decided that I would just go for it. Since I was wandering around the stadium I needed a lightweight setup to take with me. I used one strobe direct or with an umbrella. There are a couple with natural light. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit;">I had a lot of fun meeting people and I liked the freedom of being able to wander. I was surprised by how may people came from outside Omaha to work the series. Everyone had a different story about why they were there from a teen raising money for her soccer team to a musician on tour trying to get to know the city.</span></div>

Ty lost his twin bother, and one of his biggest supporters, Trey in a car accident in 2013 and has him on his mind as the state track meet approaches. Ty pictures Trey at the end of the finish line each time he runs. He whispers "this one's for you Trey,'' before the gun goes off. When Ty crossed the finish line winning first place in the 800 and 1600 meter run he pointed to the sky.</span></span><br />

<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white;">About a month ago I was able to take my first trip out to see western Nebraska for a quick assignment about an <a href="http://www.omaha.com/news/metro/new-saltwater-disposal-well-plan-in-nebraska-panhandle-becomes-a/article_ac667ca7-09d3-54cd-a827-79b54b18ce25.html?mode=jqm" target="_blank">out of service oil shaft</a> that may be used to dispose of salt water byproduct from fracking in Mitchell, Neb.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white;">I drove the 500 miles there on March 17, shot the oil well at dusk and drove back the next day. It was an exhausting but beautiful drive, once I was several hours in I'll admit, and I was excited to see some new places.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white;">I visited a few of the "predictable" sites including Front Street, a recreated western old town, Carhenge, an imitation of Stonehenge built of cars, and Chimney Rock, a prominent geological monument for the pioneers as they explored the west, but I also checked out some small towns off the beaten path. Western Nebraska can feel like an entirely different state because of the landscape and some of the smaller towns truly feel frozen in time.</span></span><br />

Bounds was recently elected to oversee all of the public higher education institutions in Nebraska (UNL, UNO, Kearney etc.) We visited his hometown, a small agricultural high school, a school district on the Gulf Coast where he was a principal and superintendent and of course the Mississippi capitol, Jackson. We had a fun trip, saw some interesting places and ate some excellent unhealthy food. Scroll to the end for the video. Enjoy!</span></span><br />
