Mai Thai Wandering's Favorite Photos of 2023

Posted by on
On this New Year's Eve, we take a look back at some favorite images that we took and/or posted in the blog this year.

Last summer's road trip, from Tennessee to Montreal with stops in Ottawa (Canada), New York City, Cape Cod (Massachusetts), and Ogunquit (Maine), was the inspiration for several blog posts. We took countless photos, culled lots and posted a select few in the blog. These are our 2023 favorites.

 In Ottawa, the fascinating Rideau Canal mesmerized us for hours (24 hours in Ottawa, Canada).
This photo is quintessential Cape Cod scenery on a hot summer day, posted in Falling for New England: Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
It was fun watching the wooden Perkins Cove Drawbridge in action at Ogunquit (Falling for New England: York and Ogunquit, Maine)
We jostled with tourists to take this picture of Brooklyn Bridge, posted in A walk down memory lane in New York City
In May, we visited Louisville, Kentucky for the first time. The gigantic baseball bat, at 120 feet long, awaits baseball fans at the Slugger Museum.
In June, our guest blogger discovered hiking in the Canadian Rockies, and took some amazing photos of Spray Lake atop Little Lougheed. 
We never tire of the beautiful view of the Tennessee River at  Lake Nickajack. This particular day, we anchored out with some friends and enjoyed Korean BBQ ribs aboard.
We love exploring our adopted city of Chattanooga. With a new inflatable kayak, we are able to go further to explore other areas of the Tennessee River. Two favorite images were posted in Falling for the South: Chattanooga, TN.
Tennessee River Gorge at Raccoon Mountain
A friend did a guest post of the incredible foliage in her new hometown of Eau Claire (Fall foliage in Eau Claire, WI).
December found us in Portugal, where we savored lots of delicious egg custard tarts (Foods of Portugal)
We close 2023 with an image of Mai Thai, anchored at St Augustine, Florida one winter. The city was listed as one of The South's Best Places to Retire.

Despite the ups and downs and the challenges of 2023, we are thankful for all the beauty in this world. We wish you a peaceful, healthy and happy new year!

    Thank you for taking the time to read and comment. We enjoyed cruising with you and Joy. That photo of Chandelle we took in Gibson Island (Maryland) at dawn is forever etched in our memories.

    It's always lovely to see the whole year in review in one place, to appreciate again your remarkable travels. I'm counting down to our Portuguese adventures, those custard tarts are calling my name too!
    Hope 2024 is equally as lovely for you!
