The Adventures 

(and MisAdventures)

of Elliott and Mary

This is the story of Mary, Elliott, and Letitia.

Together we are going on a grand adventure and we thought you might care to look over our shoulders as we go.

The general scheme of things is to travel from Slidell, La  up the East Coast and to summer on the Cheasapeake Bay. I suspect the next phase will be to come back... Fortunately, we don't have to decide 'back to' where for a while.

I have a "We Are Here" page with the current map and plan. It is suppose to get updated more often than the narriative. I might get around to current pictures here too.
 
 

From time to time we will publish issues of our "Adventures (and) Misadventures"
