Sunset Sunday – Santa Teresa-Mal Pais, Costa Rica

Often I review some of my old photos and journals when reminded of an adventure. And this Thanksgiving weekend, thankful for all my travels, I decided to look back to the adventure that changed the course of my future.

Sunset Sunday – Walking the Brooklyn Bridge, New York

Sunset Sunday – Walking the Brooklyn Bridge, New York

Cheering for Everyone, the Joy of the NYC Marathon

This year I will miss an annual tradition. This weekend I will not be there to support the thousands who lace up and run the NYC marathon from the sidelines. But even from a distance (I am in Mexico) I will take a moment on Sunday to cheer. To mark the occasion, I decided to […]

Sunset Sunday – Edinburgh, Scotland

Sunset Sunday – Edinburgh, Scotland

For Halloween I started to ponder destinations I considered haunted. Destinations when darkness descends on the streets, stories of spirits fill our imagination. Places you visit and leave with the belief ghosts are not just fantasy, but perhaps reality. In a city of much literary fame, from Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde to the present […]
