It was a three hour excursion and probably just enough time to explore the town. So I grabbed my camera and my hat, headed to the beach and boarded the boat. From the sands of the Las Majahuitas Resort, a place with a wonderful sunset, we pushed off to sea. Next stop Yelapa. The ride […]

A Winter Tour of the Summer Palace in Beijing, China
by Craig Zabransky on September 6, 2011 in Destination, Photo
In Beijing during the heat of summer, the Chinese Emperors often left the Forbidden City and traveled to the Summer Palace (or Gardens of Nurtured Harmony – or 颐和园 in simplified Chinese) to cool off. On my winter travel to China, I needed no such cooling off. The -13 degrees didn’t need to be converted to any scale, summer […]
Images of the Buddha in Thailand
by Craig Zabransky on August 12, 2011 in Destination, Photo
Buddha, perhaps more of a philosopher than a founder of a religion, is ever present in Thailand. The “awakened one’s” way of life still influences the people and culture of South East Asia and everywhere you travel in the “land of the smiles” Buddha seems to be there with you. A statue. A temple (Wat). […]

Obtaining a ticket for World Cup match of USA vs. England, was not just about patriotism or believing in the outcome, it was also about having something else I highly value – having fun.

After an early afternoon surfing session, I drove back towards town. I rented a car in Mexico and decided to take the road to the often obscure San Blas for a few days. A road trip designed for sun, surf, and cervezas. But like on any trip I discovered much more. I didn’t know San […]

by Craig Zabransky on October 1, 2010 in Destination, Photo
Last year I traveled to Bogotá, Colombia. A short trip. I only spent four nights in the city. Yet in four nights I learned so much about the place and its people. I learned of its beauty. I learned of its nightlife. I learned I needed to return to the city and to the country. and […]
Photo: El Angel de la Independencia

The view from the hotel suite where I spent many of my nights when I called Mexico City home faced the “Paseo de la Reforma,” the main artery of the city. And although the traffic caused headaches and at time heartaches to the me along with the other 20+ million that call DF home, in […]
