I grabbed a few bottles of the local beer Gallo, and a bag of crisps (potato chips) and headed back to my room. I decided to take in the sunset on the hotel rooftop. I selected the hotel when I learned about it’s rooftop and the stairs (no elevator) to the third floor were not a […]

Sunset Sunday – Sunset in Tikal, Guatemala
by Craig Zabransky on February 19, 2012 in Sunset Sunday
Walking through the Mayan ruins in the afternoon, after my morning tour, I needed to decide where to settle in to watch a sunset. At first I returned to the gran plaza and then debated a return to the lost world (Mundo Perdido) all in the quest to find the perfect sunset inside the Mayan […]
Sunset Sunday – Winter Sunset in Lake Wallenpaupack, PA
by Craig Zabransky on February 12, 2012 in Sunset Sunday
I spend time in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania. The spring bloom, the summer storms, the autumn colors and the winter snows, provide a chance to experience nature all year. With Manhattan as my home, the less than three hour bus ride makes for a perfect escape any season. In the colds of January, the […]
Sunset Sunday – Sunset in Hell’s Kitchen, NYC
by Craig Zabransky on January 29, 2012 in Sunset Sunday
The sun sets in the west. In New York City that means it sets in the dense suburbs of New Jersey. Couple that with tall buildings, crowded streets, and the frantic end of day commute and the city doesn’t offer an idyllic setting to capture a sunset. But as you learned through the sunsets stories […]

Window or aisle seat? Before the days of self check-in and kiosks, the agent might ask you, “Sir, would you like a window or aisle seat?” My answer than was the same as it is today – the window. I always ask for the window. Always. Why? I need to see the horizon. I love to gaze […]
Sunset Sunday – A Sunset in Mazatlán with Smiley
by Craig Zabransky on January 8, 2012 in Mexico Travel, Sunset Sunday
Two of us boarded the bus for the afternoon tour with our driver. Yet just before we exited the hotel gate, the other passenger changed his mind and exited the vehicle for an afternoon poolside. He left me on a personal tour with a jolly man nicknamed “Smiley.” I decided to switch from conversing in […]

The sun officially set on the second year on the Sunset Sunday and now the series embarks on its third year in 2012. Again the year promises new places, new moments, and new memories aimed to inspire people, you, to pause and appreciate the sunset. And as it continues to grow, I trust more and […]
Sunset Sunday – Sunset in Melnik, Bulgaria
by Craig Zabransky on December 18, 2011 in Sunset Sunday
I opened my Lonely Planet Eastern Europe Guidebook and searched for a day trip outside of Sofia. I noticed Melnik, the cultural, wine making city south of the capital and close to the Greece border. Besides the wine, I also noticed a hike to a monastery, the Rohzen Monastery. In Bulgaria the monasteries are one […]
