Sunset Sunday – View at Sheraton Pretoria, South Africa

Sunset Sunday – View at Sheraton Pretoria, South Africa

I spent two evenings at the Sheraton Pretoria in South Africa. The first evening I walked the grounds of the Union Buildings, a place where people listened to Nelson Mandela’s inauguration speech in 1994. Walking about I took an image of my first sunset in Pretoria. Still today, it’s one of my favorites. And then […]

Where to Stay in Sossusvlei Namibia? – Sossusvlei Lodge

Where to Stay in Sossusvlei Namibia? – Sossusvlei Lodge

Namibia is big and spacious. Vast. The landscape stretches for miles (kilometers) often with nothing but nature. Visitors discover there are not too many stops between Windhoek, the capital city, and Sossusvlei besides a stop in Solitaire. Yet visitors also discover the journey is well worth it. And even more so if you stay at […]

Sunset Sunday – Sunset at Houston Airport (IAH)

Sunset Sunday – Sunset at Houston Airport (IAH)

Returning from Mazatlan, Mexico I connected through Houston. The stop reminded me to put the John Huston directed Under the Volcano on my Netflix list. I did The film Takes place in 1938 Cuernavaca on the Day of the Dead, a holiday I had just observed in Mexico. But the main character’s day was a bit […]

The International Gourmet Food Festival just concluded in Puerto Vallarta. Last year I attended the multi (chef) star studded event and tasted specialities not just from the chefs who call Puerto Vallarta home, but from others who visit and take over kitchens and menus at some of the region’s best restaurants. It’s widely discussed and […]

Sunset Sunday – Sunset in Windhoek, Namibia

I landed in Windhoek, Namibia, but my luggage didn’t. I’d travel to the city without it and trust it would be on the next flight. Thankfully, a few daily flights exist to the capital of Namibia from South Africa, but the airport was far from busy on the day I arrived. On the long bus […]

After the day spent hiking the insanely incredible red sand dunes of Sossusvlei, I returned to the lodge. Next up – a special sunset adventure. The Sossusvlei Lodge offered an afternoon adventure tour designed to catch a glimpse of the setting sun. I signed up. And after the prior day’s Namibian sunset in Sossusvlei, I was […]

Sunset Sunday – Zona Dorada, Mazatlán (en Español )

Sunset Sunday – Zona Dorada, Mazatlán (en Español )

Llegamos a Diego’s en la Zona Dorada dos horas antes de puesta del sol. Comimos camarones, tomamos las cervezas y placticamos de México. Era una buena tarde. Entonces como el sol casi tocó el horizonte, caminé en la playa abajo al Océano Pacifico. Yo miré el cielo, el océano, y las personas en el mar. Muy […]

Sunset Sunday – Volcano Hike of Pacaya in Guatemala

Sunset Sunday – Volcano Hike of Pacaya in Guatemala

I debated the morning or afternoon. I needed to make a decision on what time to hike Pacaya. I eventually selected the afternoon hike for a chance to see the sunset. It often influences my choices. But at the time when the sun started its descent we were already on our descent too. I still […]
