Sunset Sunday-Lake Wallenpaupack Scenic Boat Tour

by on August 25, 2013 in Sunset Sunday

Over the last few years I have spent numerous hours boating on Lake Wallenpaupack but oddly, I never watched a sunset from the lake itself. The Wallenpaupack Scenic Boat tour was not a sunset tour, but boarding the pontoon boat at 7pm (in late August) set the stage for a sunset on the water. The […]

Survival Training in Central Park–The Scottish Way with Bear Grylls

Sarabeth’s, a restaurant on Central Park South in New York, is a perfect place for a Manhattan weekday breakfast; oh the fresh-baked muffins, scones and more… but it’s not the place I’d expect to meet instructors from the Bear Grylls Survival Academy.  After a few cups of coffee and a savory meal, I realized that […]

Yes, Buffalo surprised me during few days first as a volunteer for the New York Special Olympics and […]

  The New York Special Olympics games are the sixth-largest Special Olympics gathering in the world. I’ve been a supporter for many years, but this year I just couldn’t write the check and call that the extent of my donation. No, I decided to volunteer. I took the pilgrimage from the hustling, bustling city of […]

Sunset Sunday-View from the Four Seasons Miami

by on August 4, 2013 in Sunset Sunday

After settling into my room at the Four Seasons Hotel Miami located in Brickell, I headed directly to the pool where I spent a wonderful afternoon of leisure. I don’t often think of Brickell as a destination in Miami, but I know the Four Seasons is a destination wherever they are located. And actually, I’d […]

Sunset Sunday-A Mile High Return from Mexico

by on July 28, 2013 in Mexico Travel, Sunset Sunday

On my  flight back from my recent trip to Mexico I looked out from my window seat and experienced a mile high moment; a mile high sunset. And I reflected on the moment. I stared and smiled for a while and then I eventually grabbed my iPhone to snap an image. My recent Mexican adventure […]

Postcard-Mexico’s Golden Treasure

Mexico offers many treasures to its visitors. The list is endless. But one of its true golden treasures remains accessible to all- the corn tortilla. On a morning walk through the “pueblo magico” (magic town) Creel in Chihuahua I stumbled upon a Maseca; a place where corn tortillas are made early in the morning (usually […]

Sunset Sunday-The Canalside Waterfront in Buffalo, New York

by on July 7, 2013 in Sunset Sunday

I arrived to the Liberty Hound just before sunset. The restaurant adjacent to the Buffalo & Erie County Naval & Military Park, the largest inland naval park in the U.S, in the canalside district provided both outdoor and indoor seating for dinner. I chose indoors (available), placed my order, and then quickly headed outdoors with […]
