Sunset Sunday-The Mazatlán Carnaval Parade Halftime Sunset

Sunset Sunday-The Mazatlán Carnaval Parade Halftime Sunset

Sunday’s spectacular Carnaval Parade in Mazatlán even provided the 400,000 who lined the malecón with a vibrant half time show – the sunset.

A Little Beach Time in Yelapa, Mexico

A Little Beach Time in Yelapa, Mexico

South of Puerto Vallarta and only accessible by boat, Yelapa can be a little off the main tourist trail. Yet, the beach town popular as a boating excursion, does fill up midday with visitors.

Sunset Sunday – A Snowy Return to Beaver Lake, PA

I spend plenty of time in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania. My family lives there and it makes for a great escape from the city.  I visit each and every season and honestly enjoy them all.
