Visitors don’t (or shouldn’t) come to the Keys for solely a beach holiday. That said, they are a few gems. One of those is the beach at the Moorings in Islamorada. The Moorings, or Moorings Village and Spa is a high end luxury property. Visitors essentially stay in beach front houses not hotel rooms. And […]

Parasailing in the Upper Florida Keys
I consider the Florida Keys an American paradise. Yes, I do. And there are multiple ways to appreciate its beauty. One of my favorite ways is from the sky. Yes, take to the sky in a parasail and view majesty of the water and the islands (or keys) from above. Key Largo Hilton and Caribbean […]
A Beach with History, the Petroglyphs of Las Labradas
Las Labradas translates to “the carvings.” And the beach just north of Mazatlan is filled with carvings on its coastal rocks. Travelers don’t come here to swim or soak in the sun, but rather to take a look at the numerous and mysterious petroglyphs. Known to locals for hundreds of years, the engraved rocks have […]
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.

As a New Yorker, I am not supposed to be a fan of New Jersey. But truth be told, I learned to surf at the Jersey Shore and I am a fan. My first time paddling past the break was in Spring Lake, a beach where I spent seven straight summers. I had some good […]
Postcard – The Beijing Commute
When I traveled to Beijing, China for work more than a few years back, my commute to the office traveled straight through Tiananmen Square. Every morning I passed the Forbidden City. It was one of my favorite moments of the day and one morning I took my camera. But what may have been more impressive then […]
Sunset Sunday – A Stop for a Holiday In(n) Mazatlan
Next week I’ll be starting another holiday Mazatlan. It will be a special holiday too. I am heading to Mazatlan for Carnival. I’ve heard the celebration is the third largest in the Americas (Rio, New Orleans are 1,2), now I’ll finally know first hand. Therefore as part of my preparation I reviewed my images from […]
