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 […]

Sunset Sunday – View at Sheraton Pretoria, South Africa

by on December 11, 2011 in Sunset Sunday

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

by on December 7, 2011 in Stay Luxurious, Where to Stay?

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.

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.

The International Gourmet Food Festival just concluded in Puerto Vallarta.

It’s widely discussed and […]
