Sunset Sunday – Caribbean Club in Key Largo, Florida

Key Largo, essentially put on the map by the 1948 classic staring Bogart and Bacall, was once known as Rock Harbor. The community decided to capitalize on the popularity of the movie and insisted that their post office be called Key Largo. On June 1, 1952 the name changed. Much has changed since then, and […]

Three West Africa Adventure Films

Africa was once labeled the “dark continent,” because so much was unknown, or rather unknown to us. I am not sure it is any more unknown or remote when compared with destinations in Asia or South America, but I can say that much of the region is unknown to me (and maybe you too?) My […]

The Floating Flower Market of Amsterdam

A stroll across the canals or even a walking tour of Amsterdam offers visitors (and locals) a chance to experience many markets. Some are Saturday only, others every day, and some date back hundreds of years. The Floating Flower Market, the only one of it’s kind in the world, is open daily. Bloemenmarkt, it’s Dutch […]

Sunset Sunday – Tauranga, North Island, New Zealand

To mark three months since the earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand and two months since the highly successful Blog4NZ effort I decided have Sunset Sunday return to New Zealand once again. My first one, in March, was Lake Waikaremoana, New Zealand during the Blog for New Zealand effort. And again, just as in the first […]

Sunset Sunday – Beech Mountain, Pocono Mountains, PA

As summer approaches, the days are getting longer and for many of us living up north look forward to the later sunset. This often translates to more, rest, more leisure, and more time for an afternoon cocktail.

One place I enjoy many of these longer, warmer, days are the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania.

Greenmarket Square in Cape Town

One of the oldest squares in Cape Town, Greenmarket Square can be found just a few blocks off Long Street in the center of the city.  On one end of the street, I stayed at the Westin on the other end I found the perfect Royale with Cheese burger. And if you head to Cape Town […]

Sunset Sunday – Miami Baptist Hospital

Last Mother’s Day Sunset Sunday I published prose a daughter wrote for her mother. A tribute. This year, again, I want to share a special moment. This time it’s one of mine. On March 4th I didn’t sleep a wink. Actually, I didn’t sleep again till the afternoon of March 5th – thirty-six hours plus. […]
