Sunset Sunday – An email from Boulder, Colorado

On a Wednesday night I received an email from an ex-consulting colleague titled “Sunset in Boulder.” She wrote, “I saw the website you put together a couple of weeks ago and have been thinking about you and the philosophy. So even though it is Wednesday, I wanted to send you some pics of a sunset in […]

Dinner comes with a show at Gus Gus

In the heart of the golden zone, Gus Gus serves more then just fine Mexican food. The restaurant provides the fun, festive atmosphere many come to Mexico for – the fiesta. From the live music rock band, to the dance floor filled with tequila fueled tourists and the fire show dance troupes work for peso […]

Alagua in Mazatlán’s Golden Zone

Just up from the golden sand beaches of Mazatlán’s zona dorada (golden zone)  beach goers can sit down and enjoy the food and cheerful ambiance of Alagua. Ceviche, oysters, scallops, shrimp and the local huachinango fish fill the menu. It’s seafood, seafood, seafood. And it’s delicious. On my visit, our large table ordered most everything off […]

La Puntilla on the Mazatlán Waterfront

Just across from the sands of Stone Island lunch is served. Outside on an open air deck, La Puntilla patrons enjoy not just the views of the passing cruise ships, ferries to La Paz, and cargo ships, but good quality seafood. One Saturday afternoon as part of a table of eight, I noticed big parties […]

Lunch at Grandma Tina’s

In between a tequila tasting (or rather a blue agave tasting since it is not officially from “Tequila”) at the award winning Los Osuna and an impressive zip-line canopy tour we stopped for lunch. We were 30 minutes outside the city of Mazatlan and away from the coast. We were deep in the state of […]

Pedro & Lola’s on the Square

In the heart of the revitalized Old Town of Mazatlán, Mexico visitors find Plaza Machado or Machado Square. It’s place lined with cafes and restaurants. A plaza where both locals and tourists come to enjoy the live music and eat. Pedro and Lola’s, a corner cafe on the square, actually holds the distinction of being […]

Sunset Sunday – Punta del Este, Uruguay

Volunteering to assist at the “meet plan go” event held in New York City last September I met many people looking to take a career break. I really enjoyed providing them with needed encouragement. Then when networking myself,  I met other career breakers who actually encouraged me. Marie was part of the panel of career […]

An Afternoon at Nest Key

An Afternoon at Nest Key

When you think of the National Park Service, you rarely think of a beach. Yellow Stone, Yosemite, and the Grand Canyon come to mind. Yet, I grew up visiting a National Seashore – Sailor´s Haven, Fire Island. It is part of the National Park Service, but not a ‘Park.’ Semantics? Maybe, but I did find […]
