The Balinese Legong Dance from Ubud, Bali

People travel to be educated, others to be entertained, and some to be enlightened. And regardless of which of the three you gravitate towards, on a trip to Bali, plan to visit Ubud. And plan to see the Balinese Legong dance. Of the dozen forms, the glancing eyes and unique hand movements of ladies who […]

Africa’s Upside Down Tree, the Skyline of a Namibian Village

Africa’s Upside Down Tree, the Skyline of a Namibian Village

Before we entered the fishing village, our guide spoke to us. Just on the outskirts and before our interaction with the locals we stopped to listen. He explained life in this part of the world, both the promising and the problems. He gave us a set of dos and dont’s when touring the huts made […]

The Thirsty Elephant Herd along the Chobe

The Thirsty Elephant Herd along the Chobe

After witnessing the excitement of a single elephant on the edge of the river taking a drink, the boat headed a bit deeper into Chobe National Park. Then as we drifted, a breeding herd came for a sip. By the end of my African adventure, my ‘elephant in the wild’ counter may have topped 100 across […]

Oysters with a pearl of wisdom in Mazatlan, Mexico

Oysters. For some, the ultimate delicacy, for others just another mollusk. And whether you believe it’s a myth or a fact that about its aphrodisiac powers upon digestion, I think we all can agree, the fresher the better.  And nothing is fresher than pulled directly from ocean after you place that order. That is exactly […]

Sunset Sunday – The Green Flash, Laguna Beach, California

Sunset Sunday – The Green Flash, Laguna Beach, California

The Green Flash. Sunset aficionados know about it. Some don’t believe it exists, some quest for it like a crusade for the holy grail, and others, the fortunate few, can claim witness to its majesty. I’ll admit I remained semi-skeptical until that day.  The day when walking along beach and watching the sun dip into […]

Lunar Landing; The Giant Leap’s Anniversary
