For those who don’t know the Florida Keys, they might picture idyllic beaches for leisure, but actually the Florida Keys are much more popular for boating, fishing, sailing, kayaking, snorkeling, scuba, and even jet-skiing on the water.

Sunset Sunday – A Tulum Sunrise for the New Era in the Mayan World

Sunset Sunday – Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

by on December 9, 2012 in Sunset Sunday

I often wonder why major resorts build on beaches without  a view of a sunset.  It would be one of my “requirements.” However, after my first walk on the soft sands of the beaches at the Grand Palladium Resort in Punta Cana I was reminded of another important requirement – a beautiful beach location.

On a trip to Thailand, I spent some time in Bangkok. And one day I left the city to visit  the old Thai capital of Ayutthaya. Before I walked through the ruins and took dozens of images of the Buddha, I snapped this image of a large reclining Buddha… stay adventurous, Craig
