“Praha again, Praha again,” my cousin’s husband told me when we said good-bye and discussed when and where we might meet again. I needed to return to the Czech Republic. I promised I would.

Sucia – Pan Asian Cuisine in Flores, Guatemala

by on February 23, 2012 in Culture Thru Cuisine

Sunset Sunday – Winter Sunset in Lake Wallenpaupack, PA

by on February 12, 2012 in Sunset Sunday

I spend time in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania. The spring bloom, the summer storms, the autumn colors and the winter snows, provide a chance to experience nature all year. With Manhattan as my home, the less than three hour bus ride makes for a perfect escape any season. In the colds of January, the […]
