Sunset Sunday – View at Sheraton Pretoria, South Africa

by on December 11, 2011 in Sunset Sunday

I spent two evenings at the Sheraton Pretoria in South Africa. The first evening I walked the grounds of the Union Buildings, a place where people listened to Nelson Mandela’s inauguration speech in 1994. Walking about I took an image of my first sunset in Pretoria. Still today, it’s one of my favorites. And then […]

Where to Stay in Sossusvlei Namibia? – Sossusvlei Lodge

by on December 7, 2011 in Stay Luxurious, Where to Stay?

Namibia is big and spacious. Vast. The landscape stretches for miles (kilometers) often with nothing but nature. Visitors discover there are not too many stops between Windhoek, the capital city, and Sossusvlei besides a stop in Solitaire. Yet visitors also discover the journey is well worth it. And even more so if you stay at […]

by on December 4, 2011 in Sunset Sunday

Returning from Mazatlan, Mexico I connected through Houston. The stop reminded me to put the John Huston directed Under the Volcano on my Netflix list. I did The film Takes place in 1938 Cuernavaca on the Day of the Dead, a holiday I had just observed in Mexico. But the main character’s day was a bit […]

On each and every new trip to a city, certain adventures always rise to the top of my to-do list. One is a walk and after I strolled the streets of Oaxaca on Sunday, I decided to make sure I performed another “must” the following morning. I headed straight to the main market, Mercado Benito Juarez, […]

by on November 27, 2011 in Mexico Travel, Sunset Sunday

The International Gourmet Food Festival just concluded in Puerto Vallarta. Last year I attended the multi (chef) star studded event and tasted specialities not just from the chefs who call Puerto Vallarta home, but from others who visit and take over kitchens and menus at some of the region’s best restaurants. It’s widely discussed and […]

Sunset Sunday – Sunset in Windhoek, Namibia

by on November 20, 2011 in Sunset Sunday

I landed in Windhoek, Namibia, but my luggage didn’t. I’d travel to the city without it and trust it would be on the next flight. Thankfully, a few daily flights exist to the capital of Namibia from South Africa, but the airport was far from busy on the day I arrived. On the long bus […]
