Sunset Sunday – The Black Sands of Bali

by on December 5, 2010 in Sunset Sunday

The Black Sand Sunset in Bali Bali. The destination seems to evoke the traveler’s image of a paradise. Yes, and with good reason.

First Stop – Punta Laguna, Riviera Maya

First Stop – Punta Laguna, Riviera Maya

The first scheduled stop on my day’s tour, Punta Laguna, did not excite me. I’ll admit it. My initial thought – skip it. I looked ahead. I thought, let’s head straight to the ancient ruins of Coba and spend more time understanding the mystique and magic of the Mayans.

Often I review some of my old photos and journals when reminded of an adventure.

Sunset Sunday – Charleston, South Carolina

by on November 14, 2010 in Sunset Sunday

The charm of Charleston magnifies when you walk the city. Whether you follow its revolutionary roots, its Civil War Story, or just meander to enjoy its historic homes at some point you will find yourself down along the battery. And I recommend you find yourself there at sunset. On the waterfront, you walk among monuments […]

The van pulled over and we climbed out of the vehicle into a sea of friendly merchants. With tourists stopping by all day, the vendors set up and greet you with ‘buen precio and muy barato” (good prices and very cheap). Only after you navigate through the wood carvings, silver souvenirs, and the other assorted […]

On New York City Marathon Sunday, you can usually find me in Central Park when the sun sets, but I start that day by waking up early to watch the race (the professionals), enjoy a long leisurely brunch and then head to experience one New York City’s best experiences, the joy of cheering for all […]
