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 Cliff Divers of Mazatlán

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 […]

This year I will miss an annual tradition. This weekend I will not be there to support the thousands who lace up and run the NYC marathon from the sidelines. But even from a distance (I am in Mexico) I will take a moment on Sunday to cheer. To mark the occasion, I decided to […]

For Halloween I started to ponder destinations I considered haunted. Destinations when darkness descends on the streets, stories of spirits fill our imagination. Places you visit and leave with the belief ghosts are not just fantasy, but perhaps reality. In a city of much literary fame, from Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde to the present […]

Fall Foliage – Lake Wallenpaupack, PA

Sometimes you have a moment. A connection not easily described by logic or reason. You really just feel alive, in tune with everything.  One.  Whole. I tend to find these majestic moments while watching the sunset. In those moments, I take the time to appreciate the day, to listen. Such moments occur for each of […]

Sunset Sunday – Upstate New York

Sunset Sunday – Upstate New York

by on October 24, 2010 in Sunset Sunday

A family reunion took me to upstate New York this summer. To be honest, I held little appreciation for my state outside of what I knew. Growing up, New York consisted of Long Island and the city. And when people mentioned New York – well that was New York City.  Ignorance might be bliss at times, […]
