At times walking the streets of Playa del Carmen one can start to think they are vacationing in Italy. Yes, Italy. Surprised? Well, have you been to Playa lately? Italians top the list of foreign ownership and that translates into many Italian restaurants. Pizza appears on nearly every block with pasta specials on nearly every menu across […]

Coming to my Senses in the Riviera Maya

Coming to my Senses in the Riviera Maya

[…]

In a country where a $50,000,000,000,000 dollar bill might get you $1 USD from a tourist (only for a souvenir, the currency is worthless) and unemployment reaching 90% in some areas, the future might seem bleak. In fact most tourists don’t seem to travel anywhere outside the Victoria Falls area along the Mighty Zambezi for […]

Sunset Sunday – The Mighty Zambezi, Zimbabwe-Zambia

Sunset Sunday – The Mighty Zambezi, Zimbabwe-Zambia

by on August 29, 2010 in Destination, Sunset Sunday

In description, few people or places receive the word Mighty with regularity. When describing rivers I only knew one before my trip to Africa, the mighty Mississippi.
