Why I love Mexico: Rutas de Mexico

by on July 5, 2010 in Destination, Events, Films, Market, Mexico Travel

For those that know me, know I love Mexico.  The romance, the music, the adventure, the history, the culture, the cuisine, the cervezas… Ah, the list can continue and continue.  Essentially it can go on for an entire blog post; there are many more than seven reasons. But I know Mexico, do you? I lived […]

Sunset Sunday – Benton, PA (Happy 4th of July)

Sunset Sunday – Benton, PA (Happy 4th of July)

by on July 4, 2010 in Sunset Sunday

Sometimes the search for ‘Americana’ needs to take people out of the city. And although I love the 4th of July celebrations and fire works display of New York City, to find a unique slice of America, that apple pie making corner, I believe (at times) one must venture to the countryside. Thankfully from New […]

Sunset Sunday – The Chobe River, Botswana

by on June 27, 2010 in Sunset Sunday

On a day when I traveled through four countries. A flight from South Africa to Zambia, than a bus through Zambia, Zimbabwe and into Botswana I eventually arrived at Chobe Safari Lodge. After the welcome drink and a scented, cool, wet towel to freshen up, I decided to walk to the river’s edge to see my […]

Sunset Sunday – Pretoria, South Africa

Sunset Sunday – Pretoria, South Africa

by on June 20, 2010 in Sunset Sunday

When you visit Pretoria, South Africa, (or the renamed Tshwane, South Africa) I recommend a walk through the grounds and gardens that surround the Union Buildings. The location serves as the republic’s executive capital, but achieved its global fame in May of 1994. As I walked the grounds, part of me just admired the beauty of […]

A New USA USA USA chant needed for World Cup Matches?

A New USA USA USA chant needed for World Cup Matches?

by on June 18, 2010 in Destination

After attending USA vs England in Rustenburg, South Africa I became aware once again that my national team’s chant of ” USA…USA…USA” needs a friend. In a nation that celebrates variety and creativity, I believe us Americans can sing more than just our “go to USA…” at the stadium.  In fact, many other fans from […]

Sunset Sunday – Puerto Escondido

Sunset Sunday – Puerto Escondido

by on June 13, 2010 in Mexico Travel, Sunset Sunday

Simply known as Puerto. The sleepy fishing village in Oaxaca, Mexico also claims home to the Mexican Pipeline. A perfect pacific Mexican escape. I enjoyeda long weekend on the coastal beach town of “Puerto” when I called Mexico City my home.  And although I prefer the Mazatlan native “el Pacifico,” I can hardly disagree that the […]

South Africa Continues to Heal Through Sports

South Africa Continues to Heal Through Sports

by on June 8, 2010 in Destination, Reflection

“This is the first time I ever saw so many whites in Soweto,” a smiling store owner said to the local news. I agree, this was news. Orlando Stadium, located in Soweto, the all black suburb of Johannesburg and the epicenter of the student uprising of 1976 recently hosted an all South African Super 14 Rugby […]
