Africa’s Upside Down Tree, the Skyline of a Namibian Village

The Thirsty Elephant Herd along the Chobe

The Thirsty Elephant Herd along the Chobe

After witnessing the excitement of a single elephant on the edge of the river taking a drink, the boat headed a bit deeper into Chobe National Park. Then as we drifted, a breeding herd came for a sip. By the end of my African adventure, my ‘elephant in the wild’ counter may have topped 100 across […]

Oysters with a pearl of wisdom in Mazatlan, Mexico

Oysters with a pearl of wisdom in Mazatlan, Mexico

by on July 26, 2010 in Culture Thru Cuisine, Destination, Mexico Travel

Oysters. For some, the ultimate delicacy, for others just another mollusk.

Sunset Sunday – the Brilliance of Baja, Pescadero, Mexico

by on July 18, 2010 in Mexico Travel, Sunset Sunday

I arrived early enough to order a Margarita at the bar. After a self guided tour of Todo Santos I stopped back to Hotel California to relax, and eventually call for a taxi. Inside Jack Johnson tunes took over for the Eagles soundtrack and I noticed the lunchtime crowd cleared, a positive indication that the […]
