A Return to ‘Hill Street Blues’ in Amsterdam

by on July 16, 2010 in Destination, Reflection

A new adventure awaits on every trip. But that doesn’t mean you never revisit the places you visited on prior travels. Of course, your time might not be the same. New memories await. And even if the place hasn’t changed – I learned you have. A recent trip to Amsterdam, my third, included both a […]

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)

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.

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 […]
