I arrived mid-afternoon to check in and asked, “What time does the sun set?” Puzzled, the staff of the Villa Blanca Hotel responded with a surprised look. Si (yes) they understood my English. It seemed as if everyone in Costa Rica did (although for the record, I spoke much Spanish). The surprised look was because […]

Is Visiting Lakeshore Beaches in Autumn Really Visiting the Beach? – A Trip to Glimmerglass State Park

by on February 6, 2014 in Beach

Growing up, going to the beach basically meant heading to the ocean. Saltwater and waves. It also meant warm weather – summer.

Are There Beaches in Singapore? A Visit to Siloso Beach in Sentosa

Are There Beaches in Singapore? A Visit to Siloso Beach in Sentosa

by on January 30, 2014 in Beach

After a visit to Sentosa I would have bet the translation of the word into English was “sensation.”  Singapore’s amusement resort, created for all ages, provides stimulation at every turn. Ironically it translates to “peace and harmony,” but I guess a certain tranquility exists in all places where the land meets the sea. The original […]

Sunset Sunday – The New York State Thruway Rest Area Sunset

by on January 26, 2014 in Sunset Sunday

When driving great distances, although be it infrequently, I often make a stop around sunset. No surprise, I take in the sunset wherever I can, especially when traveling. Yes, this includes rest stops on a thruway, and isn’t that what we do when we watch a sunset? Don’t we all pause, rest and recharge? I […]
