Sunset Sunday – Sossusvlei Lodge, Namibia

Sunset Sunday – Sossusvlei Lodge, Namibia

Before the tour took the journey from Sossusvlei to Swakopmund across the desert and barren landscape of Namibia, we stayed at the Sossusvlei Lodge. Just a few kilometers from the entrance to the famous and impressive sand dunes of Sossusvlei the group settled in for the first of two nights. The looming tour of the […]

Sunset Sunday – The Green Flash, Laguna Beach, California

Sunset Sunday – The Green Flash, Laguna Beach, California

The Green Flash. Sunset aficionados know about it. Some don’t believe it exists, some quest for it like a crusade for the holy grail, and others, the fortunate few, can claim witness to its majesty. I’ll admit I remained semi-skeptical until that day.  The day when walking along beach and watching the sun dip into […]

Sunset Sunday – the Brilliance of Baja, Pescadero, Mexico

Sunset Sunday – the Brilliance of Baja, Pescadero, Mexico

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 […]

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

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 […]

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

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 […]

Sunset Sunday – Puerto Escondido

Sunset Sunday – Puerto Escondido

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 […]
