I reviewed the scheduled itinerary for Mazatlán and immediately looked at see where I’d be for sunset each night. I noticed most nights the sunset occurred over dinner (makes sense) but I also knew one of the restaurants. The dinner at el Shrimp Bucket would be located right on the malecón. I circled that evening. […]

Sunset Sunday – Sailing the Black Sea of Bulgaria
by Craig Zabransky on July 15, 2012 in Sunset Sunday
When I first arrived to touch the waters of the Black Sea it was just that black, pitch black in fact. But the time read close to midnight when we reached the beach just south of Sozopol in Bulgaria to set up tent. It was no surprise. The next morning I woke to the sounds […]
Sunset Sunday – L’Ametlla de Mar, Catalonia Spain
by Craig Zabransky on July 8, 2012 in Sunset Sunday
During the last days of my European backpack adventure I traveled across Spain. And many of those days and nights I spent in the sleepy shore town of L’Ametlla de Mar. Largely off the international tourist map, L’Ametlla de Mar is roughly two hours south of Barcelona on the train and is essentially the “go-to” […]
Sunset Sunday – Sunset on the Streets of Quebec City
by Craig Zabransky on July 1, 2012 in Sunset Sunday
A summertime stroll through the streets of Quebec City can confuse any visitor. French is spoken, cafes line the cobblestone streets, the food is delicious, and none of it is cheap. Yes, you may think you are actually walking the streets of Europe. Most of my visits to the province of Quebec were to explore […]
Sunset Sunday – A Sunset Sail in the Greek Isles
by Craig Zabransky on June 24, 2012 in Sunset Sunday
When people think of sailing the Greek Isles, most dream of whitewashed buildings, an arid island landscape, and the clear crystal blue waters of the Aegean Sea. It is a paradise most travelers yearn to visit. I know I do. But my sail through the Greek Islands was on the western side of the country. […]
Sunset Sunday – Sunset at Keystone Resort, Colorado
by Craig Zabransky on June 17, 2012 in Sunset Sunday
The horizon seemed to brighten and I knew the moment arrived. I put down my drink, grabbed my camera and started to walk up a snowless ski trail to the top of the mountain. I left the Taste of Vail event located at 11,444 feet behind to climb up even further. And it took time […]
Sunset Sunday – Sunset in Newport, Rhode Island
by Craig Zabransky on June 10, 2012 in Guest Post, Sunset Sunday
Newport, Rhode Island is synonymous with sailing. Luckily for the local sailors, the harbor where most boats are docked or moored is the scene of some of the best sunsets in town. Most superstitious boaters believe the adage: “Red sky at night, sailors delight. Red sky at dawn, sailors take warn.” Take a gander at […]
Sunset Sunday – Sunset in the Parque Central of Quetzaltenango (Xela)
by Craig Zabransky on June 3, 2012 in Sunset Sunday
Quetzaltenango or more commonly referred to by its simplified indigenous name Xela, is the second largest city in Guatemala. Most tourists don’t come here and even fewer take notice of the sunset. But the evening hours in Parque Central are reason enough to visit the city on a trip through Guatemala. One night I sat […]
