Sunset Sunday – Sunset in Melnik, Bulgaria

Sunset Sunday – Sunset in Melnik, Bulgaria

I opened my Lonely Planet Eastern Europe Guidebook and searched for a day trip outside of Sofia. I noticed Melnik, the cultural, wine making city south of the capital and close to the Greece border. Besides the wine, I also noticed a hike to a monastery, the Rohzen Monastery. In Bulgaria the monasteries are one […]

Sunset Sunday – View at Sheraton Pretoria, South Africa

I spent two evenings at the Sheraton Pretoria in South Africa. The first evening I walked the grounds of the Union Buildings, a place where people listened to Nelson Mandela’s inauguration speech in 1994. Walking about I took an image of my first sunset in Pretoria. Still today, it’s one of my favorites. And then […]

The International Gourmet Food Festival just concluded in Puerto Vallarta. Last year I attended the multi (chef) star studded event and tasted specialities not just from the chefs who call Puerto Vallarta home, but from others who visit and take over kitchens and menus at some of the region’s best restaurants.

Sunset Sunday – Sunset in Windhoek, Namibia

Sunset Sunday – Sunset in Windhoek, Namibia

I landed in Windhoek, Namibia, but my luggage didn’t. I’d travel to the city without it and trust it would be on the next flight. Thankfully, a few daily flights exist to the capital of Namibia from South Africa, but the airport was far from busy on the day I arrived. On the long bus […]

After the day spent hiking the insanely incredible red sand dunes of Sossusvlei, I returned to the lodge. Next up – a special sunset adventure. The Sossusvlei Lodge offered an afternoon adventure tour designed to catch a glimpse of the setting sun. I signed up. And after the prior day’s Namibian sunset in Sossusvlei, I was […]
