Taking Advantage of Bright Sun in Belfast Before the Rain Sets In

September 21, 2015 by DaveLeave a Comment

Upon landing in Belfast, Northern Ireland (or as some might say, 'Nord Iron') I was pleasantly surprised to see some sun peeking through the clouds. Coming from bright sunny days in Spain this past week with warm temperatures I had braced myself for brisk cloudy days and bone chilling nights. I felt welcomed on the bus ride into town; a gentleman facing me in another seat kept smiling my way - talking to the lady he was with and nodding in my … [Read more...]

A Place to Unwind: The Ranch at Rock Creek, Montana

October 25, 2014 by DaveLeave a Comment

September 11, 2013 by DaveLeave a Comment

TELLURIDE, Colo. (September 10, 2013) – In the early 1900s, 35 establishments existed for thirsty drinkers to belly up to the bar in Telluride. Despite the front pages of the local newspapers, The Daily Journal and San Miguel Examiner reporting the town would “abide strictly by the law no matter what the loss”, you could get a drink just about anywhere, including the courthouse.

March 7, 2013 by Allison Tibaldi1 Comment

The Woodstock Festival took place in New York State’s Catskill Mountains in 1969. Whether you lived through it or were born decades later, Woodstock is the stuff of legends, three days of peace, love and music.
