My Highlights of a Visit to Cap Haitien, Haiti

June 1, 2022 by Dave2 Comments

Nonstop flights leave from Miami to Cap Haitien daily (only about an hour and 45 minutes) and the small airport is located only about 20 minutes from town. Arriving in the heat of the day it was a short walk to the entrance to the airport where musicians were jamming some local flavors. A quick breeze through customs (helped by the fact I was the first one off the plane), no luggage to pickup and I was soon outside of the airport where my … [Read more...]

The Rock of Guatapé or otherwise known as Peñol Stone is a 220 meter (approximately 750 foot) tall granite monolith located about a two hour drive from the center of Medellin in Colombia. The closest city is Guatape, about a 10-15 minute drive away. First climbed in 1954, the 'rock' is still owned by the descendants of that original climber.

La Coyota, Cabos San Lucas – May 2022

May 1, 2022 by DaveLeave a Comment

Located in a residential neighborhood about a 15 minute walk from the downtown area or a short drive. Easy to miss as not a lot of signage in front and a very small dedicated pull in parking spot for several vehicles. Definitely off the well-trodden tourist path of the downtown and marina area. This space is much more then a home décor store; it is a shopping mecca for one of a kind Mexican handicrafts sourced from around the country. Features … [Read more...]

Searching for the Soul of Cartagena, Colombia

May 1, 2022 by Dave4 Comments

Darkness has fallen in Cartagena and the buzzing sounds of the motor bikes with their bright lights passing constantly are rattling my senses. I am now wandering the busy streets searching for the soul of this city. I'm pretty sure I've found it inside the city walls of old Cartagena. I soon spot paintings of people smoking cigars hanging on the walls inside a building; the interior immediately appeals to me from the curb so I enter the dimly lit … [Read more...]
