Beautiful St. George Bermuda

April 29, 2013 by DaveLeave a Comment

I was wandering the harbor front of the quaint town of St. George when I stumbled upon a screaming lady being dragged through the streets by two guys. She had a crazy look in her eyes and her captors where screaming out angry accusations, "gossiper, nag etc". I wondered if I had the guts to intervene on behalf of this poor lady. But looking around I realized I would have to resort to violence to put an end to their crazy actions and seeing … [Read more...]

Lets do it! Enjoying Bermuda

April 25, 2013 by Dave2 Comments

We descended quickly through the clouds breaking out of the sky to views of gorgeous aquamarine waters and darker beds of corral below us. This is Bermuda - a tiny 21 mile long tiny island in the general shape of a fish hook, situated all by itself in the North Atlantic. With a geographical location of 32 degrees and being among the gulf stream the island benefits from rather mild temperatures in the winter - and warm moderate temperatures in the … [Read more...]

Three Favorite things to do in London

April 19, 2013 by Dave1 Comment

In recent years, I have been fortunate to fly into London several times each year. Often the stop is brief, connecting to other parts of Europe but sometimes I take a day or two to explore the city and or to make a guest appearance on the studio of my friend Jim Liebeke who presents entertaining travel webisodes in the form of the Dave & Jim show. I often stay with friends but this is an International city with a huge variety of lodging. It is … [Read more...]

Spotlight on artwork worth pursuing from four selective artists

March 28, 2013 by Dave6 Comments

An extremely wealthy man from one of the nation's prominent family's once simply told me "collect good art". His reasoning was good: art always goes up in value, often quite substantially especially after the artist dies. Find an artist you are simply drawn to who creates beautiful and inspiration pieces. Chances are, others already appreciate their works. If it is an investment, it might as well be an enjoyable one. One of the most … [Read more...]

Exploring Coimbra Portugal

March 24, 2013 by DaveLeave a Comment

Today we spent the day driving around Northern Portugal - with the highlight being a stop in Coimbra. This quaint hillside town is situtated above a large river - with the March chill clearly evident as stiff breezes blew us across the bridge into the old town. We raced our little mini Fiat up the narrow cobblestone streets, dodging pedestrians, parked as well as moving cars and soon found ourselves at Portugal's oldest university - the … [Read more...]

Coastal Fun in Portugal

March 20, 2013 by Dave6 Comments

We spent the day driving along the coastline from Lisbon up to just south of Coimbra. The first stop was at Obidos, a small ancient walled city of about 3,000 people. As luck would have it, this was one of the weekends for the Chocolate Festival and cars surrounded the outskirts of the city with thousands descending into the old town. We parked along with many others on the side of the road and some old guy started yelling at us and everyone else … [Read more...]
