Far from the Madding Crowd – Our Half Day Jaunt in San Francisco
Where do you go with half a day to kill in San Francisco? We decided to eschew some of the more touristy hotspots and headed to Potrero Hills, the Mission District and SoMa to see the real San Francisco. We drove into the city on a Sunday morning when parking is free, arriving at around 10am. At that time in the morning, we were still lucky enough to find parking, although it was filling up fast. Our first stop: 18th Street, Potrero Hills. … [Read more...]
The art of Damasquinado in Toledo Spain
Damasquinado (Toledo Craft) can be found in many shops in Toledo Spain. While in Toledo, we were “pulled” (seduced) into a workshop where the ancient craft of Damascene is practised.

Of course the umbrellas were in our room but my husband volunteered (aka- was forced) to … [Read more...]

Hilton Resorts World Bimini: Limited Lunch Choices, No Limits on Taste
Whenever traveling, I make a point not to eat food from any chain restaurant or eatery. During a recent trip to Bimini, which is the closest Bahamian island to the United States, I did not have that problem. Due to the fact that there are not any chain food places on the island, I was not left with much of a choice. The closest thing to anything that resembled a chain was Amicci’s, the coffee shop, which served a limited Starbucks menu. Staying … [Read more...]
Antequera: Andalucia Spain without the tourists
We say we want an authentic local experience when we travel. But do we? Suburbs and industrial parks are authentic if, by that word, you mean a place where people actually live and work. What we really seek are sights and a slice of life that doesn’t feel produced for the consumption of others. Or maybe all we desire are places not frequented by other tourists. We want to feel we’re having a unique experience, one that hasn’t shown up already … [Read more...]
