Charming and Mysterious Mazatlan

We found those and so much more, including history, culture and adventure. Mazatlan is a charming Mexican city with a distinctive character and even a little mystery. In Mazatlan, traditions have continued for many years allowing it to maintain an authenticity that one doesn’t find in many resort areas. The people … [Read more...]

Hidden Treasures of El Salvador
Hidden yet in plain sight is the poor but plentiful country of El Salvador in Central America. Bound on one side by the brilliant blue waters of the South Pacific Ocean, cornered by Honduras and Guatemala it is a country of many different facets each one shining light upon its varied attractions.

Visiting The Armory in San Francisco
The Armory is not what you think it is! To start off, this building is a historical building located in a residential area of Mission District. This building was originally built for the United States National Guard and was later unused in 1976. The building served no purpose until 2006, when an Internet pornography company called Kink.com decides to buy it off. Kink.com specializes in BDSM pornography for the sexual minorities with a definite … [Read more...]

Traveling in the North Country Fair… Part 1 Adirondacks & Catskills
Part 1 Even though few therapists would agree, sometimes neglect paths to the best possible outcome. Such is the case with the Adirondacks, whose fierce geography, unproductive soil, and hard weather diverted early American settlers to more benign plots.

Murray’s book, Adventures in the Wilderness, extolling the freshness … [Read more...]
Traveling in the North Country Fair… Part 2 The Spirit of the Catskills
Before arriving at a new place we all carry the luggage of pre-conceptions. There are usually holes in this kit; we’re almost always wrong, at least to some extent, about our notions. My idea of the Catskills came from two very different periods, the live television run of the 1950s; and the Summer of Love in 1969, the year of Woodstock. As a young boy I would run home from school every day to turn on the TV and drink in whatever show or … [Read more...]
Old Florida charm in Panama City Beach
Panama City Beach in the Florida panhandle is one of those places that remind you of a combination of other places, a blend of kitschy charm found in Myrtle Beach, Atlantic City and Key West. It’s a place unto its own, though, and one where you’ll soon find, by dialect and design, a place apart from what you might usually think of as the Sunshine State. South Florida, more a mindset than geographical location, is arguably from the middle of … [Read more...]
