Enjoy a European Geo Thermal Spa Experience in the heart of Southern California

November 15, 2024 by Joanne and Tony TravelsLeave a Comment

Murrieta Hot Springs, California,  Geothermal Resort Review I first discovered the benefits of thermal springs as a young bride living in Southern Germany.  My life there included visits to picturesque towns which evoked scenes right out of the “Sound of Music.”  But nothing quite surpassed the rejuvenation and relaxation I felt after a dip in one of the many thermal pools that dotted the Bavarian countryside.

Beyond the Vines: Paso Robles’ Playground of Lights, Bites, and Delights

October 26, 2024 by Tom BentleyLeave a Comment

Tom Brady sold his Rolls-Royce Ghost at auction in August 2024. Interestingly, though, the auction house did not release the final price of the sale and it is not public information. The press suggested that bidding had reached around $400,000 for the signed vehicle midway through proceedings. However, officials did not release the sale price figures in a statement, as they normally would. If the vehicle sold for a $400,000 price tag, it … [Read more...]

Darwin, California – October 2024

October 1, 2024 by DaveLeave a Comment

Fairly isolated, this small town has a population of somewhere between 30 and 35 full time residents (including those who live in some trailers on the outskirts of the downtown area). Today the town is a mix of various artists, characters and those who value their privacy. Straddling being a living town and a ghost town, remarkably it still exists. The residents change over the years but the town doesn't seem to grow much. Named after Darwin … [Read more...]
