It is said that everything is bigger in Texas. This is proved true as Texas houses three of the thirteen Presidential Libraries run by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) are located in the Lone Star state. These libraries are unique as they are the only presidential libraries to be located on college campuses. The LBJ library was dedicated on May 22, 1971 at the University of Texas at Austin.

Everyone Comes to Rick’s
Our Christmas tour around Morocco had seemed like a good idea at the time. A comprehensive itinerary appeared to take in a lot of the country in a short period, making it good value. Unfortunately, it also meant that most of the days were spent crammed into a packed minibus, with brief, highly choreographed stops to see the sights. So when we arrived back in Marrakech, with a day off in the schedule, naturally most people just wanted to chill … [Read more...]

Books and authors have an incredible ability to direct travel trends. UK based tours around Harry Potter are the most obvious example, but less ambitious tomes often speak to readers. I can remember when I first encountered Kurt Vonnegut. My high school American literature seminar required reading from a selected list of contemporary writers. Where others reached for The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, I ended up with Cat's Cradle. It was … [Read more...]
Eating Essentials in New Haven, CT
I’m not a big fan of pizza. I like it well enough, but I had never had a pizza that I thought was extraordinary. There is one exception - I’m originally from Northeastern Pennsylvania and pizza from the town of Old Forge really is delicious. But with square cuts from a big rectangular crust, thick tomato sauce, and an American cheese blend, Old Forge pizza always seemed outside the realm of ordinary pizza, in its own category, at least in my … [Read more...]
Small-town Travels in France’s Alsace Region
France’s oft-neglected eastern border is notable for a few things: lush countryside, Germanic architecture, and storybook charm. There’s nowhere in the world that sings to the heart like Alsace; somehow, its cobbled streets create the desire to get lost in back alleys with a pastry or two. Alsace is a fairly small section of France, with just under two million people calling it home. Strasbourg, seat of the European Parliament and capital of … [Read more...]

Fortunately, now we have a lot more options compared to only few decades ago, let alone a century ago. Moreover, … [Read more...]
