A Slice of Cabo Wry

October 15, 2013 by Tom BentleyLeave a Comment

I think it’s natural that when you enter another country, particularly for the first time, you immediately look for both the familiar and the strange. Driving into Cabo San Lucas from the airport, I was struck by the scattered groups and solitary sentinels of Cardón cactus, the spindly beasts that are the world’s largest cactus, and that can live over 300 years. These pricklies have been witness to the remarkable changes that have taken place at … [Read more...]

July 5, 2013 by John EdwardsLeave a Comment

John M. Edwards switches two similar independence holidays around, “when” left intentionally vague, while storming the Bastille crowd on the 4th of July and watching the Hudson fireworks on the 14th of Juillet. In Paris, I finally managed to go by “bateau mouche” (boat fly) to one of my favorite sights on the Seine: the original little lady, a smaller prototype of “The Statue of Liberty”—a colossal gift from France which was shipped over to … [Read more...]

Food as an affirmation of identity

July 3, 2013 by Aradhana MahtaniLeave a Comment

Well, its that time of the year again. Summer holidays are over and I’m all set to leave for another semester of College in the States. No Bombay for the next 4 months and I better have everything I need. As I zip my suitcase the aroma of a dozen intoxicating Indian spices escape to me and I know with the ingredients of my favorite foods intact, home will never be too far away – even in my messy dorm room kitchen in the middle of Lancaster, … [Read more...]
