Cosmopolitan and Beautiful – George Town in the Cayman Islands

The minute I stepped off the cruise ship, I knew I was somewhere special! I couldn't wait to explore the winding, colorful and cosmopolitan streets of George Town in the Grand Cayman Islands.  George Town is the capital of the Cayman Islands which are located in the British West Indies.  These islands have a population of over 55,000 making it the second-largest city of all the British Overseas Territories.  It definitely has a British vibe as … [Read more...]

Blooming Where We’re Planted, and A Taste of Honey

We were a busload of older women off on a jaunt on a hot day in July. Departing from a Montreal seniors’ center, we rode off to Mirabel, located in the Lower Laurentian Hills. In less than an hour we arrived at Routes des Gerbes d”Angelica, a collection of 14 themed gardens which are the creation of 20 retirees who have invested their money and the rest of their lives, it seems, into creating and sustaining a sanctuary of natural beauty. Most of … [Read more...]

MGM Springfield Jump Starts City’s Future by Rejuvenating Its Past

The Industrial Revolution ended long ago in the United States but remnants of its impact are still palpable. Once temples of commerce, many cities bustled with sprawling factories, grand theaters, turn of the century office towers, majestic hotels, and regal apartment buildings woven together by pedestrian friendly street grids. Today, much of this ornately designed architecture is demolished or condemned. Over the years, speculative … [Read more...]

Art, Beauty, History, and Cuisine on the English Riviera

Along with my partner, I recently took a short trip down to the English Riviera where I found beauty, history, and the most incredible food! We were lucky with the weather, the sun shone the whole time we were there and the air was warm and balmy, but I imagine this place is almost as scenic when the weather isn’t as accommodating. This part of Devon is best known for Torquay, home of Faulty Towers, but we wanted something a little more off the … [Read more...]
