It’s on a place’s edges where you see the more unusual sights, and for the southern … [Read more...]
Journey To Merida Mexico
Three key ingredients make up charming places - People, pride and respect. In my travels to Merida Mexico I found the perfect blend of all three. The Yucatan culture takes pride in their families, ancestors, and their rich history. Truly living for each day, they respect who they are, who they are with, and what they are doing. With respect for oneself, there is a respect for other people. Providing a place of safety, security and … [Read more...]

A Week at the Beach on Isla Mujeres

River Gods: Confessions of a Grand Canyon Guide
It all began, for me, at a meeting of the Canoe Cruisers Association, the Washington, D.C. chapter.

A recent high school graduate searching for life’s passion, I joined up at the urging of my old Scout leader, and was immediately hooked. My … [Read more...]
