Serve me up a bowl of Whistler

November 17, 2013 by Martin NolanLeave a Comment

Editor's note: It has been a number of years since we've been back to Whistler. Nice photos - really tempting to return now! In any other walk of life a bowl is.....well, just something curved that you eat cereal from. Yeah, it is pretty useful, but it’s definitely not exciting or sexy. But if you’re skiing in Canada a bowl is something completely different. If you mention a bowl around a resort, suddenly people perk up, they listen to every … [Read more...]

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...]
