Exploring Las Terrenas, Dominican Republic

March 8, 2016 by DaveLeave a Comment

Today we skirted the edges of Santo Domingo - the oldest city in North America founded by Europeans. It dates from 1496. Now we find ourselves in the small but very busy town of Las Terrenas on the Samaná Peninsula - about a 2.5 hour drive from Santo Domingo. Kite Surfing is popular here - several outfitters offer introductory courses - usually lasting 6 - 9 hours spread out over several days. We became inspired by the combination of … [Read more...]

Four Days in Italy

February 23, 2016 by Henry Tobias2 Comments

In March or April of 2003 I received a registered letter from the Israeli lottery telling me I had won a four day trip to Rome for my wife and myself, which included travel, the hotel—bed and breakfast. Tours and entertainment, which looked very enticing, were extra. We didn’t know if we’d ever visit Italy again, so I signed on immediately for the whole kit and caboodle. The travel company invited all the winners down to their offices in Tel … [Read more...]

February 22, 2016 by DaveLeave a Comment

The groundhog predicts an early spring this year, but even if he is wrong, one early sign of spring is certain. Fragrant plumes of steam rising from sugar shack chimneys throughout Western Connecticut always herald the arrival of maple syrup season, New England’s traditional signal that winter is on the way out. As soon as days are above freezing and the sap begins to run, the fascinating process begins: tapping the maple trees, collecting the … [Read more...]

How to spend a few days in Buenos Aires (and feel like a Porteño)

February 14, 2016 by Claudia Tavani4 Comments

Besides, it is a fantastic place to explore, with it's European charm (for good reason it is known as the Paris of the South) combined with it's South American vibe. In Buenos Aires, examples of modern architecture stand directly next to … [Read more...]

An Afternoon in Brooklyn’s Park Slope

January 13, 2016 by Brian Cicioni1 Comment

I recently spent a Sunday afternoon in Brooklyn’s Park Slope. There were a handful of places I wanted to visit to make the nearly 30 minute trip from Washington Square Park worthwhile. I played U2’s The Joshua Tree on my new iPhone 6S and boarded the D train to the Atlantic Av-Pacific St. From there, I intended to transfer to the 2-3 line, but there was a delay, so I boarded the Q train and took it one stop to 7 Av instead. This area was new … [Read more...]
