2012 Out! Well friends, it’s time for yet another year to come to a close. For someone who has a ‘home base’ now in Chicago, I still can’t believe how fortunate I am to get to travel as much as I do. And, if I can take a moment to be sappy…I can’t do it […]

As usual, my days during my trip down California’s coast seemed to center around food. Where would I eat? When would I eat? And, how the heck would I decide what to eat with such mouth-watering options? For a change I didn’t feel conspicuous by pulling out my big DSLR in a nice restaurant. On […]

View from Top of Culver City Steps The City of Angels It’s no secret that Los Angeles is not my favorite city. I often think it doesn’t deserve to share the moniker with other metropolises like New York or Chicago. Besides the actual downtown, the rest of it is urban sprawl multiplied – ugly strip […]

I heard from so many that Lisbon was one of the best cities in Europe. It has personality, culture, history and is friendly and fairly cheap. From affordable lodging to cheap food and free sights, Lillie, from another “L” blog, shares a great list of why Lisbon is a budget traveler’s dream. The largest city […]

I can’t figure out why in English some add an “O” to the front of this city’s name calling it Oporto. I know we make some proper names into easier English words like Venice from Venezia or Germany from Deutschland, but never quite understood why we couldn’t just say Roma…or now, Porto. Porto is the […]

This is Islington I haven’t been to London in about 3 years. And now being back, I realize I missed it. There is something about walking around this historical city – I always picture it being a few hundred years ago – which is easy to do with all the old row houses and […]

National Parks Month July is the U.S.’s National Parks and Recreation month. What will you be doing to get out and recreate? And that’s reCREate…not REcreate or even procreate. There are 58 National Parks in the United States protected by the National Park Service. That’s a lot. I am not even sure how many I’ve […]
