The Savoy is a local favorite but many patrons travel out of their way to savored riggies at the Savoy Restaurant where they have been serving great food for more than 100 years.

When I chose to become single again at age 54, I also chose to live my life to the fullest and decided to publicize the fact that I was a Baby Bloomer (only beginning to blossom). I had just returned to full time teaching in a diverse, though largely Mexican, community in southern California.
I was itching to...spread my wings and go off on my own for the first time in thirty years. It only seemed logical to combine my vacation
Londoners suffered collective withdrawal symptoms when the Olympic Games ended on August 11 and are now hoping to recapture some of the drama and excitement when the Paralympics begin on 29 August. This is a good time to reflect on what the Games achieved and whether this fervour can be replicated.

The romance of traveling by train never fades. Trains mean a journey. The feeling of travel while sitting on a train is unique. The scenery flows past in a way not like from an airplane or in a car – especially if you’re the one driving and you can’t sightsee, but also because a train crosses countryside instead of following busy roads.
