I drove through the city of San Jose last weekend. Everywhere the streets were clogged with traffic and shoppers, rushing around to cash in on Christmas deals and sales. Besides making a mental note to avoid the traffic until after Christmas, the scene made me adamantly think how much I do not want that chaos for my holiday season.

Sure, it’s fun to buy gifts for others; and it definitely is fun to receive them! Giving and receiving at any time, in all forms, is one of the most beautiful elements

Muerte al GPS. Al igual que en las medinas de las ciudades árabes, lo mejor que le puede pasar en Lyon es que se pierda. Si se desorienta y aunque mire el mapa no sabe dónde se encuentra, no se preocupe. Eche a caminar y dará con rincones especiales de esos que no vienen en las guías. La tercera ciudad más poblada de Francia está repleta de callejones, como los famosos traboules, pasadizos que conectan una calle con otra a través de los patios de los edificios. Uno de los más famosos es el de la

Escape this winter to the land of everlasting summer on the Central Pacific Coast of Costa Rica.

Blue skies, golden sun, tropical breezes, warm surf and soft sand await you. Sounds pretty good if you’re looking out the window at freezing rain, ice, snow and a heavy gray sky, doesn’t it?

Stretching from the port town of Puntarenas to the surf town of Dominical, Costa Rica’s Central Pacific Coast is a transition zone from the dry tropical forest of the North Pacific to the wet rainforest of the Sout

After a 5 hour drive SSW out of Nairobi Iarrived at the Amboseli Sopa Lodge, located on the outskirts of Amboseli National Park.  The lodge is stunningly beautiful and comfortable. Yes, we are “in the bush.” I know, because there is no internet and cell phones do not work.  Actually the lodge has had internet, but it does not work anymore, and the cell phone coverage is limited to one carrier, the name of which is, wonderfully, Safaricom. The lodge provides every other creature comfort one would

The Inti Raymi is a festival held every year in Cusco. 

The Incas, like many other indigenous peoples around the world,  worshiped the sun, and every 24th of June they held the ”Inti Raymi”, which means ”sun party” in Quechua.  It starts at the temple of the sun, and goes to the main square.  It finishes at Sacsayhuamán. Sacrifices were made during the event.
