What’s all the buzz about stand-up paddle surfing?
It’s one of the fastest emerging global water sports, that’s what.
Also called stand-up paddleboarding, or SUP for short, the sport is popular with surfers as a way to keep fit when surf is low and also as another way to catch waves. Because it is a great full-body workout, other athletes like skiers, snowboarders, etc. are using stand-up paddle surfing to cross train.
Described as “walking on water,”it involves standing on a big, long modified sur

A unique wine tasting phenomenon is going on in the Temecula Valley Wine Country, located about an hour north of San Diego. While it’s not surprising that the wine aficionados here get together and drink good wine, eat good food, and discuss what they’re eating and drinking, it is interesting that there are several organized groups that meet not just for socialization but for the specific purpose of tasting and reviewing wines from all over the country and the world. These groups are organized

When the Belize Tourist Board asked me to come to Belize to get a taste of their “slice of paradise,” I gladly accepted. As a scuba diver I was well aware that Belize is the world’s second largest barrier reef, only Australia’s Great Barrier Reef in Queensland is larger. I figured a beach vacation would be a dream come true. But, I would begin my “Belizean Adventure” in the jungles of Belize. The Caves Branch Jungle Lodge and Tree Houses wou

Intenté hacer un cálculo: contar el número de veces que se le abrirá la boca en San Petersburgo. Lo más probable es que termine perdiendo la cuenta. Peter, como la denominan sus habitantes igual que si estuvieran llamando a un colega, está construida para impresionar. Al zar Pedro el Grande se le ocurrió levantarla a principios del siglo XVIII en medio de la nada. ¿Y a cuento de qué? Quería conectar Rusia con Europa y el mar.

The Amber stadium is already quiet and the teams and fans are leaving.
The local businesses and tourist industry are sad to see them go. The city truly enjoyed the colour, good humour and decent behaviour of the fans, but the Irish were their star favourites. No other fans could be so friendly, sing, play and lose in such great style.
