Born in Virginia and with an early boyhood in a small town in Missouri, Arthur was a lawyer who became a pioneering and great travel journalist, and who will be remembered as having helped open the joys of travel to the masses.

What do you wear to Seven Magic Mountains?

Seven Magic Mountains is an art installation located in the Nevada desert, and the weather can be quite hot and dry. Therefore, it is recommended to wear comfortable and breathable clothing, such as shorts, t-shirts, and sandals or sneakers. You may also want to bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun. It's also a good idea to bring a bottle of water to stay hydrated. While there is no strict dress code, it's important to dress appropriately for the weather and…

  • book a fligth, an hotel and a car and go to Portugal Dream Coast http://portugaldreamcoast.com/
  • Truly awesome images, Mr. Fletcher. I'm sure the real thing is much more intense.
  • This morning as I dusted (it has to be done sometime, and can be sorta Zen), I wondered if the sale of the Huffington Post won't have a negative effect on all the cyber start-ups who want writers to contribute for free (well, we'll get exposure and a chance to link our websites to theirs and maybe in a year or two or 10 they'll be able to pay...)?

     

    Perhaps now maybe some writers will rethink the value of working for free and helping someone build their website for a future sale. One can but hope.

  • Actually, that shot was on Vieques.  Here's a shot from Piñones, which features miles of beach, mostly deserted on weekdays.9012273494?profile=original
  • Tom, on which part of the island did you take that photograph?
  • I ditto the positive comments about P.R.  The island has so much to offer and is truly worth visiting over and over again.  I spent some time with a family member there and even considered applying for a position in the D.A.'s office following law school (and before founding World Footprints media).

     

    To each his own, but I don't understand why some are discouraging travel to this lovely island.

    World Footprints

  • Puerto Rico has some awesome beaches; world class beaches.  I lived there a total of seven years and love the island.9012273101?profile=original
