Photo Opportunities in the Smokies #2
Last week I posted the first of a series of blogposts (I hope) on the various parts of the Smokies. This week I continued exploring the same stretch of the Little River in the Tremont area. The road to this stretch is found about of…
Blue Ridge Parkway in Autumn
Sometimes we don’t spend enough time in our own backyard. I keep wanting to spend more time in Smokies during the Fall and I keep failing at my goal. I did get out for a day last year with a buddy and we traveled a…
Winelands of the Western Cape, South Africa.
Have you been to the winelands of the Western Cape? I may be biased (having spent the majority of my life in this region) but I still think the Western Cape is one of the premier destinations of the world. I no longer live there,…

Lima, Peru coastline – Costa Verde?
If you see the last post, it was of Zapallar, a charming little village on the coast of Chile. Green, lush and really interesting. Well the coastline of Lima, Peru is just plain desert, beautiful in its own way. But the interesting thing is that…
Zapallar, Chile.
It was interesting going from Lima, Peru where it is basically a desert to Santiago (and then to Zapallar). Same coast but completely different feel. Zapallar is a small little holiday village just north of Valparaiso. It reminded me so much of two other coastlines….
