One of the things I try to do in a city I've never visited, is to go to the highest point to take in the view. Several cities around the world have funiculars, or cable rail cars that run on a fixed path, up and down steep hills. In most cases, these quirky, old rail cars were designed pre-automobile and -- I can only imagine -- became a welcome alternative to making the trek on foot. I just ...
Dog Beach, Happy Place
I was in Huntington Beach, California the first time I saw a stretch of beach that had been given to dogs. The towels and beach chairs and soft white sand closer to the pier, gave way to well packed sand to the north coast where dozens of dogs ran off leash. I remember feeling excited as I watching them wrestle and splash in the surf, in love with life and enjoying every moment. Since adopting ...
San Francisco #SweetsCrawl Itinerary: See You Tomorrow!
Who else is excited for tomorrow's SF #SweetsCrawl? I certainly am! Most of all I'm eager to share my excitement for locally-produced (and sweet!) foods with all of you in person. More than 20 people have RSVP'ed for this decadent tour, with another dozen or so that I (unfortunately) had to turn away. Rest assured that on Monday, I'll start planning SweetsCrawl #2. But before I get ahead of ...

As I got closer, I realized that instead of gilded paint, the shiny metallic look was caused by thousands of padlocks attached the grates. It turns out that this was Paris's most famous "Love Lock" bridge. I'm not a particularly romantic person, but when I first ...
28 Photos of East London Street Art
The first thing Kevin asked our guide, Karim, when we met outside of a tube station somewhere in the East London borough of Hackney was, "Does everyone on your tours sign up after watching 'Exit Through the Giftshop'?" I groaned, knowing how utterly uncool that made us sound. As if all we knew about hip East London's street art scene was what we learned from watching a documentary on ...
Iglesia de la Candelaria, Bogotá, Colombia
I just realized tonight that I haven't written a thing about Colombia. Well, there was this. (And yes, I am ashamed that this is all I've written about this beautiful country.) As the one-year anniversary of our trip fast approaches, I hope to finally make the time to go back through my photos and share some memories before they fade. Until then, check out this photo of the late afternoon ...
