This week's photo is a street scene I enjoyed in Valparaíso, Chile. The crumbling and glass-studded wall of this jewelry workshop contrasts sharply with the pretty chalk flowers drawn on the wall. And there's a cat! Foto Friday is a series where I go back through my archives to share photos that I love either because I think they are beautiful or they have an interesting story. I hope you ...
Our Desperate Attempt to Travel Slower

Here's a quote from his email: For now I plan on doing Ireland to Portugal to Spain to France to Belgium to Switzerland to Germany to Scotland and than [sic] back to Ireland. 10 cities. Dublin Cork Lisbon Madrid Barcelona Paris Berlin Bruges ...

Travel food lesson learned: Follow your nose, not your eyes. Foto Friday is a series where I go back ...

By the time we got to Peru, we were burned out from travel, and the process of arranging the trip to Machu Picchu was frustrating and ...

The largest collection of outdoor mural art in the United States is just minutes away from downtown San Diego, but if you've visited the city, you've probably driven over it without even knowing it. San Diego's Chicano Park is hidden below the San Diego-Coronado Bridge. More than 70 vibrantly colored murals adorn the support pylons of the freeway overpass. The murals pay tribute to the ...
