During this September trip to Cape Cod, I stayed a night in Provincetown. It’s the liveliest, most interesting town on Cape Cod, at the farthest point, where the tip curves around as if beckoning you in. Recommended by a friend I had met traveling, I lodged at an inn at the far end of theContinue reading “Provincetown again”

Around the Cape
A Cape Cod stay is an opportunity to drive around and explore the peninsula. At the end of this visit, I spent a night in Provincetown. On the way back, I stopped at the Highland Lighthouse, in North Truro, on the Atlantic coast. A plein air outdoor painting class was in progress and canvases andContinue reading “Around the Cape”
Wandering Cape Cod again
September is a good time to visit the Cape. The crowds are gone, restaurants are still open, and it’s surprisingly still quite warm. The sun lit my days for a week and a half, rain only the last few days, morning fog adding a little mystery to the cemetery across the street. A kind friendContinue reading “Wandering Cape Cod again”
Birds of Galapagos
The Galapagos islands are home to an amazing variety of birds that hop, soar, and perch amidst the mix of wildlife. My last two posts of travels in the Galapagos highlighted land and sea animals in their natural habitat on an eight-day cruise on a small ship in 2006. Hiking over volcanic black lava or skirtingContinue reading “Birds of Galapagos”
Galapagos sea life
Our small ship, holding only twelve passengers, continued island-hopping in the Galapagos Islands in 2006 for eight days, with hiking excursions and sea outings, often in snorkeling gear. My last post centered on land animals, but there were creatures that preferred water habitats. We boated to the shore in smaller vessels. Although Galapagos tortoises are land-dwelling reptiles, theyContinue reading “Galapagos sea life”
Galapagos adventure
Before leaving Guatemala in 2006, after teaching there for three years, I headed south for the Galapagos Islands, a place I’ve always wanted to visit. I have just taken some time off from blogging this summer, so, if you have stopped at this blog before, thanks for joining me once again. At the dock onContinue reading “Galapagos adventure”
North of Taos
The Taos Pueblo people have lived in northern New Mexico for more than one-thousand years. The pueblo is a sovereign Native American nation inside the United States, still inhabited by members of the Tiwa tribe. Its well-kept, multi-story adobe structures are attractive and distinctive. Artisan studios and shops show their handcrafted works, open to visitorsContinue reading “North of Taos”
Art of Taos
I headed south to New Mexico, a road trip before the summer events in my little town got in full swing. The desert-colored adobe buildings and its vibrant artist community, similar to Santa Fe yet much smaller and less expensive, steep the area in a warm welcoming atmosphere. For centuries an area of trade betweenContinue reading “Art of Taos”
Denver Pride 2024
Denver celebrated its fiftieth anniversary of Denver Pride this June with a weekend of activities, culminating in the parade last Sunday. I had to go! An estimated 100,000 people had the same idea. Ten years ago, I took part in a Pride parade in Toronto. In 2014, Canada hosted the International World Pride festival. IContinue reading “Denver Pride 2024”
Moeraki
The Moeraki beach looked like an alien landscape, with huge round egg-like rocks in the surf. Just south of Oamaru on the southeast coast of New Zealand’s South Island, it was on the way to Christchurch, where flights awaited. It wasn’t our last stop, but, for those of you who have followed my New ZealandContinue reading “Moeraki”
