Day 2 – Still Finally pointed toward Alabama we sit back and take in our surroundings. “Ooooo. Florida Caverns State Park. Where is that? It looks close. What is it?!” Me. “I don’t know, but you won’t be finding out today.” Him. “Florida Caverns State Park. Florida Caverns State Park.” Me, imprinting it in … More Crossing Borders
Apalachicola Day 2 There is something so inspiring about waking to the sound of seagulls singing their early morning fishing song. Beyond that I can faintly make out the sound of ropes and masts meeting each other as the wind and surf rock the sailboats nearby. It’s a beautiful day, I just know it, before … More Apalachicola – It’s Just Fun To Say
It started early. Like 10 minutes away from our front door early. “Which way are you going?” Him. “The way I always go.” Me. “Are you sure?” “Yes. This is how we just went to Micanopy. This is how I always go to the ashram. Same way.” “No, I think we went 426.” “No, we … More Off the Beaten Path Small Town Back Road Trip
It has been such a pleasure to meander through the hallways of WordPress. Each doorway opens into a new and fascinating experience. When I first started blogging it felt very vulnerable yet boastful. Who am I to post my photos? Who wants to read what I have to say? It all seemed very self-important. Then … More I’d Like to Thank…
Pushkar, India. After an hour long sunset camel ride into the desert for a traditional Rajasthani meal, our camels got to rest and we found our spots. Just before I sat down, I turned around to find this majestic creature against the backdrop of a stunning sunset.
I have had the tremendous fortune to be invited to this natural wonder for the long Fourth of July weekend. The beauty of the water and landscape is just breathtaking. In one day we did yoga on the deck of a private home overlooking the cobalt blue of the Atlantic ocean; took a boat ride … More Silenced by Beauty
My relationship with Florida has evolved much like a good marriage. It began courting me when I was younger, using my grandparents as bait. I would fly from Washington DC to St. Petersburg by myself when I was about 8. The lovely stewardesses (that’s what they were called back then) would take good care of … More I Heart Florida
There is something so fascinating about a prehistoric animal that barely moves yet strikes such fear in so many. In truth, alligators rarely attack people unless they are provoked. And if you’re going to harass an alligator, well then. On the other hand they are not warm and fuzzy either. They are their number one … More Alligator Appreciation
Rajagiri, Tamil Nadu, India There are some places you visit that appear monochromatic, even boring on the surface. This is especially true if you’ve just come from a city alive with color. I stopped at this piece of ancient history as I was traveling from Tiruvannamalai to Pondicherry. Tiruvannamalai is a destination for many spiritual … More Pretty as a Painting
London, England It’s been almost two months since I’ve returned from India. For three full days before India I was in London. I had nearly forgotten. I loved it. It was chilly and one day quite rainy, but the energy was electric, in a perfectly appropriate British way, and they had a Starbucks right around … More Shiny things
