Visit Mayan Natives of Yucatan Jungle By Bonnie Neely Since over a millennium before Christ, the Mayan civilization thrived in this rich peninsula and preserved the land that provided their needs with abundant fruits and animals, birds, and sealife. The Yucatan has many cenotas ,or underground fresh water rivers, flowing through limestone tunnels and caves, which the Mayans kept pure as their source of life. And, thanks to the strict building codes and careful planning of current developers and the government, visitors can still enjoy much of the unspoiled landscape... Read More...

Vietnam’s Black Hmong Saleswomen By Mary Walker Clark The path became very steep, muddy and slick as we turned off the main road. The women gently took our arms and steadied us as we descended to the river level. Our group paused at one of the women’s houses for her to briefly nurse her baby. At Lao Chi, we stopped at a restaurant where our guide was to cook us lunch. It was there, two hours after the start of the trek, that we finally looked at the women’s goods. They had invested much of their time getting to know us and we them, hoping we would buy something. Obviously, we did. Read More...

Spinalonga-Venetian Fortress and Former Leper Colony Island: Now a Tourist Attraction By Nancy S. Tardy Those with an interest in pre- and ancient Roman, Greek and Arabic histories can find much of interest in the numerous villages and archeological sites on this, the most southerly of the Mediterranean islands. However, visitors with more sybaritic interests will find them fulfilled with a visit to this friendly, low-key, sun-dazzled escape. Read More...

Gunkholing with CruiseWest By Howard Hian Gunkhole is a nautical term loosely defined as “to wander, discovering whatever is around the next bend or just over the horizon.” My wife and I enjoyed a splendid week of gunkholing aboard CruiseWest's Spirit of Endeavor on their Pacific Northwest Coastal Escape departing from Seattle.

I even learned that New Orleans was the birthplace of the cocktail. Antoine Amedee Peychaud, a French planter and pharmacist, was forced to flee the Caribbean island of Santo Domingo during the Black Rebellion of 1793. He relocated to New Orleans...Read More...

A Day in San Gimigiano By Andrea Granahan On a bench across the courtyard a harpist had taken refuge with his instrument. He began playing Bach’s Jesu Joy of Man’s Desiring. The liquid notes of the beautiful melody filled the courtyard. Everyone stopped chattering and just listened, rapt. Read More...

Seattle's Alki Beach By Kregg P.J. Jorgenson Adjacent to the Water Taxi Dock is a public fishing pier usually lined with patient anglers hoping to catch a migrating Salmon. “Any luck?” is a commonly asked question while a smile or shrug is the common lie but every so often a happy angler reels one in to the applause or envy of a gathering crowd.

Our Trip to St. Louis, Mo By Girl Scout Troop During my summer trip, between 8th and 9th grades, I went with my senior Girl Scout Troop to St. Louis, Missouri. While on this trip, I visited the St. Louis Arch, attended a Cardinals baseball game, shopped at the Galleria (a mall), played at the City Museum, toured the St. Louis Cathedral, ate at one of the Italian restaurants on The Hill, visited the St. Louis Zoo and saw the musical Fiddler on the Roof at the Muny.

My favorite place to visit had to be inside the Arch. This was my favorite because of the scenery and the spectacular view when you arrive at the top. Read More...
