The Pint-sized Ponces of Punta Gorda
Ponce de Leon, it seems, was a short fellow. In Punta Gorda, Florida, you'll find pint-sized statues, murals, and even the Fountain of Youth to recollect his 1513 visit to Charlotte Harbor.
Being, in Palolem
Arriving on the shores of Palolem after six weeks of adventures across India and Nepal, my sister Sally and I were ready for some quiet time and a place to heal.
Springtime in Corfu
Home to verdant forests and colorful wildflowers, Corfu is not a barren jumble of rocks like some Greek islands, but a place where nature's fireworks add a glorious touch to the backdrop of the Ionian Sea.
Going Barefoot
One of Florida's most beautiful beaches, Barefoot Beach in North Naples is a sandy ribbon two miles long with a 2-mile hiking loop to access Wiggins Pass.

Exploring Florida's Spanish history up the St. Johns River to the shores south of St. Augustine, with time spent meandering around Washington Oaks Gardens State Park, on the site of the Mala Compara Plantation.
Sacred Cow
When Sally and I found the beach in Goa, we found the respite we sought from the seething masses and perpetual motion that makes up India. It was a place to relax.

The Peanut-Wallah
In India, peace is only for a moment. We had many visitors at the beach in Goa, the most persistent - and cutest - being the peanut-wallah.
