Cape Cod, Massachusetts
As a child in the ‘70s, Cape Cod seemed like a magical land where the Kennedys had a compound, people vacationed and kids like me visited only in dreams. Luckily, though, it is no longer a dream for me: I have visited several times! Most recently, I spent a week in late August 2024 visiting…

Costa Rica: Pura Vida!
I will not do justice to the amazing trip I had to Costa Rica in March 2024: I simply waited too long to write and my memories are less clear. Yet, I don’t want to lose the pictures and mark the journey. I traveled with my daughter to a yoga retreat on the Pacific side…

Miami: dining by the water
After the cruise we spent the rest of the day and night in Miami. We certainly would have been able to schedule a plane home the same day, but I hate unnecessary rushing. Plus, I have cousins in the area and wanted to visit! We met for dinner at the Bayside Marketplace. A bit touristy…

Food, Part 1 – Breakfasts in Chicago

Houston!
Well, Reader, I am pausing on my reflections on Asia! I know that trip will continue to come up in my life – so many wonderful experiences that I continue to process! But, I am now going to reflect on new journeys, domestic and international. In May, I visited Houston for the first time. We…

The food at the resort was varied and delicious. We particularly enjoyed the Italian, French and Japanese restaurants in the evenings. Breakfast buffet and a Mexican place for lunch rounded out the joy. At the Italian restaurant: At the French restaurant: At the Japanese restaurant: I don’t seem to have a pic of the really…
