Hidden behind an 18th century facade. To the all new Rosewood. But if you are especially lucky. To have friends with a home in San Miguel. Father of...

Not to be outdone in the East vs West. The Western Span on the San Francisco side. An art-light installation of 25,000 LED lights. Bouncing...

Not one of the three. Versions has managed to capture. The vibrancy of Fitzgerald's original prose. But the current version. When so...

Wednesday, June 5, 2013. SAN MIGUEL DE ALLENDE. Are crawling with bugs. British racing green Bugs. Not real true Bugs. The VW Beetle was designed by Ferdinand PORSCHE in 1938. It's in the DNA so the resemblance is uncanny. Great design is timeless. If it ain't broke don't fix it". And these are about the only kind of bugs you will find in this charming 17th century. Mexican town where the air is clear, the streets are clean, and the locals are charming. Though walking is the primary mode of transportation.

Saturday, January 26, 2013. ROAM for the holidays. Please excuse my delay in posting this journal entry. Many of you have let me know. That I've been slacking off. But nice to know I 've been missed. Though the yuletide is behind us it's not too early to consider. THE GIFT OF TRAVEL. London is always a Dickens Christmas. So festive when decked out in holiday lights. ONLY IF YOU CAN STAND THE CROWDS. But the food halls alone are worth it. Traditional British meat pies. And famous macaroons from LADUREE.
