Ross Park Zoo

While there, we decided …

Cerro Italy
Cerro is a cute little town right next to laveno. The town doesn’t have a great deal to offer but in it’s little it can offer a lot.

Day Trips with The Biking Dutchman, Quito, Ecuador
Quite simply, for me, the prospect of biking around Ecuador is intimidating. The roads here are steep and crowded with traffic. The terrain that can be covered, Cotopaxi, Otavalo, and Pichincha Volcanoes, have elements that I wouldn’t be comfortable covering by myself. I have met those …
Brussels
Brussels, in Belgium to me is a very grand place to visit, and the locals are all filled with friendly people and there are lots of beautiful buildings around this great city in Belgium. There are lots of historical buildings if you like to see them and this …

Bromley Moutain, Bromley, VT
While vacationing in New England, I had the opportunity to go to Bromley Mountain, Vt. They have so much to do here in the summer. More people need to know about this! It’s so much fun for us non-skiers!
They have an Alpine Slide, it’s …
The Holocaust Memorial Center.

Gavirate is the first ‘real’ town you will find between Laveno and Varese. This town is usually the meeting point for teens who come from all over the province, especially Varese, Ispra, Laveno, Besozzo etc.
This is primarily because it has a lot of evening entertainment which most teens can …
Longwood Gardnes
One place that absolutely is one of the most impressive places in the whole world that I have been to, is Longwood Gardens in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania. It is one of the most phoenominal places to visit for families, couples, children, the elderly, or even touring groups. …
Langkawi Island

Children’s Discovery Museum of the Desert
The Children’s Discovery Museum of the Desert is like a little hidden Gem. I understand from relatives in bigger cities that kids museum memberships cost in the hundreds for a family. In this day & age, who can afford that? The kids museum at Rancho Mirage …
Castillo de San Marcos
By far, the most historical attraction in St. Augustine, Florida, is the 17th century Spanish fort, Castillo de San Marcos (Castle of St. Mark to those unfamiliar with Spanish terminology). There is so much to see and do that you could visit the Castillo various times and never see …

Hickory Grove Road in Starkville, MS
I try to avoid traveling along this road when possible. It’s located somewhat outside the town of Starkville. You can take this route when traveling from Starkville, MS to Columbus but I wouldn’t recommend it. It’s located just off of the west ended of Highway 82 …
Star Tours, Hollywood Studios, WDW
Long before the name changed, Hollywood Studios (formally MGM Studios) was one of my favorite amusement parks to visit. And now, even after the name change, it still is. If there was only enough time to go on one ride at Hollywood Studios, I would pick Star Tours. Hands …

Ocean’s in Glass Hawaii Souvenirs

Monastery of the St Clares
The nuns at the Monastery of the St. Clares have been raising miniature horses for almost one hundred years. These miniature horses, which are about 3 feet tall, look just like full size horses in proportion and coloring.
