The elders of nearby Spencer’s Island, birth place of the ghost ship Mary Celeste, tell tales of a bottomless pond on the eastern end of the island in whose depths one can see the eerie silhouette of the Celeste under full sail when the light is just right.
War and Peace (with apologies to Leo Tolstoy)
Balance. That’s the word that sprang to mind while crossing the demilitarised zone (DMZ), the heavily fortified buffer either side of the infamous 38th parallel, the pivotal line between war and peace shared by North and South Korea for more than 50 years.
UNL Students Form Bonds with Achuar Children
“Welcome to Ecuador,” I announced to 11 people as they walked through the door of the customs area in the Quito airport. For several years, I have been asked if I would ever lead a trip abroad. This idea has held limited appeal; I like the freedom to move.
The Magdalen Islands: Funky Etang-du-Nord
A five hour ferry ride from Souris, Prince Edward Island, the Magdalens are an accessible “exotic” paradise that appears on few English speakers’ radar…but should!
Cape Cod Bucket List
It’s funny what goes through a photographer’s mind when he approaches his final photo location of the day; what lens to choose, what camera settings to pick, what composition to start with, will the weather hold up, will this be the day I waited so long for, will I become a feast for the mosquitoes.
Vienna: My ramblings through an inspirational city
I’ve visited Vienna four times and each time the experience gets better. A city rich in culture it is the venue for 1,500 classical music events a year. And what can I say about its over 100 museums, live theatres and opera houses other then fantastic.
The Magic of the Magdalens-Havre-sur-Mer
Lose yourself on an exotic island where the sound of the surf lulls you to sleep, ocean breezes cleanse the senses and worries and cares seem a million miles away.
Noel Gallagher Is My Travel Agent
My story begins 10 years ago when I became an active member of an Oasis (the band) fan-run Internet community, called OasisFanatic. It brought thousands of members from various national, cultural and language backgrounds together into a micro-global village.
Budapest: I Keep Coming Back
I love Budapest; it’s drawn me back for a third visit, this time with my wife and son. While it’s one of the great cities of central Europe there is something different about it, possibly the Hungarian language that isn’t related to any of Europe’s three main language groups, Germanic, Latin or Slavic which has resulted in culture that sets it apart.
Days at the Races
Thermopylae had its 300, Indianapolis has its 500. And the latter is still going strong. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway hosts the world’s most watched single day sporting event, the Indy 500 but the “Brickyard” as it is affectionately known, also hosts NASCAR, Moto GP, and Grand Prix races.
