I spent the 4th anniversary of my 28th birthday ziplining with Aerial Trek in the middle of Barbados. My reservation was at noon and I was to find my own way there – to Jack-in-the-Box Gully. I thought it would be easy peasy, but I was wrong. What is a gully anyway? The owner of […]
Crabs on the rocks
The first thing I noticed when I wandered onto Dover Beach the other day were the holes in the sand. Ok, that’s a lie. The actual first thing was the clear blue sea, then the sandy white beach. But the holes in the sand immediately caught my eye. They reminded me of crab holes in […]
Jammin’ n cruising
I had booked a catamaran cruise with Jammin’, specifically their Sun Blast cruise. It seemed it would be a fun cruise from their website. However, the owner of the apartment I was staying in told me that it was usually crowded (hence it’s name ha ha) and that I should have gone with Cool Runnings […]
Initial thoughts in Barbados
I woke up at an ungodly hour to fly out of DC to make my connection flight in Miami to Bridgetown, Barbados. Needless to say, I spent a significant amount of time on the plane catching up on sleep. But I did wake up now and then to take these beautiful shots. It took me […]
Woah! I’m going to Barbados!
This year I have decided to tolerate the cold and snow by enjoying it. Im taking snowboarding lessons and whilst i have fallen on my bum and gnashed my teeth more often than I can count, I’ve had fun. I’ve even indulged in bison burgers in my bid to try new things. However, I refuse […]
Mount Entoto, Menelik Museum & Maryam Church
Waking up Saturday was quite painful. I dreamt of balls hitting the crossbar and Asamoah Gyan crying his heart out. He certainly gained sympathy points for that one. We are all still in shock, to say the least. My father has decided to take me to Entoto Mountain to make up for my being shacked […]
Ethiopia revisited
I don’t really remember much of my previous two week visit to Ethiopia in 2006 except for the fact that I spent it mostly in Addis Ababa. I had already prepared myself for this trip as one to visit my father and to relax, so no sightseeing nor partying for me. Daddy returned to Ethiopia […]
Bye South Africa, Hello Ethiopia
Many of the boys were leaving Sunday. Those that remained had a very lazy day. 007 and 008 (formerly known as Bond girl) and I went around visiting friends and family of 007. This took us to Soweto where we tried to visit with a friend married to one of Nelson Mandela’s grand-daughters. Unfortunately, the […]
Chillin’ in Joberg
Thursday after the Ghana – Germany game, we woke up late and decided to meet up with my namesake in Montecasino. We had a nice outdoor lunch at Ciao Baby Cucina. The sun was blazing hot. Really nice. Even though namesake, 007 and myself went to the same junior high, namesake realized there that she […]
Trip Jitters – Smooth Sailing to Joberg
I refuse to rant about Delta today. There was a lot of hurry-up and wait as each leg of my three part trip was delayed. However, I slept well on the 16 hour leg from Atlanta to Johannesburg. I can’t say the same for the traveler in the aisle seat as our co-traveler in the […]
A lover of mangoes. A woman - smart, without pretense, lefthanded, Afropolitan - navigating this thing called life. An unapologetic believer in social justice and karma. Choosing to radiate positive energy and be true to myself. Here, my musings.
