My sister N’ku and I arrive in Amsterdam early on a Sunday morning and take bus 197 from the airport to Leidseplein where our AirBnB apartment is located. After a refresher nap, we decide to take in the sights. We walk to The National Monument in Dam Square to join the Sandeman Amsterdam Free Tour. […]
The Italian and his A-1 sauce
It had been a busy couple weeks and I had packed last minute for my Amsterdam trip, had not eaten and thus arrived at the airport starving.

Cherry Blossoms in Philadelphia
For years I’ve been meaning to travel to Washington DC to see the cherry blossoms. For years, I have missed the opportunity. This year is going to be one of those years.

Whenever I’m shown the glory of this universe I realize how lucky I am to be afforded the opportunity to share in it. Imagine that someone else somewhere else on […]
Recuperating in Boston
Afternoon Tea @ the Taj The last several months have not been going according to schedule at all. There was supposed to be a light at the end of the tunnel – a blueprint of sorts for the grand escape and so far all I have is disappointment. To make matters worse, the work-place is […]
Un-Belize-able!
Saturday, we woke up at about 7am to bright sunshine. Bright sunshine. Of course. The day we plan to leave Belize will be the day of bright sunshiny hot weather. Caye Caulker was alive with life. Where were all these people the day before? Our flight was not until the afternoon so we enjoyed a […]
