Open Road

Music blaring through flying air, purpose and destination, a winning combination.

When the pressure of life exceeds the speed limit —yet there is no ticket in sight. Shortcuts are not always shorter.

Independence Pass

A twisted road with perilous curves carves its way over the Continental Divide. Pausing at the top to take a deep breath of crisp pure air, then the ascent to the town of Twin Lakes... if you have the means I highly recommend the journey.

Aerial

A snapshot of my window view leaving the gorgeous Yucatan. Capturing a moment in time through my iPhone lens. Who would have thought almost anyone could take an aerial photograph? Technology and worldwide travel have provided us an opportunity to take such images through various platforms including fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, balloons, blimps, rockets, kites, and parachutes. Cool!

Passages

Hidden or secret tunnels used for stealthy travel are no novelty. Such passageways have allowed occupants to enter or exit buildings without being seen, helping people evade capture, smuggle goods, or carry out illegal activities. If disappearing behind a faux mirrored door is illegal---I’m guilty!

Light It Up

Upon requesting their best tequila our waiter suggested we start with the tasty tourista appetizer of tortillas and burnt queso. Many cocktails later we were almost tempted to light up a cigar from this statue’s generous flame. Mexico at it’s finest...tourista finest that is.

La Parrilla

Located on Av Yaxchilan 51 in Cancun Mexico, La Parilla was a daily favorite for us while on our honeymoon. Look---I’m drinking a cocktail with ice in it and bonus---I didn’t even get sick. Beer in a bottle is always a good choice for the faint of heart. I don’t know which was better, the server who could balance four giganta-daiquiris on their head, or the Mariachi Band that is so powerful the trumpet player has to stand 30 feet back to get the correct sound.
