I think I had seen one or two of these Aussie Rhinos when I first landed in Sydney Australia just a week ago and might have thought back then that it was an interesting expression of art. As you might also know there are communities all about the world that are more and more…
The day started out with my dragging myself out of bed at the crack before dawn, getting something to eat while watching this enormous cruise ship glide into the Circle Key port just across the bay and then putting all my stuff together and making it to the rendezvous point in time to begin the…
It wasn’t strictly a farmers market per se. It certainly had all those qualities but most farmers markets that I know of occur more than once a month. I gathered then that this Australian style farmers market was more on the order of a local celebration of products. My friends here in Australia have insisted…
We flew EasyJet over to Berlin. I think this is the first time I have flown with them although I had explored taking a flight back to Edinburgh from Lisbon, Portugal back in October. I was at the front of the plane and so the experience was really not all that bad. The tall young…
So I am off on my next adventure circumnavigating at least some portion of the world. I arrived in Edinburgh almost a week ago now and as is often consistent with my trips to the UK the sun was out, the birds are singing and I shared with my friend Tonya that traveling here…
So, I am off on another adventure. Actually I’m a little slowing getting this up on the blog as I am really already here in Greece. My idea is to chronicle my adventure. After all it does make a little sense, right, since this is Travels with Jim. So this video is something I shot…

My dear friend Aileen has been traveling about the Northeast with her lovely mother Irene Rose O’Donoghue who is 91 years old. Yesterday we started out with a return trip to Baily’s Island where we went to Land’s End, not the clothing store, but a place on Bailey Island where the road ends just before…
I’m not sure if it was because it was just the half day tour or if was because a few of the other participants on the tour became lost from time to time, but the amount of time we were given to explore the Acropolis and Parthenon (ΠαÏθενών) was miniscule compared to the enormity…
