I have friends all over the world. Some of them move from time to time a lot like Americans might move from Maine to Florida for the winter months. And a lot of them now either have families and/or collections of stuff that they’d rather not part with. So moving from one place to another…
Yesterday I happened to be out at Fort Williams Park where there is The Portland Head Light. I had intended to do a live video while I was standing there in front of one of the most visited and photographed lighthouses but alas Facebook sent me a message that I couldn’t do that because I…
Heathrow Airport is the largest airport in the United Kingdom in London and is a major hub for all sorts of international and domestic English travelers.

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…
