Hippies, murals & trams in San Francisco.
San Francisco is a facinating city & I believe its two most colourful neighbourhoods are Haight-Ashbury & Mission District, let me tell you why. One morning I went for a walk with Miriam, my partner in crime, around Mission District. It’s like a little Mexico. What made our mouths drop were the fabulous murals that […]
Chicago, the windy … & cold city.
I went for a walk that evening, it was very cold but not windy so I made the most of it. I love the blue colours that my camera captures at dusk. I started on Michigan Avenue, a main street part of the Magnificent Mile, the main commercial neighbourhood of the city. The Water Tower […]
Philadelphia, birthplace of the USA.
On the 4th of July, 1776 the Declaration of Independence was signed in the Independence Hall (before called Pennsylvania State House) in the city of Philadelphia, which meant the birth of a new nation, the USA. The entry is free but you’ll need a ticket if you want to do a tour, it can […]
Alcatraz. The Rock. San Francisco.
San Francisco bay is often covered by fog that is why I felt very happy when the sun appeared the day I was going to visit the famous prison-island of Alcatraz. I bought my ticket a month in advance as it’s a very popular attraction, although sometimes you can be lucky & get one in the […]
The Great Barrier of Reef that stole my heart.
I couldn’t decide about my next Australian destination. When I met Karen, whom I told you about on another post, she told me her experience in the Whitsundays & that helped me make up my mind! I had never been that close to the Great Barrier of Reef & wanted to see the biggest reef […]
Queensland. The Sunshine Coast & the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary.
Brisbane is in the Moreton Bay protected by an island of the same name but if you drive north, you’ll find the wild beaches of the Sunshine Coast. There we headed to with our vizslas, to walk & play on Peregian beach, virgin, wild, & with big waves, definitely stunning. We saw giant jellyfish, although the ones we really […]
Brisbane, the tropical Australia.
Here I am, still in my beloved Australia. This time in Brisbane, an hour on a plane north of Sydney where I arrived in a very hot summer day. My friend James came to give me a hug while I was disembarking before leaving to catch his flight & Andrew picked me up at arrivals, it was so […]
NOLA, New Orleans, Louisiana.
As promised I am back to continue telling you about my first experience in this city, the most populated in the state of Louisiana, south of the US. You’ll observe if you visit it that the use the acronym NOLA, linking the name of the city ,New Orleans & the name of the state, Louisiana. After a […]
New Orleans, the birthplace of jazz.
I arrived to New Orleans just before carnival, the celebrations of their famous Mardi Gras festival had already started. I got up early and decided to go for a walk, to see what I’d find at those early hours. I went to Canal Street with St. Peters where the Rock `n` Roll maratón was taking place, […]
The ways to Rome take us to the Vatican.
Rome doesn’t fit in one post, so here it is another one where I start asking you, what state do we find inside this beautiful city? Yes, the Vatican, keeper of so much art which would leave anyone dazzling & fascinated. In our visit, my mom & I decided to take the bus from Termini […]
