One of our recent The Traveling Eye shows was on “Spiritual Travel.”  I find that when I travel there is always a space in time to connect.  When I am at a place near the ocean I like to, at the beginning of my stay, spend some time on the beach and think about all...

I’ve returned home and now I’m reminiscing.  Memory lane is a fantastic destination and one of the biggest joys of traveling. This trip, I rediscovered Paris and visited cities I had never been to before.  It’s been at least 15 years since I’ve been to Paris and a lot has changed while some of the basics remained...

This tour gets better by the day!  Just finished a stellar day in Cognac, France. About one and one half hour drive south of Bordeaux is the small city of Cognac.  The French country side is gorgeous!  Yellow flowers, blossoming trees, farmhouses and fields.  I see most of it when my eyes are open and...

Bonjour, It’s day 3 in Paris.  My luggage finally arrived at 1am. Yesterday, we went to the Louvre. I’ll tell you about that on another post but today we have to talk about our trip to Reims, pronounced urais not reems.  All I know is that we went to the Champagne region.  And yes, Today was a good...

I just arrived in Paris. Instead of going to the hotel we take our city orientation tour and then to the Eiffel Tower. It’s a a bit colder than expected but it’s OK because it’s Paris.  The sun is peaking out from time to time and provides a bit of warmth.  It’s a bit windy standing...

It’s Sunday, and more then anything else, this is family day at the beach for those who call Salvador home. That means a mixture of the richer hue that makes up Brazil. By richer, I mean in melanin, because Brazil is definitely not a “melting pot” no more then the US is. Brazil is a...

I arrive on a Tuesday. Stressed out from my economy seat and not so consumerable meal.  I checked in to my hotel and went to sleep for a few. You do this because on Tuesday night, we follow the beat of the drums to Pelourinho, the old section of Salvador, Bahia in Brazil.  Highways and...

I could not get into my blog from Israel so I was unable to blog each day.  I will start as if I am starting my trip so you can journey with me. I never really thought about Israel because I saw it only as the Holyland.  Nothing against the Holyland but I wanted more...

Oh my goodness! It’s that time of year again.  Time for a soliloquy. I like soliloquy rather than resolution because I reflect before I resolve.Where have I been?  What have I learned?  What do I want and/or need to change?Hmmmm, let me think…….I’ve been to Egypt, Dubai, Croatia, Sheboygan, South Africa, Aruba, Brazil,  Denmark.What I’ve...
