Mexico. Finally.

So close, and yet so far. Mexico. Yep . . . like everyone else I’ve been to Cancun and Cozumel for the family vacation thing, scuba diving, margaritas, etc., etc. But finally I’ve gotten the chance to experience the real Mexico.

Back to Napoli…

I’m in Naples again because I just can’t seem to stay away. The energy here is frenetic. It pulses through you.

A Stairway to Heaven

The HELICOIDAL STAIRCASE at Palazzo Barberini by Francesco Borromini –    Rome is a city that keeps on giving. After more than a dozen visits over the last 25 years, I can attest to this as I have never, ever run out of things to discover in the Caput Mundi.  It is a city of…
