Up until a week ago, give it a little more, little less, things were fine. We were talking week-end barbecues, walks on the beach, a night out to a nice Salsa bar. You know- warm weather, sunny days ...
I’ve always loved a good color on my nails. These are from OPI, my absolute favorite in nail polish, although i’m looking at Illamasqua for my green fix for the season. Sad truth- i can o...
In Spring and in Autumn, some 1500 species of birds migrate, the phenomenon of which seems to have left mankind perplexed for thousands of years. At one point in time, science held the belief that bi...
If you’re anywhere near Holland this weekend and looking for a party, put on your orange shirt and make sure to head to the Queen’s Day celebrations held throughout the country. The festi...
Some days you just want to roll up your sleeves and go. So pull out the walking shoes; dust off the bike; pack the car trunk and lock the house. It’s time you went, saw and conquered those pl...

We woke up thinking we’d take the bikes and ride to Porto Garibaldi some 6 kms away, just because it’s our last free weekend for the season. Instead, still bundled in bed, we heard the te...
Waiting to bloom Ah, summer! How quickly i forget that summer isn’t really summer, not when you’re working April to September (or the months in between) but a slideshow of the same phenom...
Who will it be? It all began with a debate at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. in 1998 with 6 panel participants; then-managing editor Walter Isaacson published the list in 1999, naming the 100 ...
The day started with two hits of the snooze button at 6am, followed by a mad scramble to get dressed, recover the camera, identity cards, cellphone and wallets before rushing to the train station. By...
