Ascending Cathedral Rock in Sedona
I awake refreshed at 8am. The dining room table downstairs is my office for an hour, Thunder Mountain is the backdrop. Breakfast on the patio at Heartline Cafe is lovely. I have the poached eggs on crab cakes with a red pepper bernaise. We pick up a little something for the trail across the street at ChocolaTree, AliSun indulges in …
Entering the Great Southwest
Leg three of our nomadic world tour begins in Orange County before the sun comes up. By 8:30am we pit-stop in Blythe, just west of the California-Arizona border. We push forward, detour to Jerome, sit at the counter at Quince. That’s Spanish for 15 for you gringos. The waitress can’t hide her disappointment when we decline margaritas twice. The old …

Accessible only by sea or five miles down a broken dirt road, La Picazon is a Mexican seafood restaurant located about five miles North of town across from Coronado Island, perched above a rocky, uneasy coast and framed by …
Art on the Road…inspired by the waters…and the flow of Baja…
What inspires me most about creating art “on the road,” is the opportunity of being creative in new ways using the basic tools that I have. I have a beautiful sketchpad, a small set of acrylic paints, ebony pencils, erasers, canvas paper, a compact digital camera and my newest creative tool, the ipad. And while I complain at times about …
El Corazón – the Exceptional Coffeehouse of Loreto Bay
An exceptional coffeehouse is greater than the sum of its parts. Vibe is a potion, not altogether equal parts talented barista, downtempo music, comfy chairs, provocative art, tasty treats, healthy lunches, clean bathroom, and yes, well-brewed coffee. The exceptional coffeehouse can be a calm respite in a bustling city, a lively gathering in a dusty village, a swarm of friends …
An authentic Cinco de Mayo celebration…
Walking through the historic town of Loreto, Mexico, Tyler and I come across a flier for a Cinco de Mayo celebration. An image of a beautiful woman in traditional mexican dress adorns the sign. As I move closer to get a better look at the details, I spontaneously feel a spiraling sensation moving throughout my body. My feet melting into …
