Findhorn Adventure…
Findhorn is a wonderful, magical place on Earth. Rich with vegetation, flowers and trees that spread naturally for several miles by the sea, one cannot help but be intoxicated and altered by its beauty. What once was a land largely of sand dunes, is now an oasis, rich in soil, character and extraordinary beauty. The Findhorn Foundation has created a …
Arriving in the Land of the Scots
I awake as the plane dips below the cloud layer above Aberdeen. Rows of stone houses, housing projects and industrial buildings tuck amid green trees and greener fields. Four large shipping vessels are docked off the shore, no port or pier in sight. Low, rolling hills surround Aberdeen Airport. The air is crisp and cold as we descend the steps, …
London Emerging
Finally we sleep in, still massively jet-lagged, rousing at three in the afternoon to enjoy Covent Garden, Apple Market, Chinatown, Brick Lane and Banglitown. We take a taxi to Brick Lane, walking past a dozen Bangladeshi restaurants, then down a side street. A neon sign boasts “Chef of the Year.” As we approach, we realize we took the bait. A …
London Calling
We lock, doors, close shades, power down, say goodbye to Ojai until December. A quick lunch at Whole Foods in Venice, then evan drops us off at LAX Terminal B. The British Airways flight at the front of Coach is unremarkable, due in part to the Russian girl on the window who keeps her shade down from take-off through landing …
Great Travel Mistakes In History: The Schengen Zone
Skype chat with Chris early Sunday morning. He and Pausha moved to France two months ago, and he has discovered that he may have to work through a visa limitation ahead of his planned trip back to the States. His cloud on the horizon stems from the Schengen Zone restrictions. Schengen Zone? Shit, i haven’t looked into this at all, …
Gratitude for Loreto Bay…a sunset walk…
Appreciating and soaking in the beauty of Loreto Bay as we begin our departure from our wonderful adventure, here in Baja…I feel rejuvinated, with my heart wide open, feeling deeply nourished and cleansed by Mother Ocean. Thank You to all the sea beings, nature spirits, the land and wonderful people that we have met along the way here in Baja …
Crazy Octopus at La Picazon, Loreto, Baja Mexico
The invitation comes mid-day, do we want to drive into Loreto, charter a boat and dine at the legendary La Picazon? 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 …
