Time for desert

I hope you did read it right. It’s time for desert and not dessert. Although I must admit desserts are far more tasty. We are now far from Mt Rushmore, in the state of Utah – officially nicknamed as the Beehive state. In order to get there we had to cross the great natural barrier …

Heads of state

No, this is not the headlines of another boring politicians’ meeting in on of the world’s posh resorts. It means rather that it is about time to see the next monument!! I think many of you have heard about this one (as opposed to the Crazy Horse). The heads of state – it is the …

We are not moving far from the badlands. Just a stone’s throw away are the Black Hills – a mountain range that pops up in the middle of nowhere just to distort the otherwise flat land of the Great Plains of the American Midwest. These terrains are and have been for ages considered sacred for …

♪♫ New York, New York ♫

The Big Apple was usually the first glimpse of the new world for the migrants from Europe. People were deciding to leave their home countries and head into the unknown for various reasons: political, religious, financial and possibly others.

Time for Amsterdam!!!

How did you like the big city of Manila? I hope you did at least a little bit because we are hopping to another one – Amsterdam! Wait, did I say Amsterdam? What I meant was: New Amsterdam. What the heck is that? – you may ask. Maybe it’s somewhere around Amsterdam proper. Or maybe …
