SherriFor me, eating is always a huge part of travel or life for that matter. It is very important to me to connect with the people serving fresh and local food. Whether one is traveling on a budget or traveling in luxury, they can (and should, IMHO) make a point of sampling the local cuisine.

SherriWhat can I say? Part of what makes Latin America so charming is the way that music is infused into the culture. Whether you are strolling down an alley, meandering on the malecón, or sitting on the beach – music is never far away.

SherriThe appeal of Zihuatanejo is undoubtedly the beaches. Of course, the geography gives rise to the food and shapes the people and the culture, so it’s hard to separate them all (the way I am attempting to do when writing about my trip). But still, at the end of the day,

SherriAt the end of the day, the magic of travel is about the people. It’s arguable, since certain styles of travel are scenery and geography based – but that aside, it’s all about the people.

SherriI woke up early and wanted to do laundry so I didn’t get to the village of Barra de Potosi, my next destination, with sandy items filling my backpack.

SherriWell, I am back at the Captain Cook Hotel and feeling totally exhilarated from a day trip to the Kenai Penninsula. When I was in Alaska two years ago, my trip was primarily on the Kenai and when I think back to the brilliant and majestic turquoise river,

SherriIt’s 10am and I am watching the sun peek over the Chugach Mountains. It’s a sight I could get used to, this is for sure. Dan wanted to go for a vigorous morning walk and I am catching up on blogging. Always a challenge to write when traveling, as there is more adventuring to be had.

SherriWell, it’s our last night at the regal Captain Cook hotel. The Anchorage component of the Alaskan adventure is drawing to a close. It’s been fun, but as with travel and with life, we must be moving on. We started our day by hitting the Athletic Club to get some real exercise in.
