Traveling alone, not lonely.

Wordless Wednesday: Thanksgiving in Mexico

Thanksgiving in Tlaquepaque, Mexico, 2008

Thanksgiving this year was the first time in three years I celebrated the American holiday in the United States. Last year was Mexico – Tlaquepaque (outside Guadalajara) to be exact and in 2007 was Italy (Florence). Enjoy these two-for-one margaritas from the Quinta Don Jose.** I sure enjoyed them!

Visiting the Flight 93 National Memorial with My Dog

Driving through Western Pennsylvania’s rolling farmland, I held back tears thinking of the afternoon’s destination, the Flight 93 National Memorial. Almost 20 years later, the thoughts of the tragic events of September 11, 2001, still trigger deep emotions.
