San Francisco’s Wealth Of Architectural Detail
If you happen to be an architecture buff or just love architectural history, then San Francisco is certainly a must visit kind of place. I’ll admit I lived in San Francisco for a few years, but never quite realized the richness of design and detail seen with so many of the historic buildings. It also may be that Market street, the home to many historic buildings was either to seedy to venture on, or too crowded to allow pausing to take a look. On our visit the downtown looked like a Sunday (empty) on a weekday due to the Pandemic, and that may have allowed me to take that closer…

A Golden Gate Bridge Adventure Atop The Hop On Hop Off Bus
I’ve shared with you many of the iconic San Francisco landmarks that we enjoyed from the double decker hop-on hop-off bus, but now drum roll, for the most memorable part! Who knew that a ride across the Golden Gate Bridge atop the double decker hop-on hop-off bus would also be a thriller? And if you have teens who prefer those kinds of things, well, it is a win win! Of course if you don’t like to suffer, you can certainly descend into the bus and let the rest of the group scream as they freeze to death, but what fun would that be? Come prepared with a hood/hat and ample…

Hello Prague: The Stunning Views From Petrin Tower
Continuing my tales of 9 glorious days in Prague a full year plus ago, introducing the tiny Eiffel Tower replica called the Petrin Tower. Prague is a city with red roof tops and architectural delights galore, not to mention a winding river that runs right through it, so views of the city are stunning, and Petrin Tower is yet another amazing place to enjoy those views, don’t miss it! We actually walked to Petrin Tower from the Prague Castle, but if you want to do that first check out the distances, as the rest of my travel group were not all that happy with me for shlepping them by foot.…

Hello Prague: A Walk On The Ancient Castle Walls In Vysrehard
When in Prague, and I do hope you’ll have the chance to visit sometime OFF SEASON, make sure to get away from the tourist packed Old Town and experience the tranquil beauty of the city at large. My number one recommendation for that is a visit to Vysehrad! (Even the name sounds enchanting, and it is!) Vyšehrad (Czech for “upper castle”) is a historic fort in Prague, Czech Republic, just over 3 km southeast of Prague Castle, and on the east bank of the Vltava River, on a rocky promontory above the river. It was probably built in the 10th century, around 990 AD, though the most glorious period of…
