Hi Folks! This is Real Madrid C.F.’s mythical stadium and a glimpse of Madrid’s skyline. Santiago Bernabéu is the place where legends are born and dreams are shattered. The cylinder shaped tower attached to the stadium is actually a silo used to store CR7’s hair gel. I still remember the first match on the stadium back in 1947 like it was yesterday. There was […]
Hi Folks! Tallinn is one of the most exciting capitals in Baltia, right after Riga and Vilna. And this grey tower is the landmark of the Old Town. It’s called Fat Margaret. Poor Margaret, she would have deserved a nicer building to carry her name. Just kidding folks. Tallinn is fantastic! The town has a fascinating history as it’s been […]
Hi Folks! I sang, “As I was goin’ over the Cork and Kerry mountains. I saw Captain Farrell and his money he was countin’.., ” when I hiked over the Wicklow Mountains along the Cliff Walk from Bray to Greystone (Bray Head). And suddenly I tumbled over the Europe’s First geocache (GC43; 53d 11.478′ N, 6d 04.818′ […]
Hi Folks, I really hate it when I get sand in my beard. The best way to get sand out of beard is to avoid getting it in the beard in the first place. In my experience, art museums may be the most convenient places to enjoy beaches. And you simply cannot argue with me if you have seen Esko Tirronen’s Beach […]

If you are in the Mount Gambier region surely you will find some time to visit this lovely garden. […]
Hi Folks, This is The Dance of Life, a fine painting by Edvard Munch. Edvard was my good personal friend through his adult life. He was not quite that cheerful fella but had some tendencies into depression. Edvard’s art represents the finest expressionism there was. However, he’s work for women’s equality is not that well known. Interestingly Madonna, […]
Hi Folks, This is a cool place. No wonder though, it’s by the Southern Ocean and the breeze from Antarctica is rather cool. If you just happen to be cruising the Great Ocean Road, you might want to slow down around here. The rock stacks are soft lime stone formed by erosion. There’s only eight remaining of […]
Hi Folks, Please let me introduce you to the giant rabbit, my friend, Cosmo McMurtry. They say that immigration causes a lot of controversy in New Zealand. Rabbits are treated as if they were second class citizens. So, Cosmo took off and tours the world. As you may rememenber, I tried to visit Cosmo in Detroit […]
Hi Folks, I know, the photo is not the best of them all but my fingers were frozen like Fish Sticks and I could not operate the campera properly. I’ve got two things to tell you folks about San Francisco: Do not call it Frisco or Summer (especially in November). It’s about time to find some place warm […]
