Early last spring, we visited Santa Maria Valley. This is a beautiful, under-the-radar wine region on the Central Coast of California.
The best part, because we went during the off season, it was uncrowded.

On our recent visit to Australia, friends and strangers alike asked us what we thought of Trump. And then they told us what they thought and it wasn’t good. Found in a back alley in a Sydney suburb, here is a mural that sums up what Australians think of Trump. #trumpsucks #australia

Bali is home to several temples and sacred sites. To understand the deep spirituality of this island, it’s important to visit at least a few. At Tanah Lot, one of Bali’s most popular temples, you have to wade through the ocean water to get to this ancient shrine on a rock. #Bali #TanahLot
