Bob Cage Sculpture Farm

Deana Bianco | December 26th, 2007

Driving through southern Virginia, we came across the small town of South Boston and local artist Bob Cage who has a sculpture farm that visitors can walk around and interact with. My favorite part of the whole thing were the shy herd of goats that were keeping their distance, the rustic log cabin and [...]

Brazil’s Discovery Coast lies in southern Bahia, whose coastline and beaches are some of the most beautiful in Brazil. This is where the Portuguese first landed in the 16th century, and the depth of the history of the land and sea is tangible. Everywhere we went stirred [...]

A Coruña

Jamie McLellan | December 16th, 2007

Flights to see a good friend who recently relocated to Spain cost myself and another friend 80p each plus tax on Ryanair. With tickets costing less that the price of offsetting our carbon footprint, how could we not go?
Flying into Santiago de Compostela, we hired a zippy little BMW that nearly killed us the following [...]

Nascar

Deana Bianco | December 6th, 2007

This year a friend talked me into going to America’s favorite sport NASCAR. Now I know, a bunch of cars going around in a circle round and round for 500 laps doesn’t sound so appealing but it was an excuse to take a road trip down to southern Virginia and experience the hospitality of [...]

Barcelona

Jamie McLellan | December 4th, 2007

Barcelona offered a colourful break away from the monotones of an English winter. The food & wine was of course fantastic (a favourite tapas spot being Carmelitas just off Los Ramblas), and Gaudi’s architecture offered a refreshing break from the seemingly endless number of Romanesque, Gothic, Rennaisance and Baroque cathedrals seen in so many other [...]
