The Ghost Town Picture Series — Part 1
Ghost TownMy last travel series, which took almost a year to present to you, wore me down a bit. And since that trip, we’ve done even more extensive traveling — Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, India, Prague, back to Cape Town, another cruise up the west coast of Africa and to Saint Helena, and a return to Luxor. Those destinations were over two months-long trips, and I’ll be presenting those to you in the future. As for now, I need a break. So, for the next five weeks I’m going to ...

But before I get to those, I may have ...

We were accompanied on this little excursion by my bridge partner aboard NCL Dawn, so we had a three-way share of delights. If you’re going to pin me down as to the particular pastry shop, I’ll tell you that I believe it was Café Palmelita (Google rating 4.2 out of 6,117 reviews). I’ll begin by showing you the display case of goodies that awaited ...
