Here is a place for my travelogues, now being updated with my May 2011 expedition, From the Gardens of Seville .... The blog title comes from a favorite puzzle: You are a photographer. You leave your base camp and walk one mile South. Nothing. So you change direction and walk one mile West. Here you see a family of bears. You take lots of pictures. Finally, your memory card full, you walk one mile North and you are back where you started from, at your base camp! What color were the bears?

Landmark Sites



Here are the cities visited on the June 2009 Landmark Sites of the Western Mediterranean cruise aboard the Corinthian II sponsored by the American Museum of Natural History. This map is from the trip brochure.

Florence, Italy.
Nice and Saint Paul de Vence, France.
Bonifacio, Corsica, France.
Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy.
Tunis and Carthage, Tunisia.
Trapani and Erice, Sicily, Italy.


Here is my photo of the Corinthian II in among the limestone cliffs of Bonifacio. What a fantastic voyage! (By the way, I see that if you click on the image you get a very enlarged version.)


Note. Any picture in this blog for which a source is not specified is one that I have taken.
