The New York State Capitol in Albany

Most of my plans were messed up yesterday.  I drove from Saratoga Springs to Albany to check out the architecture at the New York State Capitol building. I had picked out my parking place ahead of time, but it’s very … Continue reading

Martha’s Vineyard

Yesterday, I took the 7:15am – 45 minute ferry from Woods Hole Terminal, Falmouth, MA to Vineyard Haven, Martha’s Vineyard. I had reserved an E-Bike, but canceled it a week ago because their cancellation policy would only refund 50% if … Continue reading

Breakers Mansion, Cliff Walk, and Ocean Drive, Newport, Rhode Island

Yesterday was a full day! I’m staying three nights in Provincetown, Massachusetts, but went sight-seeing on the way. My first stop was the Vanderbilt Breakers Mansion in Newport, Rhode Island.  The mansion is huge, but I’ve seen grander places. I’m … Continue reading

Natural Bridge State Park, Virginia and self-guided walking tour of Annapolis, Maryland

Yesterday, I left my Roanoke Airbnb and drove to Natural Bridge State Park in Virginia to hike the two mile Cedar Creek Trail. I arrived a few minutes before they opened at 8:00 a.m. The $9 entry fee was worth … Continue reading

Old San Juan, Puerto Rico self guided walking tour

I created a three mile self-guided walking tour of Old San Juan. I’m not a big fan of organized tours. Sometimes they’ll talk too much about things I’m not interested in and my back hurts if I stand for more … Continue reading

Old Quebec, Montmorency Falls, and Île d’Orléans

I left my Airbnb at 7:00 a.m. this morning and drove less than 15 minutes to Old Quebec. I had a pre-planned walking route, which I didn’t really follow.  Since it’s Saturday there weren’t many people out yet. I explored … Continue reading

Guillermo Tovar de Teresa Museum and Skulls & Art Exhibition in Mexico City

On my quest to see as many museums as possible (within reason-there are 150) here in Mexico City, a few days ago I cycled one mile to the Guillermo Tovar de Teresa Museum. It’s very small, but the entry is … Continue reading

Airbnb Experience: Sights, smells and tastes of Puebla on two wheels

Yesterday’s Airbnb experience: Sights, smells and tastes of Puebla on two wheels was okay. There were four other people on the tour, grandparents with a 12 and 9-year-old. The bicycles were a bit wobbly, with no gears, and initially there was a lot of time spent adjusting the seats for the children and also myself. My seat wasn’t able to be adjusted high enough. The two tour leaders were very accommodating and sweet. The pedal came off of one of the participant’s bicycle, photo below.

We made a number of food/drink stops. I wasn’t feeling well, Montezuma’s revenge, ugh, so I ate part of each meal. I forgot to take photos of the last two food stops, one of which was churros. I had them make it “to go” for me and had it for dinner.

A few of the sites we saw…

The walk back to my Airbnb, after the tour ended, was only 7 minutes. I took a 3 hour nap. I’m feeling about the same today, I have some Cipro at the Airbnb in Mexico City so I will take it when I get back today.

Museo Nacional De Arte (MUNAL)

The third museum I visited today was Museo Nacional De Arte (MUNAL). The architecture of the building itself is amazing! It’s a large museum and I kept getting lost, haha. I love color, and these were some of my favorite … Continue reading

San Miguel de Allende 2nd day itinerary

I Left my Airbnb at 8:30 a.m., headed to a nearby restaurant for breakfast. Although their opening time was listed as 8:00 a.m., when I arrived they said not until 9:15 a.m. so I walked a few minutes to a … Continue reading
