ROUTE LIRES – FARO FISTERRA
FRIDAY, MAY 30
In this path of unique natural diversity this last stage could not be missed. From Lires to Fisterra a succession of imposing cliffs and pristine beaches are emerging one after another on a hard coast, where stories continue to appear at each point such as the Cason, a shipwreck that caused a massive exodus of the entire region. Unique landscapes that will bring us closer to the Faro de Fisterra, the culmination of this adventure and the end of Lighthouse Way, a trail that will take you a long time to forget.

Make your reservation for the GWF Camiño dos Faros Program
This last stage of our Camiño dos Faros begins in Lires, a village with a lot of charm and already accustomed to the pilgrim, which passes between granaries and restored cottages with pleasure. The offer of accommodation is wide and varied, so we recommend you to spend a few days.
Lires was always the example of common work, a neighborhood that already demonstrated that union in the late 60s, as this old documentary shows, in which you see the entire process performed for the installation of water. In Lires we find some of the first rural houses in Spain. Casa Lourido and Casa Raúl, which continue to this day, joined in 1968 the program of the Ministry of Tourism called Holidays in Farm Houses, the germ of the current rural tourism.
The Church of San Estevo was built in the seventeenth century on the remains of a previous one, closer to the estuary. From the bridge leaves the Camino de Santiago on the left, but we continue along O Camiño dos Faros, through the cemetery on the right to discover this natural paradise: the Lires Estuary.
The Estuary of Lires is the smallest in Galicia and is formed at the mouth of the Castro River on Nemiña Beach. From the bridge we begin the comfortable walk through this natural paradise, among the shadows of the trees that grow on its banks. Upon arriving at the fish farm, these small streams join the Castro River, more abundant, to form the estuary. This environment is the perfect habitat for a good number of birds, especially seagulls, cormorants and herons, who find easy food among the remains that turn to the sea, in addition to having a quiet environment and far from the presence of man.
The tides are modifying the landscape totally twice a day, and every time we pass our sensations are different. Thus we arrive at Lires Beach, a small and quiet sandy area that forms on this side of the estuary. See if it is small that at the mouth you can cross in summer at low tide with water by the ankles. The whole complex seen from there is one of the best views of this Camiño dos Faros: the Nemiña Beach, with its thousand faces, the large dune covered with vegetation and the entire mouth, which also moves from year to year. Find your corner and fill your senses …
From Lires Beach to Rostro Beach, O Camiño dos Faros enters a section through which we will see the coast of Canosa, formerly called Ribeira de Calvoa, from all perspectives, with the cliffs of Punta Lagoa and Mexadoira as main protagonists. It is a complicated stretch of the trail, do not get into strong wind or rain conditions, but look closely at the arrows and you will not have any problems.
It’s amazing … and very difficult to describe. The cliffs fall vertically on a base of rocks that, with the sea breaking and the red granite rock, confer a very peculiar landscape. At the end of the cliff, a stream that descends from the mountain falls on the round stones of the coast, forming a small waterfall. Be careful and do not get too close to the edge or go down to take the picture of the waterfall, because all these rocks are very slippery and it is very difficult to hold the balance. When we arrive and turn around, it is when we really admire, without any danger, all the beauty of this place. Again a unique wild section of Camiño dos Faros … and unknown to most.
We leave Mexadoira and we see the immensity of Rostro Beach, another wild wonder of this Death Coast. An ode to the sea, saltpeter and pure air … a complete luxury for the senses in these almost two kilometers of beach. Open to the Atlantic Ocean, the constant wind that hits there during a good part of the year has formed an extensive dune system, with important heights and full of vegetation, which at some times of the year gives it a color that covers everything.
We cross the almost two kilometers of Rostro Beach along the seashore, without hurry and enjoying every step of paradise that we have so close. Listen to the noise of this sea that in few places you will hear roar as it does here … O Camiño dos Faros, a sensation at every step.
We climb the beach and the panoramic view from Rostro Point is impressive. We have to be careful not to get too close and we will contemplate this wonder in all its splendor: cliffs that plummet towards the ocean, with Punta Castelo in the background, looking defiant. Right here, in the midst of this explosion of life, there was one of the events that changed the life of a whole region for a few days. On the morning of December 5, 1987, the Panamanian flag ship Casón was sailing 15 miles from Fisterra with 31 crew, all of Chinese nationality, with a cocktail load of 1100 tons of flammable, toxic and corrosive chemicals bound for Shanghai. In the middle of a strong storm, it suffers a movement of the storage material that causes a serious fire on board.
The captain, the only connoisseur of the actual cargo, orders to leave the ship. In the midst of smoke and toxic gases many are thrown into the sea, all before remaining in that floating hell. The rescue means only rescue 8 of their crew alive. From there, the most varied hypotheses about the ship’s cargo arise and the concern begins to spread in the people until, on the afternoon of December 10 and broadcast live on television, the cargo spilled into the sea causes contact explosions with the water and the ship, in the middle of a cloud of smoke, it seems that it will explode from one moment to the next. This definitely alarms the population, already uneasy due to the lack of coordination and the contradictory information of authorities and media. There is a massive escape by their own means of neighbors who escape in terror towards more distant and safe populations.
At the summit of Castelo Point and entering the sea, we find another vestige of history many centuries ago, nothing less than the Iron Age: Castro de Castromiñán. When we are approaching, we distinguish perfectly under the bushes of gorse the two walls that surround it. At first glance it seems to us an inhospitable place but, as in all the castros, the location is not accidental, taking advantage of the water of several springs that arise there. Our ancestors managed to create an artificial tower in the highest part to protect themselves from the colder winds. From the heights they could control everything without being seen and, surrounded by cliffs, they didn’t need any other defense.
Next to it, Gavioteira Point, another challenging cliff. Its name does not surprise us … what better place to live being a seabird than these lonely places. From there we can perfectly see our next destination: the Arnela Beach and the cliffs of Cabo da Nave.
After walking the entire cliff, we arrive at forest of Arnela, the only shade of the whole stage and a good place if you need a stop. Arnela Beach, completely isolated and quite protected, appears as a haven of tranquility between the cliffs of Castelo Point and the Cape of the Nave. Surrounded by a beautiful dune complex, it is a very dangerous beach for swimming.
On the path that borders the Arnela Beach we reach the first cliffs of the Cape of the Nave. This whole stage has taken us along a rugged and rugged coast, which we have been going through the heights, but this section has no comparison. For two and a half kilometers, we will progressively climb up a path, from a height of 40 meters to 220 meters from the antennas of Cape of the Nave. A hard section that we will have to walk with a lot of tranquility and that has difficult escapes. From the path we see all these wild cliffs that plummet towards a brave, wild, dark ocean … The trail is spectacular and we are back on a mountain trail at sea level
In the second part of the section, the path, although still steep, is easier to walk. After this hard walk, we arrive at the antennas of the Cape of the Nave, where we will take the opportunity to rest a little before facing the last kilometers of this Camiño dos Faros. The views from this roof are spectacular. The mountain that plummets, the beach of Mar de Fora and the imposing Monte Facho, which hides at the end our goal: the Fisterra Lighthouse.
With its five hundred meters in length and somewhat more collected than the previous ones, the Mar de Fora Beach is oriented to the open sea, ideal for walking and breathing that fresh smell that floods everything, but very dangerous for swimming. Every year someone drowns.
From there, along the cobbled road, we arrive at the Bar da Insua, where we make the last and necessary refreshment stop at O Camiño dos Faros. This bar is one of those little things that we love so much to give life. You can see the mural painted by Teresa Candal and, although the desire to arrive is many, we will rest and we will all arrive together at the end, the mythical Fisterra Lighthouse.
We begin our quiet ascent to Monte Facho along the Camiño da Insua, an old path encased among rocks. Monte Facho is a place of legend. In Duio numerous archaeological remains have been found indicating that there may have been Dugium, the great city of the ancient Celtic settlers of these lands, the Nerios. And that here, on top of Monte Facho, they had their altar of the sun: Ara Solis, where they performed their pagan rites of worship to the king star.
Monte Facho has also been, since time immemorial, a key place in navigation. Before the construction of the lighthouse in 1853, at the top bonfires were lit to guide the ships that crossed these difficult seas or to warn the cities, by lighting other facs, of enemy incursions on this coast. A few hundred meters offshore and challenging, we see the islet of O Centolo. This 25 m high rock is struck again and again by the strong sea forming a perfect habitat for the rich barnacles that are raised there.
The last climb, very steep and with stony terrain, is the final gift of this trail, which tells us for the last time that something wants something costs. Upon reaching the top, the prize is not small: the first views of Faro Fisterra, which we reached by a completely different path from the rest: O Camiño dos Faros. The vision presented impresses us, as I had done with the Romans and pilgrims who arrived here at all times. At our feet, the vastness of the Atlantic Ocean is crossed by thousands of boats that cross this sea corridor every day.
The first order Fisterra Lighthouse was built in 1853 to signal this key geographical point in navigation. The octagonal stonework tower measures 17 meters and its lantern, located 138 meters above sea level, reaches more than 30 nautical miles. Originally it worked with oil lamps, later switching to incandescent lamps, which emit a flash every 5 seconds.
The set is completed with the Semáforo building, built in 1879 to signal the navy. At present, after a rehabilitation, it is a small and curious hotel at the end of the earth. If we look to the south, the entire Corcubión estuary, the Lobeira Islands and the imposing Monte Pindo complete this natural viewpoint.
And here, in the Finis Terrae of the Decimo Junio the Gross, is where O Camiño dos Faros ends that directed us to the trasnos throughout this Death Coast. A Camiño dos Faros that runs through many different landscapes, always facing the sea and facing the west. Lighthouses, beaches, dunes, rivers, cliffs, forests, estuaries with a large number of birds, granite seas, castros, dolmens, fishing villages, viewpoints to the sea that breaks in all possible ways, sunsets … In summary, a hiking route as few and that will take the hiker to a world of unique sensations that can only be enjoyed on this Costa da Morte.

Saturday is market day in Sagada. Early morning, crowds already filled the town center selling and buying different goods. It is during this time that the farmers from different barangays will sell their fresh harvests – mostly homegrown vegetables or those freshly picked in their own farm. Most of the vegetables being sold all over the Philippines, particularly in Metro Manila, came from this region.

What a day! We left National Geographic Sea Lion anchored off Hopkins and traveled by Zodiacs to a dock. We disembarked, boarded buses, and set off. We went a bit north, then a bit west, and entered beautiful Mayflower Bocawina National Park. Mayflower is the common name of a species of Tabebuia, a tree with beautiful yellow or pink flowers that is abundant in the area.
A bumpy road reminded us that we were going somewhere wild, and the spitting rain told us we were visiting a rainforest. We observed huge Ceibas, Cecropias, vines, and much, much more. We split into groups to hike trails of different lengths with different objectives. There was something for everyone, including birds, Mayan archeology, exercise, and a dip in a waterfall.
When we returned, most of us were wet and all of us were very happy with our accomplishments. Just a half hour away, a traditional Mayan lunch was waiting at the Mayan Center.
Wouldn’t you know it? The ship was repositioned in a different, convenient anchorage, Placencia, and gelato was offered to refresh us.
Despite an already-full-day, it wasn’t over! By 4:45 p.m., we were once again in the Zodiacs. This time, we were showered and dry, and we had on our dancing shoes! In a palapa-style bar on a dock, the Garifuna Collective, an internationally acclaimed musical group, was waiting to give us a rollicking good time as the sun set in the clear sky.

I had never really thought much about Maryland, nor had I heard of a little waterside town, population a smidge over 1,000, called St. Michaels.
But turns out the town an hour and a half from Washington, D.C. was the site of the wedding in Wedding Crashers (the crashees were married at the centuries-old Inn at Perry Cabin by Belmond) and it’s been described among the ranks of the Hamptons and Nantucket, yet without the pomp and glut of people. It’s also where a teenage Frederick Douglass toiled as a slave for a time, and where he taught himself to read and write before he escaped and fled north. The St. Michaels Museum offers weekend or by-arrangement walking tours highlighting Douglass’ early life and an expanded exhibit indoors called “Frederick Douglass: His world 1818-1895.”
It was voted one of 2015’s best coastal towns too, and I completely get why.
To get there, you’ll drive across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, better known as the Bay Bridge—the world’s longest over-water steel structure in case fun facts are your thing. The Miles River runs along St. Michaels and empties into the Chesapeake Bay so there are few places you’ll find yourself without a water view.
Talbot St., the town’s main street, looks just like the postcard-worthy place you’d expect from somewhere established in the 1700s—historic colonial homes turned coffee shops, fresh-made ice cream parlors like Justine’s where residents and repeat visitors line the sidewalk out front and boutiques selling the kinds of antique gems you’d imagine ladies onboard the Titanic sporting.
While there’s nothing wild about St. Michaels, you wouldn’t want there to be. The quiet is part of the charm. Most go there for the views and the eats anyway, and those of the crustacean variety are king here.
Maryland blue crab is famed the country over for its taste and that good ole’ Old Bay seasoning its residents swear by (hence the saying, “I put Old Bay on my Old Bay”). And it’s no joke. You can snag a bushel of crabs for around $150 from some restaurants for carry-out and they come so slathered in the Maryland-made seafood seasoning, the smell will easily fill a room or three and make you salivate. But I’ll tell you all about downing a bushel of blue crab in my next post.
When it’s time for dinner, waterfront is the only option and St. Michaels Crab and Steak House is one of the best. Sit outside for a backdrop of boats on the marina and try the crab dip to start and the crab cake for a main, it’s easily the most beautifully flavored, melt-in-your-mouth crab cake I’ve ever had. If you tire of crab, there are oysters and a salmon filet that’s done right too.
This town is kind of a sweet secret I was fortunate enough to discover when my boyfriend’s family invited us for a visit, so go, but don’t tell too many people or we’ll spoil it.


I have a confession to make as a Minnesotan. I’ve never crossed the border up into Canada even though my accent has made many people think I’m Canadian.
I know, I’m a bad Northerner and really need to cross Canada off the bucket list and go back to my roots of nice people, hockey, and beer. Since it’s so big, I’m breaking down Canada into smaller bits to stretch out our exploration of this beautiful country.
I’m starting with British Columbia as I really want to visit Vancouver and Victoria. I’ve heard wonderful things about these cities and can’t wait to see them in person. Plus, it doesn’t hurt that British Columbia is known for its stunning coastline and mountains, as well as top-rated ski resorts!
I’ve seen part of the Pacific Northwest on a trip to Seattle, and I’m definitely down to continue exploring this gorgeous part of the world. I love how the rugged mountains meet the sea and the dramatic landscapes are perfect for capturing on film.
Here are our picks for things to do in British Columbia when we finally check it off the travel list!
British Columbia bucket list:
1. Explore Glacier National Park
Jagged peaks, narrow valleys, and about 400 glaciers are waiting for us in Glacier National Park. There are some easy and moderate hiking trails to trek to help us discover this national treasure, as well as some opportunities for wildlife sightings – I’m hoping more of the caribou kind until we’re back in the car, then we can be on the lookout for black bears and grizzly bears.
If there’s time, I’d also like to check out the Glacier House, a Victorian-era mountain resort that’s now some stone ruins.
2. Go wine tasting in the Okanagan Valley
Surprise, I want to go wine tasting! With about 200 wineries and vineyards in the valley, this award-winning wine region is a must visit for our taste buds! Known for producing both whites and reds, I can’t wait to sample some pinot gris and then move on to a robust pinot noir.
We’ll probably opt for a guided tour with transportation so we can fully enjoy our tastings and many even include a wine lunch. Perhaps we can also enjoy a pit stop at the farmers market for some fresh fruit and baked goods.
3. Ride the Peak 2 Peak Gondola
While we may not be going over ski season, we’ll still want to check out the Whistler and Blackcomb ski areas, and I think the best way to do it will be on the Peak 2 Peak Gondola. It’s an 11-minute ride but holds two Guinness Book of World Records entries for the longest and highest lift.
We’re pretty spoiled with our mountain views at our favorite Colorado ski resort, but the images from this ride are breathtaking and something I can’t wait for us to do! They also have a suspension bridge we can cross for even more photos of the mountains here.
4. Tour Vancouver
I love guided tours of cities but I feel we might be able to learn more about Vancouver on our own discovery tour as we check out the Vancouver Aquarium, Stanley Park, the Seawall, Brockton Point and its totem poles, as well as explore the city center, Gastown, and Chinatown. I’ll also want to go to the Lookout in Harbour Centre for an amazing bird’s-eye view of the city.
5. Visit Victoria
Victoria made the list as my parents raved about it after they came back from Canada. As the capital of British Columbia, it just makes sense to add it to our travel itinerary. We can stroll the waterfront, visit the Empress Hotel, and make a trip to Butchart Gardens, a 20-hectare property filled with themed gardens with plants, trees, and flowers.
6. Whale watching cruise
Since we’ll be in Victoria, I’ll want to climb aboard for a whale watching cruise as Travel + Leisure named Victoria as one of the best destinations in North America for whale watching, especially for orcas and humpback whales. We can also enjoy sightings of dolphins, seals, sea lions, and bald eagles on our tour.
7. Spend the night in a Free Spirit Sphere
Starting at $314 (CAD) per night, these unique floating accommodations are influenced by Biomimicry, the practice of emulating nature’s patterns and structures, and are shaped like nuts – which is a well-adapted shape for the forest. These treehouses are a must for our British Columbia bucket list, even if we only spend one night there.
Free Spirit Spheres are on Vancouver Island and nestled in a coastal rainforest. While staying here, we can go sea kayaking, check out some caves, traipse along the Lighthouse Country Regional Trail, or visit the nearby beaches.
8. Explore the Enchanted Forest
Originally built as a fun project by Doris and Ernest Needham, this magical forest filled with 350 fairy figurines and 800-year-old cedars, is now a popular tourist attraction. Fairies, dwarves, pirates, and even dragons hide among the trees, pools, and waterfalls, and there’s even a Candy Cane house and pirate ship tucked away. The forest also boasts British Columbia’s tallest treehouse!
This spot is geared more towards families and children, but it still looks like a super cool spot to spend a morning or afternoon feeling like we fell right into a Disney movie – and hopefully not a Grimm’s fairytale.
9. Cross the Capilano Suspension Bridge
Spanning 460 ft., the original bridge was built in 1889 and built just for the builder, George Grant Mackay, and his friends. In 1903, the bridge got an upgrade and in 1910 got new owners. Since then, the bridge has become a top tourist destination in Vancouver for daring adventurers, and I think I’m adding Rick’s and my name to the list.
Thrill-seekers also enjoy the park’s additions, like the Treetop Adventures Canopy Walk, where you go tree to tree 100 ft. above the ground. We can add the Cliffwalk to our itinerary and get incredible views of the cliffs, river, and Suspension Bridge.
10. Relax on the Hot Springs Circle Route
Ticking the Blue Lagoon off our bucket list in Iceland was a super fun experience and I absolutely love the hot springs we have here in Colorado, so it’s natural that I’ll want to add time at at least one of the hot springs in British Columbia to our list. Fortunately, there are eight on the 530-mile Hot Springs Circle Route!
We probably won’t have time to try them all, but there are some fantastic options for resorts or quaint towns with springs. It looks like there are some cool springs in Halcyon and then we can even check out New Denver and Sandon, the “Monte Carlo of the North” and a historic Gold Rush ghost town!

The presence of mineral water in a town could turn it into an attraction. Developers seized the opportunity to build a number of interventions that directly arose from the presence of mineral waters, including; wells, swimming pools, bathhouses, hotels, and mineral water bottling facilities. Because Texas mineral groundwater is governed by the rule of capture, many privately owned businesses centered around mineral water capture emerged around the turn of the century. However, after World War I, the rise of modern medicine brought about a decline in popularity for mineral wells. The tourism around the wells began to drop off and many of the hotels and bathhouses associated with the wells fell into disrepair and or were destroyed by fire.
At the beginning of the twenty-first century, medical tourism has been seeing a resurgence as tourists seek an authentic wellness experience in their travels.Trends indicate that people are increasingly seeking out more natural, organic wellness solutions and desire to find respite from large cities. From our research, we identified Glen Rose as a town with rich layers of strata in the ground, sitting atop the Trinity aquifer and with a robust system of mineral wells that could support this experience. With the Paluxy Creek cutting through the town, Glen Rose already boasts a public mineral water swimming pool and a number of wells.
In its effort to differentiate itself from other small Texas towns as a unique tourist destination, Glen Rose capitalizes on the shift in the health tourism movement in modern times.
Because the Texas Rule of Capture governs groundwater law and provides that a landowner has the right to pump groundwater accessible from beneath his or her property, the citizens of Glen Rose have decided to form a collaborative in which private businesses along the town square have utilized their individual right to collect groundwater and have pooled their resources together to convert the town’s central social space into a “wet town,” channeled through several wells across multiple properties. In the Grand architectural tradition, they “borrowed” the form of pools from rival mineral water towns and have taken inspiration from their travels to create replicas of their favorite pools from across the world.
Several blocks contain water treatment facilities such as a managed aquifer recharge zone, which ensures that water resources are not depleted.
These subsurface zones are allocated to treat water in an aquifer from a variety of sources, including river water, reclaimed water, and rainwater. Additionally, three water towers surround the town square and hold approximately one million gallons of water each, supporting three days’ worth of water supply for the community. Groundwater is pumped by a series of windmills. The design is an integrated system that celebrates and distributes mineral water. The town’s four quadrants cater to different programs associated with this natural resource, containing areas dedicated to bathing, swimming, drinking, and hospitality.
The northwest block of Glen Rose is filled with sports pools. There’s a saying around town that every kid in Glen Rose learns to swim before they walk. Here they have their field days and swim meets for the local schools. Coincidentally, the Glen Rose High School swim team has placed first in state ever since the new pools were added. Meanwhile, the Northeast block is home to a water bottling facility that distributes mineral water for drinking Glen Rose’s healing water. They are slowly but surely edging out their competitors, Crazy Water, in Mineral Wells to establish themselves as the premier mineral water of the Central Texas area. A number of hotels and bathhouses surround the periphery of the southern portion of the town square and serve as an area for guests to stay at and bathe in mineral water baths. Hipsters, the elderly, movie stars, and country folk all bathe in the same healing waters.
In response to the fluctuating demand for water usage throughout the day and between seasons, different blocks in Glen Rose will be filled and others left empty. This will further inform rituals and festivities taking place in the town.
Pools transform into popular public spaces including a skate park in the town square, an amphitheater in the southeast block, or even utilizing pool covers as a trampoline playground. On special occasions such as Glen Rose’s annual Local Band-Bash Splash Day, the town square will be the designated wet area of the town for people to gather. Glen Rose will celebrate its identity as the “dinosaur capital of Texas, ” with dinosaur statues spraying mineral water. Outdoor overhead mist machines above the town’s arches and on the grounds of the town square will create a fog that encompasses the courthouse and cools the space. The design elevates the environment of the small town into an immersive hydrophilic experience.


Spanning 1.6 million acres, more than 350,000 acres of previously congressionally-designated Wilderness, the Mojave Trails National Monument is comprised of a stunning mosaic of rugged mountain ranges, ancient lava flows, and spectacular sand dunes.
The monument will protect irreplaceable historic resources including ancient Native American trading routes, World War II-era training camps, and the longest remaining undeveloped stretch of Route 66. Additionally, the area has been a focus of study and research for decades, including geological research and ecological studies on the effects of climate change and land management practices on ecological communities and wildlife.

It is a common misconception that Canada has vast amounts of land that could support large numbers of immigrants. Much of this belief is due to a failure to understand Canada’s unique but rather daunting geography. About half of the country is bare (or, at best, spruce-covered), uninhabitable rock, namely the famous Canadian Shield. Pierre Trudeau’s Multiculturalism invention is destroying the country, and to speak against it is regarded as sheer heresy. The Chinese are by far the biggest immigrant group, and Vancouver is now an Asian city. But it is not only numbers of people that matter, because there are other ways of changing the country. Money from Saudi Arabia has insidious effects, and Muslim obsessions with sharia (Muslim law) corrode basic Canadian values.

Day 1 – Tuesday, January 30, 2024: Departure
Today we embark on our Journey to the Holy Land. Prepare yourself for a life-changing experience. Get some rest on the flight… Tomorrow you will be walking where Jesus walked!
Day 2 – Wednesday, January 31, 2024: Arrive Israel
Arrive in Israel and travel northward to our hotel for one night in the coastal area near Tel Aviv. The remainder of the day is free to walk along the Mediterranean, relax, and have dinner. The time is right for a personal devotional with the sunset over the “Great Sea.” Meet your Israeli guide, enjoy a time of prayer of thanks for safety and the special blessings ahead, a prayer for the people of the "Promised Land", and a good night’s rest.
Day 3 – Thursday, February 1, 2024: Caesarea, Megiddo & Nazareth
After breakfast, we travel by private motor coach along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea to Caesarea, where Gentiles first heard the Good News from Peter and were baptized. We’ll see the Roman Amphitheatre, hippodrome, a film on history and the remains of this famous port city, and aqueduct, and then journey on to Mt. Carmel, where Elijah challenged King Ahab and the prophets of Baal. Next we travel through the Jezreel Valley to Megiddo, the Armageddon Battlefield, where archaeologists have unearthed 20 levels of civilization. We drive through the area of Cana and Nazareth, the boyhood home of Jesus, where we visit the Nazareth Village - a wonderful recreation of Biblical times with costumed guides. We will have dinner and overnight lodging for the next two nights in the Tiberias area on the Sea of Galilee.
Day 4 – Friday, February 2, 2024: Dan, Caesarea Philippi, Capernaum, Sea of Galilee Boat Ride, Magdala
Following breakfast, our morning travels take us to two valuable northern sites. Dan is where the children of Israel fell to the depths of alternative sacrifice and Caesarea Philippi, the site of Peter’s Confession and pagan worship. We pass the possible site of the multiplication of loaves and fishes in Bethsaida and the Mount of the Beatitudes. Returning to Tiberias for a St. Peter’s Fish Lunch (other selections available), we then visit the ancient Fisherman Boat followed by a relaxing cruise on the Sea of Galilee. A brief scripture reading and devotional on board brings to life the experiences of Jesus and the fishermen disciples. In Capernaum we view the excavations of the sea-side village and Peter’s home, followed by a visit to Magdala, home town of Mary Magdalene. The recent excavation of the First Century Synagogue and well preserved village makes Magdala one of the most interesting Biblical sites in Israel.
Day 5 – Saturday, February 3, 2024: Jordan River Baptism Site, Beth Shean, & Dead Sea
We begin our day with the opportunity to be baptized at the Jordan River Baptismal site. Next we travel southward to Beit-Shean/Scythopolis, the most magnificent archeological site in Israel, located at the strategic juncture of the Jezreel and Jordan valleys. Like Jericho, it has been almost continuously occupied throughout history. After defeating Saul and his sons on Mt. Gilboa, the Philistines hanged their bodies on the walls of Beit-Shean. During the time of Jesus, Scythopolis was one of the chief cities of the Decapolis - a league of ten cities sharing Greek culture and government. Following the fertile Jordan Valley southward, your guide will point out the agricultural restoration of the “Land of Milk and Honey” and Israel’s intricate irrigation development. We pass ancient Jericho and view from a distance this city famed as the oldest in the world. To the east of Jericho along the Jordan River Valley (Queser El Yehud) is the Israeli side of Bethany Beyond the Jordan. In this area Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist, Elijah and Elisha crossed the Jordan, as well as where the children of Israel, led by Joshua, entered the Promised Land. Our lodging for the evening is at the Dead Sea – the lowest place on earth. Spend time in the special spa and enjoy a dip in the Dead Sea for a relaxing float before dinner.
Day 6 – Sunday, February 4, 2024: Masada, Ein Gedi, Dead Sea Scrolls, Abraham's Tent
Our day begins with a cable car ride to the mountain top fortress of Masada. Here our guide will treat us to the history of the famous zealot stand. Afterwards we proceed to Ein Gedi, "Spring of the Goat", an oasis on the western shore of the Dead Sea. Because of its warm climate and abundant supply of water, the site developed a reputation for its fragrant plants and date palm groves. This is where King David hid from Saul, and where God defeated the enemies of the Israelites by praise and worship led by King Jehoshaphat. Next, we visit Qumran Caves where the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered. This afternoon we will take part in the Genesis Land/Dinner in Abraham's Tent, where we enjoy a trip back in time: a reliving of life in the time of the Patriarchs, complete with costume, dramatic presentation, camel ride and authentic food. Our lodging for the next four nights will be in Jerusalem.
Day 7 – Monday, February 5, 2024: Around Jerusalem, Bible Times, Hebron
Conditions permitting we will visit the Temple Mount, with commentary on the Temple Periods, and the variety of belief systems past and present that make this area so valuable. From here we will also be able to see the Pool of Bethesda, Stephen's Gate and St. Ann’s Church. Passing by the Protestant Cemetery, we visit the "Upper Room" just outside the Zion Gate where the disciple whom Jesus loved laid his head on His breast and where later Thomas cried, "my Lord & my God." This afternoon we visit Hebron where the Cave of the Patriarchs and Matriarchs is located. The burial site of Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and Rebecca, Jacob and Leah.
Day 8 – Tuesday, February 6, 2024: Jesus' Steps, the Last Days, David’s Citadel Light Show
Today we walk where Jesus walked, beginning the day with a panoramic view of the city, Mount Moriah and the Dome of the Rock from atop the Mount of Olives and then the Garden of Gethsemane. How many have wished to be whisked back in time to get a glimpse of our Lord or hear His voice if only for a moment? To walk between the ancient olive trees, read the scriptures of Jesus' prayer and take time for personal reflection is important here. Next we visit the House of Caiaphas where Jesus was beaten and spit upon. See a pit where he may have been held for the evening and the ancient hillside steps he walked as he was taken to be condemned. On our way into the city we will visit the Wailing Wall and then the fascinating Rabbinical Tunnels leading us through the Second Temple era. The tunnel and exhibit give a clear understanding of the amazing construction of the Temple Mount, giant stones, water supply and Roman street where our Lord was led to judgment. Before exiting the tunnel we see the immense cornerstone rejected by the builders. We move on to the Judgment Hall of Pilate, hear of those who conspired against Him and are reminded of His brutal beating and humiliation. Tonight we will visit the Light and Sound show in the Tower of David Museum.
Day 9 – Wednesday, February 7, 2024: Way of Suffering, Garden Tomb, Pentecost, Bethlehem
While walking along the Via Dolorosa, we are reminded of His way of suffering along with a visit to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. Our guide will explain the differing opinions on the route that Christ was led. The actual place of crucifixion and burial is a very interesting study. Our climax of the day is the area of Golgotha (place of the skull) and the Garden Tomb, where we celebrate the resurrection with communion and a time of praise. This afternoon we visit the Southern Wall Excavations. This southern side of The Temple was the main entrance for the common folk, whereas the Priests and Levites had their own entrance from the higher eastern side. Parts of the giant stairs, which led to the Temple Mount from the courtyard have been unearthed along with the purification pools. From here Jesus entered the Temple Mount and drove out the vendors and money exchangers who were exploiting the people. It is also likely that this is the place that Peter stood and preached and where thousands were saved and baptized on the Day of Pentecost. We will enjoy a challenge from God’s Word and a song. We will spend this afternoon surrounding the birth of Christ with a visit to Bethlehem. We will visit Church of the Nativity, Shepherd Fields (including Shepherds Cave and a visit to Church of the Shepherds) and Solomon’s Pools.
Day 10 – Thursday, February 8, 2024: Home
A very early morning departure for the Tel Aviv Airport for our flight homeward will allow for arrival home by early afternoon.
Itinerary subject to change while touring for the best interest of the group.


Preparing for the Upcoming Season
21 April 2017 | Trogir, Croatia
Escapade wintered over on the hard at the Marina Trogir in Croatia while Debbie and I tried to find some skiing in the Dolomites at Cortina. Unfortunately, for the second year in a row Cortina experienced a very serious drought - literally no snow in the village all year and very little in the high mountains. The good news is that unlike our native Squaw Valley in CA the Dolomites have extensive top to bottom snow making saving the season for the skiers and for the local merchants.
Escapade seems to have survived the winter reasonably well with virtually no damage other than a serious coating of dirt. Now we will put in the necessary 3-4 weeks cleaning her up and supervising the yard doing some pretty extensive and overdue hull sanding, compounding and waxing. We are also managing a complete refit of countertops and plumbing fixtures for the galley and both heads. It's really nice to be able to upgrade some of the things that you touch and use everyday. And we are always proud parents when Escapade is looking good!
I almost forgot: I bought Debbie a present of a brand new Lofrans windlass. She's more excited than a trip to Tiffanys! Escapade carries 400' of 3/8 HT chain and a 55 kg Rocna anchor so we never want to be in a position to try to get that up by hand. The old one still worked but it was giving out definite signs of impending retirement. We got a great price on the windlass from a marine store named Nauticogallo just S of Venice - highly recommend them.
March has been beautiful with sun everyday and temps in the mid-60's. The old town of Trogir is waking up and businesses and restaraunts are readying for the upcoming tourist onslaught. We now have the choice of more than one restaurant and it’s warm enough to ride our bikes everywhere.
The one serious negative about Croatia (other than no Italian food and no Italians) is the 4,000 bareboats plus the 150+ crewed charter boats. Not only do they drive up the marina prices and make marine work difficult to get done in season but the standards for chartering have bottomed out and it can be a bit dangerous out there. The charter companies advertise that you can vacation cheaper in Croatia by renting/sharing a cabin on a bareboat than by staying in a hotel or apartment and taking a ferry between islands. To this end more and more buoy fields are sprouting up to make 'parking' easier.
On a positive note; we have been able to identify a number of excellent Croatian wines and figured out that it's far more reasonable to buy them by the multiple caseload at the winerey. We are concerned about the quality of the Retsina in Greece which is our destination this summer so prudently we are laying in supplies before we depart.
Now we will make a quick trip to CA to check in with friends and family while looking forward to returning to Trogir mid-May to splash the boat and head south to Montenegro, Albania, Greece and Turkey...

After months of research, Skype chats, and numerous coffee meetings, we have identified potential sites and partners in Ethiopia and are ready to move into action!
A critical next step to moving our plan to establish a poverty-fighting, high-quality wine industry in Ethiopia into implementation is to conduct a follow up assessment and site selection trip.
In September, Tom, our viticulture consultant from UC Davis, and I plan to travel to Ethiopia to select a site, interview farmers, and determine what resources need to be secured before we can begin land preparation, start planting vines and design the training programs.
Our goal is to collect all the necessary information to devise a comprehensive, long-term plan that will then allow us to target major funders and potential social impact investors. In order to do that, we need your help!
We’ve launched our first fundraising campaign to raise $10,000. While Tom and I are excited to be doing this work on a volunteer-basis, plane tickets to Ethiopia are mighty expensive and we would appreciate your support in helping with our travel expenses.
If you’re in Atlanta, we’d like to celebrate our work with our donors at the Official Launch Party on June 10. We are very lucky to have our friends at High Road Ice Cream, Steady Hand Pour House, Sugar-Coated Radical, and Worthwhile Wine Company all in one place, providing samples of their amazing ice cream, chocolates, coffee, and wine. Also, have a chance to win prizes, enter a wine auction, and enjoy music and dance performances all night long.
We’re working on ideas for those of you in other cities, so stay tuned…or let us know if you’re interested in hosting a SPARCdev launch party in your city!


The Médulas de Caldesiños are a secondary type of gold deposit, i.e. the result of primary rock erosion and subsequent dragging and deposit by river currents. This deposit formed part of the auriferous territories exploited by the Roman Empire in Galicia. Pliny the Younger, an, important Roman magistrate who administered some Galician mines, claimed that at different times they reached 10% of the total empire income. The arrival of the Romans meant the introduction of more advanced exploitation systems than the technique used until then by the Astures, centred on the sifting of river sands. This system used in Caldesiños and described by Pliny is an extensive method called “ruina-montium” consisting of channelling water from where rivers began transporting it to the tanks “piscinae”, located at the top of the mountain until filled. Next the water stored was released and on passing through the open mountain galleries the first material erosion was achieved. The hydraulic force dragged the mass to the wash channels called “agogae”, where the largest examples were eliminated before entering the channels. The finer stones flowed through the evacuation channels to the washing queues where they were selected.
Exploitation of the Caldesiños “médulas” or “borreas” led to a landscape cut-up like a quarter of an orange and abandoned due to the little profitability of the extractions.

Claver Ntoyinkima, a native park ranger, shares the secrets of Nyungwe National Park in Rwanda as he guides us through the forest. With almost 300 bird species, over 1,000 plant species, and dozens of large and small mammals, Nyungwe is one of the most biodiverse places in the world. Twenty-five years after the devastation of the Rwandan Civil War, the park is now one of the best-conserved montane rainforests in Central Africa. As Claver walks through the forest we uncover the origins of his conservation values and the history of an ecosystem that survived one of Rwanda’s darkest periods.

The best fleet of motorhomes and RVs for rent in Denmark
We're all about exploring the world and getting you out there! That's why we're offering a 20% discount on RV rentals to a range of our favorite trips. Offer is limited to 2021 road trips!
The geography of Denmark is interesting; the land area is divided into several large islands, often connected by bridges. A total of 5.8 million people live in Denmark, a fairly flat country founded as a kingdom by Vikings in the eighth century. Denmark has been embroiled in many wars, but has nonetheless worked its way up as a successful trading nation in the Nordic region and Western Europe. As well as colorful and fascinating cities like Odense and Copenhagen, Denmark has some wonderful natural areas like the Grenz Peninsula and the sandstone cliffs of Møn. Rent a RV in Denmark and explore all the beautiful corners of the country.
With its endless coastline, picturesque towns, and dense forests, Denmark seems like a paradise for campers. Unfortunately, wild camping is not allowed in this Scandinavian country, and you will have to find a designated campsite. This can be a simple spot in the countryside with no facilities or a luxury holiday park with running water and electricity. For history buffs, the fascinating Egeskov castle is a dream destination; find a campsite near it and explore the medieval walls for yourself.
If you love the sea and dune areas, then Thy National Park and the spectacular area around Rubjerg Knude lighthouse are perfect destinations for a motorhome rental in Denmark. If you are more of a forest lover, find a campsite near the Rold Skov forest or plan a trip through hilly Svanninge.
Driving with snow chains is permitted in Denmark during the winter months, but not compulsory.
The 2-digit motorways and 3-digit regional roads are often in perfect condition, with high-quality asphalt. Please note that the rural roads are often unpaved, but accessible with a campervan. In the cities, the roads are in perfect condition. There are no toll roads in Denmark, but crossing the bridge between Copenhagen and Malmö is subject to tolls.
Sandwiched between Germany, Sweden, and Norway, Denmark is a relatively small European country covering an area of 43,000 square kilometers. Denmark enjoys a cool maritime climate, characterized by cold winters and cool summers. Precipitation is evenly distributed throughout Denmark throughout the year, although the west of the main island of Jutland is on average wetter and cooler than other parts of the country.
Summer is by far the sunniest and warmest season, with a minimum of 20 to 25ºC across the country. The Danes love to be out in nature in the summer, and with wonders like the Møn Cliffs and Thy National Park, this is no surprise. Cities such as Odense and Copenhagen also host sublime festivals such as the Hans Christian Andersen Festival Plays and Copenhagen Jazz Festival.
In the autumn, temperatures drop below 10ºC and there are considerably fewer hours of sunshine than in the summer. However, nature shows beautiful colors, and in places like the Rold Skov forest, the autumn leaves and mushrooms create a wonderful atmosphere.
In winter, the number of sunshine hours is minimal, there are many gray days and the national temperatures hover around freezing point. However, Christmas markets come alive, the most beautiful of which can be found in Aarhus, Aabenraa, and Copenhagen. If you're lucky, you can even see the imaginative architecture in the capital Copenhagen covered in snow.
Spring brings new life, as can be seen at the Sakura Cherry Blossom Festival in Copenhagen, the wildflower fields in the countryside, or the city parks in Odense and Aarhus.
May and June are excellent months for a campervan rental in Denmark. Nature flourishes, the weather is sunny and there are several nice festivals during this period. In addition, the price of hiring a campervan is quite appealing.
