Off We Go.

“Budapest is a Western European city for an Eastern European price. Thus, it attracts tourists of every variety, from thirsty, fratty Brits to young, spelunking Australians to tired old bones only interested in a hot spring dip. But even if you’re not interested in raving, caving, or bathing, Budapest also offers a mix of the Soviet Union’s legacy and the history of a country that has lost every battle it has ever been involved in.”

“Beneath the heavily vegetated branches and hanging green fruits, a timeless scene has hardly changed for generations. A musician plays his guitar among laughing children while chickens peck at their feet. A father and son sing together with matching smiles.”

Let’s Go is dreaming of Frühjahr…

“When he shall die,

Take him and cut him out in little stars,

And he will make the face of heaven so fine

That all the world will be in love with night

And pay no worship to the garish sun.”

Can you name the city where this star-crossed man (and his lady) bid their last farewell?

Assisi, Italy: just as charming as its sister city, San Francisco. 

“That is no country for old men. The young

In one another’s arms, birds in the trees

— Those dying generations — at their song,

The salmon-falls, the mackerel-crowded seas,

Fish, flesh, or fowl, commend all summer long

Whatever is begotten, born, and dies.”

A Nice View

“There is no better way to become better acquainted with the unsurpassable power of the Cape Peninsula than to scramble over its rocky steps, trudge along its sandy shores and, with every chance to rehydrate, discover new wounds. After all, hiking the Hoerikwaggo entails five days of uneven ground. It takes suffering a few blisters and a sunburnt scalp before selfish cares cease to exist in this rocky and rolling landscape of fynbos and flowers.”
