• Nagomi Spa in Hotel Okura Amsterdam

  

  Today was day well-spent practicing zelf zorg or selfcare at the Nagomi Spa and health center. I had a relaxing shiatsu massage; my first. I discovered some muscles in my body that I didn’t even know existed. Points were made, and unmade, along with a long lecture on neck posture. Apparently, mine leaves much to […]

• Last Day in Lisbon: Walk With Us

  

  An indelible memory of Lisbon will be our walks along the Tagus river. The evening market, buzz of people, music, and the sound of tinkling glasses. A city during the evening, and at night, has a different character. It crawls out from under its mask and truly reveals itself. I feel closer, more connected with […]
