The Indian past is everwhere in Miami and yesterday my Cuban friends and I went to visit the Miccosukee Village in the Everglades. It's on the Tamiami trail and the drive there is already an adventure. The arrow -straight road runs along the Miami canal and I have never seen the water as aligator... Sign in to see full entry.

with all my posts about history, but since I gto so involved with the Historical Museum, I have a chance to see many things and would like to share with you. Today I went to Bal Harbour, a very posh shopping centre on Collins Avenue. However, what's interesting about it is the connection to the... Sign in to see full entry.

I just got back from a special meeting at the Historical Museum of Southern Florida. I have written a few articles about the museum and the result was that they invited me to attend. The occasion was a progress report on the Miami Circle. This is a historical site, actually a sacred site from the... Sign in to see full entry.

Not surprisingly, my thoughts dwell a lot on my late mom, now that Mother's Day is coming up. One of my fondest memories is this: when I was about 13 (a long, long time ago) we lived in Berlin/Germany and my mom, who was a doctor, was the stage doctor for the opera. She was on call three nights a... Sign in to see full entry.

Miami really has it all. For the next 3 days it's the Miami Beach Polo World Cup, which, as the name indicates, takes place on the beach. Vogue had to go look, and here are the pictures. Admire two world class players, one American and one from Argentina. The grooms deserved a picture too! And loved... Sign in to see full entry.

That's the title of this painting by a Cuban artist named T. Beltran. When I saw if I simply couldn't resist. I had to buy it. It now hangs in my living room and, together with me, overlooks the river below. For me, the dream of flying symbolises the essence of writing. I see myself crank up the...

Remember, the han princess I posted a few days ago? Oh no, silly vogue has another pet too. In Turkey, watching over my now empty apartment. Here he is (with his own playmate) Isn't it nice to be able to be such a child at heart? Sign in to see full entry.

Here are the pictures from my trip to Dalyan in Turkey which for some reason didn't come out in the previous post. These impressive tombs are the resting place of the Lycian kings, carved out of the mountain side and dating from 400BC. When driving towards Dalyan, you round a bend--and there they...
