Digital Tavern E-Mail Notices. Did You Miss This? For some reason email notifications didn't go out for the tail end of my Mexico adventure trip. So if you've got a minute and want to be...
Good to be back. Though I miss the overall romance of life on the road as a free-spirited wayfaring traveler. Ah. But reality sets in. Stacks of mail. Bills to pay. Voice mail. Unfinished business...
The morning pack bike ritual was interrupted momentaily when the owner of a huge red pickup outfitted with the ubiquitous spare tire in the bed and string of Hella spotlights on the roll bar. When I...
It was barely 7 am when Chuck from Chatsworth started up his portable compressor and air gun as he torqued the tire bolts of his off-road monster. Ok. Maybe his name wasn’t Chuck nor from...
Rubbing the sleep from my eyes, I absorbed the sunrise over the Sea of Cortez this morning. Radiant orange and brilliant red framing a tranquil silhouette of both Isla Angel de la Guarda and Isla...
I forgot to mention San Ignacio, where I had lunch before continuing to Bahia de Los Angeles. It’s a quaint small village a few miles off the crazy Mex Route 1. Though smack in the middle of...
Woke up tangled in my sleeping bag under a palapa just south of Mulagé with the rising sun painting fire in the sky. The mosquitoes flanked our palapa and hopping little insects annoyed my...
The ferry finally pulled out of Guaymas yesterday about 10:30am. My original travel companion, Mark, decided to make his journey back to San Francisco the day before. So then there are five: Sean and...

Sitting in an internet cafe in Creel, entry to the canyon system that spans 6 times larger than the Grand Canyon. A great motorcycle ride from Newport to Sonoito in Sonora on my first day. About 400...
I received a few e-mails asking about Mexico and why am I thrusting myself from one culture (Italian) to another (Mexican) so quickly. So rather than write a long essay on this I urge you to check...
It's a whirlwind. I'm now sitting safely, so to speak, in Orange County. Home from Rome, Tuscany, Italy & Newark. But not for too long. The apocalyptic skies drenching silvery streams...
Well of course. There's much to see in Italy. And our trip was simply focused on Rome and Tuscany. We'll be back. And I'll be back on the Digital Tavern with more experiences from...
We arrived after hanging with the Ciacci family. It was dark in Siena. The main Piazza empty. But the signature clock tower loomed high and proud above. The next day, the skies starting welling up...

Altesino has been a familiar name in Brunello di Montalcino since the early 70’s. Their Brunello designated Montosoli Vineyard is consistently highly related, delicious, hard to get and...

I’ve had a bit of problem getting images from this trip to upstream. But I think I’ve solved the problem. If you found bad links in the past posts you’ve read, scroll down and the...
