Where I Used to Vacation Has Become My Hometown: Pensacola, Florida. Top Story - July 2022.
For more than twenty years, I’ve been in and out of the Florida Panhandle. From New Orleans to Panama City, I’ve lived in all of the cities along the Gulf Coast at one time or another. However, I keep coming back to Pensacola, Florida.

The American Shock: From Atrocity to Beauty and Back Again. Top Story - July 2022.
I am not an American. I am hardly even European. My country is one of those poor Eastern European ones, trapped between the old continent and big monstrous Russia, hardly part of Europe’s culture. A gate between heaven and hell.

The Window Over the Desert. Top Story - June 2022.
We woke up at a decent hour and made breakfast, packed up camp and got ready to head to the basin. We wanted to do the Window Trail, a roughly 6-mile round trip from the parking lot by the lodge. Depending on how my hip would feel after that, we had our eyes on either the Lost Mine Trail or the Boot Canyon Trail after lunch. But first and foremost we wanted to err on the side of caution and relaxation. It was our last easy day before we began the Chisos Mountain Loop (a combination of several trail segments for a total length of almost 17 miles).

Boquillas, Border Town Without a Border
We woke up a little bit after sunrise. It felt good, having slept in the cool night air without the fly on the tent. Even though both our bags are much warmer than we needed, even as exposed as we were, it was nice to have the cooler air on my face. And nice to wake up relatively free of sand. Of course there’s no escape from the sand entirely.

Overnight Hiking the Marufo Vega Trail
My alarm went off a little before 6a. A coyote yipped and howled in a pattern that almost matched that of my alarm. Ian and I lay in the tent for another hour after the coyote stopped, worried that the sound of the alarm may have drawn its interest. The day before us was going to be a busy one. Ian dressed and headed up to the car to begin getting breakfast ready. I stayed down at the bottom of the hill and broke down our campsite, packing everything into the appropriate carry sacks and brought it all to the car. We packed our big backpacks while we ate.
