Having just returned from a 3 week vacation to South America, I saw and photographed many fascinating places which I hope to share with you in the coming weeks. I thought I’d start with the most colorful place we visited, La Boca.
Gumbo was visiting the southern coast of Sri Lanka, specifically the Tangalla Bay Resort/Hotel near the town of Tangalle. The resort is built atop and into a steep hill that ends on a beautiful white sand beach.
March 6, 2014: The conversation around Gumbo’s table took a turn today as we discussed the sensibilities of men and women and how it might apply to content on the site. The only woman at the moment among the regular bloggers (as far…

Every place wants to be the “most important,” “most popular,” “most famous,” “most beautiful.” It can’t all be true—but there’s no doubt in my mind our visit today to the Great Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba, also called the Mezquita, took us to one of the “most unusual.”
