Living in southern California for most of my life, I have spent a few weekends in Catalina. It’s only a short hour hour boat ride from Long Beach, but it seems like a world away. I love that it is so small and everyone gets around on golf…
Amsterdam is famous for its canals and picture-postcard setting. You can spend days just wandering up and down and around the many canals
On long walks, day after day along a river, it’s impossible not to notice the boats, many of them progressing not much faster than I.
