Anthony Bourdain In Big Sky Country

It last but not least occurred. For the initially time in above a year residing in Asia, I acquired a bit homesick. Danggit, Anthony Bourdain, if you just weren’t so good at what you do!

The new episode of “No Reservations” on the Travel Channel visited Livingston, Montana aired not long ago. It is a modest town no a lot more than one hundred miles of where I call property. As typical, Mr. Bourdain did a brilliant task of (would “tele-anthropology” be the appropriate phrase?) exploring the area culture and cuisine, spotlighting persons and their inspirations, as well as the troubles and pleasures of their postcard image surroundings. The “wild west” looks to be gracefully evolving, with a continued sense of rugged character, which drew me there in the 1st place.

Please excuse my sentimentality I think it is time to go contact my mom.

CHALET SUZANNE: The forgotten gem of Lake Wales

CHALET SUZANNE: The forgotten gem of Lake Wales S haun and I spent a few weeks earlier this year visiting my parents in their snowbird home – Lake Wales, Florida (with stops in Nashville,   Louisville and Key West ). Lake Wales is a sleepy little town in central Florida about 1.5 hours south of Orlando – and the area (Polk County) is home to well over 100 retirement communities . My parents’ is called Saddlebag (great name) and our time there was full of cards, wine, bingo, The Price Is Right, and Let’s Make A Deal. Perfection . My parents have been going there for years and so far the highlight had been a drive to Spook Hill – an optical illusion that makes a car in neutral appear to travel uphill. Awe. Some. That all changed this year when on a drive to the local WinDixie my mom casually mentioned a little resort called  CHALET SUZANNE that was legendary in the area – first gaining popularity back in the 1930s and 40s. I wanted to see it so we decided to pull in and check it out...
