THE ROMANOV LEGACY, L'HÉRITAGE DES ROMANOVS

- September 25, 2011 - 6 comments

The Neva from the Gulf of Finland to St Petersburg is about 75 kms, but it shows the might of Peter the Gre at and the vision he has for his country. The Neva embankment became fortified and the town built around, the seat of the Empire with the biggest, most beautiful palaces, churches, plazas, gardens and imperial buildings. In 300 years, the House of the Romanov have left their indelible marks in the town where they used to live and reign. The history of the town is the history of…

Norway Horror: A man disguised in policeman gun down summer campers at Utoeja island close by Oslo on Friday, killing at least 80 people.

A WEEK END IN STOCKHOLM

- June 27, 2011 - 16 comments

You may be disappointed not to see many pics about the majestuous monuments in downtown Stockholm, but I was distracted by what's going on around me and in fact, enjoyed myself a lot by watching. I am amazed to see how The Swedes managed to have a town made by themselves to themselves, namely for the PEDESTRIANS. You can see them everywhere, relaxed, contented and happy to be in the Sun, the outdoors and even in the cars !... So, I say : COME ENJOY THE…

LA CASE DE L'ONCLE TOM, UNCLE TOM'S CABIN, LA CASA DEL TÍO TOMAS (1852)

- April 16, 2011 - 10 comments

UNCLE TOM'S CABIN, novel written by HARRIET BEECHER STOWE used to belong to all children's libraries. The author was an American abolitionist and her book was credited for being one of the roots of the Secession War, the Abolition of Slavery... leading to Freedom Movement and Civil Rights activities. The pictures I took while visiting a Plantation in the South show how "Uncle Tom" a house-working slave could have seen, where he could have lived and what objects he would have worked with.

JET-LAG

- October 20, 2010 - 20 comments

JET-LAG is a by-product of modern traveling and you will not find it mention in any travelog. You will not hear about it by all these people zipping from one continent to the other. But, believe me. It happens to all travellers at any age when they try to go faster than the sun and skip too many time-zones in one day. I heard that men, in general, suffer more than women, grown up more than children. If you are in your best shape, you will suffer less than if you are already worn out at start. Th…
