The River Market is one of my favorite spots here in Kansas City and it’s always a joy to me to go there even when I do not have to buy anything. But, of course I never go home empty-handed whenever I end up going there. Just like today, I went home with a … More Kansas City River Market
Our spontaneous and hoppy feet brought me and Tashi to the Kansas City Zoo today. It has been eight years since we last visited the zoo and we were curious on the new attractions it has to offer. First treat was getting discounted platinum tickets – unlimited rides to the carousel, train, tram, … More Meet and Greet With Kansas City Zoo’s Inhabitants
My post about the Lake Jacomo reminded me of the Philippines’ Taal Volcano and Lake. So, I decided to post a few photos of the volcano and lake Tashi and I took during our visit to the Philippines last April 2011. Initially, our plan was just to go to Tagaytay to buy balisongs (butterfly … More Taal Volcano and Lake
Earlier this week, Tashi asked me if I wanted to go to Lake Jacomo with him. Of course, the answer was a quick and big YES! I love nature and it’s always nice to get away from everything and it’s craziness and to just sit, unwind and admire Mother Nature’s beauty even for just … More Lake Jacomo
