Study Before Studying Abroad

GrobeTrek — Thu, 26 Oct 2006 18:47:48 +0000

Hartmann explains, there is a wonderful little apple-growing community in the foothills of San Bernardino County, just a quick day trip from Los Angeles, where over 100 varieties of apples are grown.

Vanity Fair on the National Parks

I read the article a while back and have been meaning to write about it ever since. Don't ask me how I ended up there.

The point of al this is that within the Interior Department lies what is probably the best agency in the federal government: The National Park Service. In general, they do a fine job.

Remembering 9/11 - a Brief Personal Essay

GrobeTrek — Tue, 12 Sep 2006 04:56:29 +0000

There, a group of maybe 25 people had assembled, and as the sun went down, they suddenly burst into song.

Strangely, these two emotions did not wrestle for our emotions like the snakes on the staff of Asclepius; rather, they mingled together like smoke and fog, impossible to tell apart, impossible to separate.

phoenix: Gelato in the Desert

GrobeTrek — Mon, 11 Sep 2006 00:24:59 +0000

Recently opened by a pair of Italian couples from just outside Milan, That's Amore offers some 30 traditional gelato flavors to the heatstroked folks of Scottsdale. Also, it's served at the right temperature -- not hard like ice cream, but creamy and smooth, yet still cold enough to fend off the dry desert heat.

For me, living in New York City is a boon to one's cultural experience, but when it comes to the outdoors, well, it's a pain in the arse, frankly. But there are still places to go and things to do in the big metropolis, and each city has its own sportsy charms. So if you're a city clicker looking for some local adventure give this a look-see.
