If I recall this moment, I had been looking out the window at the people sleeping in the mud, the outdoor pit toilets, and the general state of how people live. I started to tear up at one p ...

Holiday Reflections

I warn you, this is a ramble or sorts, and It definitely might make you wonder what I am up to on a Saturday afternoon, but my intent is to be though provoking. I observe Shabbat as much as I can, and a day of no technology and thinking, well makes a guy think!

I [...]

Kolkata, India

Josh took this photo of me waiting on the platform of the New Delhi Railway Station with all of our luggage as we learned that the train would be 5 hours late. I was warned this might happen and at this point in the vacation we were both more that used to things in [...]

Nevelson

After a three decade artistic love affair with Louise Nevelson, I finally own one! Not exactly one of her MoMA grade sculptures but an cool silver print she made in the later years of her career. It was hand made by the artist and signed. I purchased it on vacation with my mom in Rockland [...]

Shakshuka!

5895

I am not 100% certain of the origin of the magical dish known as shakshuka! I am told it means mixed up in Arabic and its prevalence in Israel has something to do with the influx of Jews from Arabs lands.

I am told it is made from roasted peppers of various kinds, tomatoes [...]

A Hamas militant in the Gaza Strip reads from the Koran as the funeral of a bodyguard of Prime Minister Ismail Haniya takes place.

I will admit to being tired of thinking about this. Tonight is Hanukkah, we [...]

Our deepest fears are like dragons guarding our deepest treasure – Rainier Maria Rilke

It seems strange to write a page like this on my blog as this whole entire thing is about my travels both physical and existential through life. I suppose I can try to give a brief overview of who [...]

Spain (incomplete move from old site)

The Trip started Tuesday night with a trip to JFK. Nothing eventful happened at all. We boarded the flight and made our way to Spain via Iberia.

Wednesday 8th of September

The jet from JFK arrives late to Madrid Barajas and we miss the connection to Barcelona and we fear that we might miss our [...]

Mexico w/Idan

Idan has been traveling through Mexico for over a month and was around the Cancun area. I looked online and found a good deal to go visit him for a 4 days weekend. In total the trip would cost about 300$. I figured staying in a resort would give him nice break from his backpacking [...]

A Return to Prague

The trip was originally going to be Anthony, Roy, Dan and me, but circumstances dictated that only Dan and I would be able to go. The day of departure came and we had arranged to meet at 11 Madison Park for lunch, hop in the car to JFK, and be off for a great weekend [...]
