An American Abroad
Every now and then I walk into a place that's so welcoming and aesthetically pleasing that I feel like I'm home--even though I've never been there. One such place is the Nomada Eatery. I was only there once for a fine American breakfast of bacon and … [Continue reading]
I'm back with another photoessay about signs, this time in the oldest neighborhood in Panama City. This may be my last one, though. One of my favorite British road signs reads "Changed Priorities Ahead," which is the best description of life's … [Continue reading]
