Enjoying a respite in the winter rain, I decided to go and visit Breendonk, a fortress surrounded with water built early in the 20 th […]

There are certain places in the world which pull you back time and again, no matter how hard you try to resist. For me, the list is long, so I’ll just mention a few: Paris; Edinburgh, Scotland; Santa Fe, NM; Tofino, BC; Bandon, OR; and now, Kyoto, Japan has joined the list. After my second […]
