A Walk In Hulne Park, Alnwick
Introduction It was raining, but I thought that I needed to get out and get some fresh air this morning, so I thought I would walk around to Hulne Park and take a very short snoop around and see what there was. My friend Julie had told us that this was the Duke of Northumberland's "back garden" but when we went it was shut. It is maintained by Northumberland Estates and you can read about it here.

Maybe I'm A-Mazed
It’s been almost 20 years, but I am still a transplant. I moved 286.7 miles farther away from the East Coast and found out, to my shock, that I was now a Mid-Westerner.

Malaga and Marbella, Spain
In 2004, I took the opportunity to visit Girona and Barcelona, Spain. I returned to Spain with my wife and daughter almost twenty years later. There were two motivations for visiting Spain this past August. First, my daughter missed the beaches on the Florida Gulf Coast, and Spain's Costa del Sol region met her wishes. Second, my wife and daughter both took DNA tests, and the results showed, like mine, that most of our ancestry came from Spain and Portugal.

Popular Places to Travel
Almost all countries are finally open for tourism! I hope that in 2023 you can safely travel to some new places in our beautiful world. We'll begin with the Portuguese island of Madeira, located in Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Africa. Madeira is often called the Hawaii Europe, because the island was born of volcanic origins. If you love hiking or just relaxing on the beach, Madeira is the place for you. Punta du Sol is a great place for swimming. There is no sand, only smooth Boulders, but the ocean is amazing to swim in. A great place to go cliff jumping is Pico de Arriero, one of the tallest points on the island. The elevation is so high up until you will often be in or above the clouds. The hiking there is a sight to see. The trails are so well maintained, you get some of the most phenomenal views. Pico Dugato is nice if you're up for an adventure.

EPCOT’s Food & Wine Festival feat. The Fray
I’ll be honest: I am not a fan of living in Orlando. And I don’t even technically live in Orlando, I live in the suburbs. I moved here two years ago to do the Disney College Program, and never left after my program ended. With life looking like I’ll be Orlando-adjacent for a while, I figured it was time to start looking at O-Town from a different lens.
