Lunch Rush at the Silver Swan

By MIKE NORTON

Karen and I realized last month that we weren't seeing enough of each other, so we decided to do something about it. For starters, we're now going out at least once a week for a little low-key "date night." Nothing fancy, just a meal together in someplace where we can have a conversation like to adults who enjoy each other's company.

Sitting among the bluffs of the Missouri River is the quaint little city of Weston. Now the streets are always bustling with tourists and shoppers making their way to shops such as the Celtic Ranch and the Bella Company. What a lot of people do not know is that the town of Weston has ties to the likes of Buffalo Bill Cody and descendants of Daniel Boone, and was once a major river port that supplied Fort Leavenworth.

In South Africa alone, there are hundreds of national parks and game reserves, and it's no wonder. With amazing wildlife, like the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo & rhino), plus rolling hills, amazing cities… Continue

After a long but comfortable flight from LAX via London, we arrived in South Africa. After we quickly settled in to our 'Backpacker's' guest house in the area known as Seapoint, we put on our walking shoes and took a scenic hour's walk towards Camp's Bay. The wild coast of Cape Town is a wonderland of spectacular vistas.

“C'ead Mile Failte” shouted my little leprechaun tour guide picking me up at the train station as he waved a sign in the air that said “America’s Gypsy”.



“C'ead Mile Failte! C'ead Mile Failte!” he repeated as he grabbed my bags and escorted me to the car.



“C'ead Mile Failte? What does that mean”? I asked. In the strangest accent he told me that it means ‘A Hundred Thousand Welcomes’ in Gaelic. With a tilt of my head I questioned,… Continue
