Park Ranger Roy sharing some insight about the ecology of the Caloosahatchee Creeks Preserve, a wetland owned by the Lee County and free for public use. A wheelchair accessible boardwalk runs through this nature preserve. 84 1
Thomas Edison and Henry Ford were snowbirds, too. They came to Florida each winter to relax (and work) on their estates in Fort Myers! They’ve been beautifully preserved and are open to the public. 75 3
Today, I went on a tour of “Little Africa” in Rio de Janeiro’s Centro District. The tour appealed to me because, as many of you know, I studied history in graduate school with a focus on the Reconstruction Era and the experiences of African Americans in the early decades of the 20th century. 126 5
On this #DivineMercy Sunday, I was blessed to attend Mass at the Pro-Cathedral of St. John the Apostle and Evangelist, my former home parish. How great it was to reconnect old friends and the pastor, Monsignor Delaney. Each time I return to this place, my faith is re-energized and I find so much joy. Thanks be to God! 62 3
Yesterday was my sister’s birthday. We were supposed to meet for dinner last night, but I took an evening “power nap” that lasted until 2 a.m. 🙊 92 0

I’ve been a Harry Potter fan since childhood, so I was thrilled to tour the Warner Brothers studio outside of London — the place where the Potter film sets are stored, and where much of the filming was done. 199 8
This is a wash closet just outside of Mount Sinai, at one of the last security checkpoints before reaching St. Catherine’s Monastery. I have wondered about the provenance of this toilet facility — Who owns it? There are many possibilities and it could even be government-owned. Perhaps use of the toilet was never meant to cost money, but intrepid people have taken it upon themselves to collect a fee? The facility is not accessible, so I did not ask. 54 0
Pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training TODAY. ⚾️ Baseball is by far my favorite sport, but I haven’t been to a game since the 2019 National League Championship Series in St. Louis. Hopefully I’ll be able to see a game in 2021! Go Cardinals! 69 0
Have you ever just taken a moment to peer outside the window in a big city? Each of those buildings, with their hundreds of windows, balconies and fire escapes — is a place that another human being lives, works, eats, plays, laughs, cries... 51 4
