A whim landed us in the state of Wisconsin. Situated by two of the Great Lakes (Michigan and Superior) and renowned for its plentitude of dairies and farmland, we were welcomed with pleasant weather on entering this Midwestern land. Madison We flew into Chicago and then drove about 150 miles […]
February 2018. The temperature outside was -15C (5F). Sleet was imminent, and it was the coldest winter day we’d ever experienced. Yet a 500-mile drive to one of Canada’s most vibrant cities, Toronto, beckoned. But very less compares to a long road trip complete with cheesy popcorn and soul music, […]
Every year, as a ritual, we take trains, flights or long road trips just to be with our people, our family and near and dear ones. 2017 was no different, and this time, it took us all the way to LA. Morning We booked a house on Airbnb, in a […]
Imprinted in northern Arizona’s midst is the most majestic sight of them all – the Grand Canyon National Park; a panorama of rockscape, a jewel in the rough, a wonderland. Late fall, 2017. Dusk It was in the final hours of the evening that we entered the south rim of […]
Our mid-Atlantic adventure began on a profoundly warm day in the angelic light of dawn.

Enter the world of beignets We waited, no preconceived notions, in a mile long queue outside the doors of the 1800s coffee house, Café du Monde, on a warm midwinter day. An hour later, as we wandered into the cozy semi-outdoor setting, towards our table, we inhaled an onrush of […]
Touchdown. One angelic November noon. Instant west coast vibe. Weather, unconditionally warm (compared to the bone-chilling winds encountered in Boston). Here are some of our favourite moments spent in the delightful northern half of the republic of California: City of SFOThe metro buzzed with life while it bathed in moonlight […]
“We find ourselves back to the things that matter the most. The universe is funny that way. Sometimes it just has a way of making sure that we wind up exactly where we belong.” Arches National Park Our eyes drank in a fine overview of a series of arch and […]
From Catawba island, we ferried (Miller line) our hybrid Diamondbacks as the sun danced on the gentle waters of Erie, one among the Great Lakes. On arrival, a bike map was drawn that covered a loop around the isle measuring less than a few square miles in area, and off […]
