Thank you for taking the time to visit “A Garden in the City”.   We’ve been gardening for a long time and thought we might write about it.   We hope you’ve enjoyed it. 

 

But we have other interests as well.   For one, we love to travel.  True, we often visit gardens wherever we go, but we love traveling in general, so we don’t limit it to gardens.  Over the years, we’ve stayed at everything from a houseboat to a plywood  “cabin” to a suite overlooking a Mexican city to a balcony cabin on a cruise ship.  Hotels, B&Bs, tents – we aren’t particular.   It’s nice to have a view, though.   And although the ad may say the place has a great view, how do you know if that’s true?   So we created “Rooms With Great Views”, where the photo is of the VIEW, not of the room.  Folks send us their photos and we post them, on the average of one per day.  We have over 200 wonderful views now, from well over 50 countries.   If you, too, like to travel, then check out our site.  Be forewarned, though.  Looking at these photos will make you want to go somewhere.  When you get to the bottom of the first page, click on “see more views”.   And don’t forget to check out the map.  It’s at www.roomswithgreatviews.com.  You might even want to send us a photo from your last trip. 

 

Another interest of ours is Spanish.  All things Spanish.  We love the language, and we love the Spanish Speaking countries we’ve visited.   We have long looked for a site where someone could find all the information they needed about each of the Spanish speaking countries AS WELL AS all the resources they would need for learning Spanish.  But we’ve never found such a site.  So we built one – Learn Spanish, Travel Spanish.   If you have an interest in all things Spanish, visit www.learn-spanish-travel-spanish.com.   There are pages for learning Spanish (click on the Learn link), a Blog (written by yours truly), as well as a page for each country and many of the cities of the Spanish speaking world.  For those, click on Travel and then the individual place.  Where else can you find EVERYTHING about a country, from the usual hotel finder, weather and currency converter to the CIA report, the “bathroom diaries”, the CDC report on diseases, the State Department report on safety, as well as pollen information, travel with kids, being a vegetarian traveler, tips on electricity etc, and details regions, including maps.  You can find it here:  www.learn-spanish-travel-spanish.com. 

And in the coming months we hope to do two more websites.  The first is Travel Over 60.  The title says it all.  We’ll examine all aspects of traveling for people over 60.  Did you know that when you reach a certain age, that certain car companies won’t rent you a car?  Also,  we’re taking a cruise soon, and I noticed that on some of the excursions, there are age limits.  Not fitness limits, but age limits.  I know quite a few healthy seniors who could run rings around some of the unhealthy 30 somethings we know.  Go figure.  Anyway…. coming soon.

Also coming soon:  My Nice Little Life.  This one’s more personal.  Subtitle:  How to be happy without being rich.  I’m happy.  With many fits and starts, I feel that I’ve built my life.  Lots of mistakes, but Sherry and I have made a very happy life for ourselves, at working class wages.  This site will examine How to Be Happy through my very personal lens.  

And before I forget, let me mention one other thing.  All of our designs are available on mugs, tee shirts, posters, aprons, what have you.   If you would like to see them, look for the revolving images in the sidebar on the left, about half way down, just under where it tells how many spam comments have been blocked.  Double Click either there or here to our Zazzle Store. Who knows, you might find a nice mug with a Garden in the City Logo.   Thanks. 

And  thanks for visiting THIS site.  Let us know what you’re thinking.
