COASTAL LIFE & TRAVEL
A big part of my life has been spent living by the sea.... first on the Texas Gulf Coast and later on the Southern California Coast. As an professional photographer, I had taken hundreds of photos over the years of "life by the sea" and decided to put it in a permanent book form to pass along to my friends and family.
Now, this amazing collection is available to the public in a hardcover book titled, "SeaScapes".This video is a "sneak peak" of what you will find inside of more than 130 pages of breath-taking images and photographs that vividly represent the "SeaScapes" I have seen throughout my life.

SHOULD AMTRAK BE PRIVATIZED?
There is talk from DOGE that Amtrak must be privatized to save government money. Last year Amtrak only received less than $2 billion dollars in government funding and had a ridership of more than 32 million, the largest since 1962. Even most of European train lines are government owned. It's time to expand the service, not kill it. Check out this article..

BREAKING NEWS! Amtrak received the same amount of Federal funding as last year at $2.42 billion!

“On behalf of the hard-working Amtrak team who moves more than 32 million passengers across the United States each year, we are pleased to see the $2.42B in FY25 funding allocated to continue Amtrak services and maintenance work. This annual funding supports the operation of our trains and maintenance of our tracks, bridges, tunnels, and other assets each year. We look forward to receiving this funding as soon as possible so we can continue to work with the Trump Administration and Congress to serve America and support the economy.”

THE ADVENTURE IS ON!!
As many of you know, one of my great passions is traveling by train. Today I began the first step of my next great adventure, a 6,500 mile adventure around the western United States by purchasing tickets for the first major segment - from Central Texas to LA. This will be an early summer trip that will require a lot of planning. Of course, I will be sharing my journey with all of you here and on my YouTube channel, which has now reached over 10k viewers. I am beyond excited. Stay tuned for more updates!!

LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!
We vacationed here for 2 weeks. It's a small village on the Mediterranean just north of Valencia. Not your typical European vacation location, since mostly Spaniards vacation here, so the crowds are small. It has a beautiful castle that sits on a cliff over looking the sea and the city. Their "claim-to-fame" was that Hollywood once used this town in 1961 for a movie staring Charlton Heston and Sofia Loren... "El Cid".

Peñiscola, una ciudad realmente encantadora
