Travel: Why Mazatlan has me rethinking Mexico
My visit to Mazatlan, a coastal city in the state of Sinaloa, came a couple months after this column warned readers about visiting the country. And yes, Sinaloa is the home of that Sinaloa — the notorious cartel and drug traffickers.
Travel: Postcard from Victoria, Kansas
If there is one place in Kansas that looks and feels like somewhere in Europe then this is the place.
Travel: Postcard from Golden, Colorado
I’m in an old mining town located where Colorado’s plains meet the mountains. As the iconic arch that spans Washington Avenue — the main street in all but name — proclaims, this is also “where the West lives.”

Anyone who has ever done a cross-country road trip on Interstate Highway 70 has passed through Abilene, Kansas. Notwithstanding all the small-town charm, which is in and of itself a draw, Abilene’s real claim to fame is General of the Army and President Dwight David Eisenhower (1890-1969).
Travel: Postcard from Fort Benton, Montana

As summer ends and fall begins, this column looks at three destinations to visit.

Travel: Postcard from Uppsala, Sweden
This college town about 43 miles from the Swedish capital of Stockholm is more than just a day trip destination. My visit to Uppsala came earlier this month before 50,000 students returned for classes at the 546-year-old Uppsala University, the oldest university in Scandinavia.

Like other places previously featured in this column, Sault Ste. Marie is off-the-beaten-path.
