TripAdvisor Ap: the traveler’s friend

lets face it, there are a lot of places most of us have never been and I am no exception.

Athens in Greece is a city easy to get lost. Although many speak English as well as bits of this and that… There are other challenges: the Alphabet, the street signs, the narrow streets and the safe yet devil-may-care taxi drivers!

Thiseans that a sane person walks and taxied in Athens!

 

 The trip advisor allows you to down load and entire cities information… Say Athens, allowing you to see your movements toward your destination in real time!

It couldn’t be simpler and the reviews and pictures make decisions and setting priorities easy,

What are you waiting for??

Your real roots are in your DNA

National Geographic has a service to look at your DNA and trace where your ancestors have been over the past 100,000 years…. And who shares some of the genes you have today.

Both my wife and I took the mild test of swabbing the insides of our mouths , paid the ticket and waited for the results! It was fascinating.

Cubanos from Chef Movie @chefthefilm

I always love to try out recipes simple or complex that we see in movies. Sometimes a search is involved, as was the case of an “Aviation” cocktail seen in the “Blacklist” made from a difficult to find liquor!

This was time consuming but not difficult.
