What a view! Seattle’s Kerry Park – Micsoda kilátás! A Kerry park Seattle-ben
Do you want the most breathtaking view of Seattle? Go to Kerry Park on top of Queen Anne Hill. It’s popular both for visitors and residents in any season, but especially on sunny days.
California weekend – Kaliforniai hétvége
After our busy end of September workdays, Steve and I took a quick trip to visit our family in the sunny Sacramento area.
Snowmen – Hóemberek
Look whom I met today around Green Lake! Some were standing on the shore, others were sitting on benches, and there was one who was already defeated.
Walk around Green Lake in the winter – Téli séta a Green Lake tó körül
This morning, walking around the lake meant walking in the snow. Winter walks in Seattle usually don’t involve snow – rain mainly, or chilly, dry conditions. But lots of show fell during the night, and I wanted to see the local winter wonderland as soon as possible.
Against winter blues – Téli szomorúság ellen
How to deal with the gray January skies in Seattle? Explore the beautiful Arboretum where the striking colors of the winter blooming shrubs and trees will put you in a good mood.
A little luxury in Tana – Egy kis luxus Tanában
When you are on the streets of Antananarivo (Tana) – the capital of Madagascar – for the first time, you don’t really know what to expect in terms of your accommodation. We spent four nights here in two, completely different hotels. Both felt a little bit out of place.
Rainforest leaves – Levelek az esőerdőben
I was overwhelmed by the beauty off the leaves of the majestic rainforest on the tropical island of Nosy Mangabe on Madagascar.
A forester in Madagascar – Egy erdész Madagaszkáron
Written by my husband, Steve: Okay, I have a confession to make. Even though I am a trained wildlife biologist, my actual (first) degree reads; “Bachelor of Science in Forest Resources.” It mostly reflects the fact that I obtained my degree through the College of Forest Resources at the University of Washington, not that I was planning on becoming a professional forester!
Andasibe-Mantadia National Park – Andasibe-Mantadia Nemzeti Park
Would you be able to describe the world-famous indri? It’s one of the largest living lemurs, lives only on Madagascar, it’s the only tailless lemur, and has a peculiar loud call. One place where you can find it is this national park.
Vakôna Forest Lodge and “Lemur Island” – A Vakôna erdei ház és a lemúr sziget
The Vakôna Forest Lodge close to Andasibe provides not only accommodation, but also a tour of its private reserve. We arrived here, in east-central Madagascar, after a three-hour drive from Antananarivo. We were eager to explore the reserve and have some fun.
