A couple weeks ago I featured a round up of cute dog pictures from around the globe. It was such a hit, and I received so many more pictures that I decided to do a part two. Here’s my contribution: a cute and lonely puppy on a sunny day in Prague. From Adventure Rob: a [...]

If you know me in real life, you probably know that I love dogs. I’ve always loved them and now that I’m headed out on the road and a puppy is something I absolutely can not have, it’s become a kind of obsession. Luckily for me, dogs are pretty universal throughout the world. I can’t [...]

The Colosseum was full of feral cats. I’m a sucker for puppies and kitties so I of course took a bunch of pictures. I didn’t think much more of it until I got a request on flickr to add this photo to the group That Friendly Tabby Cat at the Colosseum. Apparently this gregorious little [...]

The cemetery of Santa Maria Magdalena de Pazzis is one of the most beautiful cemeteries in the world, but also rather problematic to reach. The only way in is through La Perla, a rough neighborhood of San Juan outside of the city walls. La Perla’s problematic history and relative isolation have lead to high crime [...]
