Travel: Postcard from Plymouth, England
As I learned during a return visit this summer, the real draw in Plymouth is the centuries of maritime history. It goes well beyond the Mayflower, whose sailing from here 424 years ago on Sept. 16 was a historical fluke.
Travel: In the middle of nowhere on Lake Superior, a city defined by industry
“Nobody really comes here,” the waiter at my hotel said. “People only stop when they’re driving through.” I heard that a lot during my recent three-night visit to Thunder Bay on the north shore of Lake Superior in Ontario, Canada.
Travel: Postcard from Gothenburg, Sweden
Sweden’s second city is often overlooked. For those willing to make one or even two connections, this city along the Swedish West Coast is well worth the detour.

Travel: Postcard from France’s Dordogne

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.”
Travel: Postcard from Fort Benton, Montana
The westward expansion that Lewis and Clark ignited would put Fort Benton on the map. The trappers, traders and pioneers who followed over the ensuing decades made it the birthplace of Montana.
