A year ago today I shared snaps of autumnal Philadelphia. So here, have some more for autumn 2022.

Happy #WorldElephantDay from #Rajaji National Park in the #Garhwal #Himalayas. This was my second experience with #elephants in the wild, following close encounters on #safari in the Masai Mara. But while an #elephant never forgets, I most certainly do. In this case, forgetting to transfer all my photos from that Kenyan safari over to a new drive before I reformatted the one they were living on, and lost them all!

Happy weekend! Enjoy some Costa Rican critters. Spoiler alert: no sloths. They are much harder to find (especially in the dense, wild jungle I was usually in) than the marketing/tourism board would have you believe! But I’m not complaining, there was always plenty to marvel at.

My final stop in #CostaRica was the #Caribbean coast. #PuertoViejo, a jungle-backed beach town filled with backpackers, laid-back expats and stylish sun-worshippers. I joined the latter category at Hotel Aguas Claras, a plush beachside hotel in a refurbished Victorian mansion filled with decor by the multimedia-artist owner and imbued with a retro-Havana or Palm Springs vibe. Scroll through for a taste of the digs — I’ve included a peek at my tropical dream home, one of the hotel’s villas, on the last slide.
