		<description><![CDATA[by Irene Butler Published in Travel Writers Tales e-zine It’s never too early to check out the goings on of the Clause Family and their Merry Elves… Santa has been sneaking away from the mall on certain days during December. The paparazzi found him gleefully swinging from the side-ladder of the powerful engine of the Verde Canyon Railroad Train in Clarkdale Arizona. Much laughter and singing resounded from within the coaches on these days, and there were sightings of Mrs. Clause and Elfie through the train&#8217;s panoramic windows.

		<description><![CDATA[By Irene Butler Published in TravelLady E-Zine and Beyond 50 Magazine &#8220;All Aboard,&#8221; crowed the conductor. My husband Rick and I jauntily moved with the crowd toward the coaches. We sank down into comfy window seats. The powerful eagle-decaled engines of the Verde Canyon Train rolled smoothly out of the Clarkdale Station for a four-hour round trip to Perkinsville Ranch &#8211; through a wilderness that can only be seen from these rails. Towering sentinels of black slag sided the tracks as we left the station. A vivid reminder that this line was built in 1912 to haul copper ore from the Clarkdale Smelter to the main Santa Fe line, for shipping to markets throughout the country. It also shuttled workers and supplies to the once thriving mining town of Jerome, until the two area mines closed in 1953. Descending into what is known as &#8220;the other Grand Canyon&#8221; a panorama of crimson cliffs rose in breathtaking splendour. My breath caught as we overlooked a steep drop to where rapidly flowing rivers and creeks snaked between Cottonwood and Sycamore trees.

		<description><![CDATA[Published in Travellady On Line Magazine Water drips off his wide-brimmed hat and from the hem of his long black coat, though there is not a cloud in the night sky. Seen through the wrought iron side-gate of the Alamo he stands motionless beside the old church, one of the few remaining original structures. Some say as they looked into his shadowy face their eyes fleetingly connected with his chilling black orbs before he vanished. During the last days of the legendary battle of 1836, in which all 189 defenders were killed, Commander William B. Travis reported relentless heavy rains&#8230;&#8230;.

		<description><![CDATA[Published in Travellady online Magazine Scouring a map for a southern vacation niche, my husband Rick pointed to a dot on the Gulf of Mexico saying, &#8220;Corpus Christi has a nice ring&#8221;. A bit of investigation revealed it had enough sand, surf and delightful amenities to fit our classification of &#8220;glorious&#8221;. Gaining its appellation from the Roman Catholic feast day on which Spanish explorer Alonzo Alverez de Pineda discovered the area, we arrived in the only city so named on the planet. On our very first morning, we headed out of the city proper and over the bridge to Padre, the world&#8217;s longest barrier island, with a phenomenal 70 miles of beach. Part of Padre&#8217;s appeal is for what it does not have &#8211; crowds &#8211; with the exception of an influx of college students during spring break&#8230;&#8230;.

		<description><![CDATA[Published in The Surrey Now, The Coquitlam Now, Vancouver 24 Hour Magazine and Travellady Magazine For decades artists and artisans have been lured by the beauty of the Sangre de Christo Mountains and solitude of the high desert mesa. Since the early 1920&#8242;s painters and photographers were drawn to capture the monumental adobe multistoried dwellings of Taos Pueblo, resplendent in the ever changing hues of the area&#8217;s remarkable quality of light. Leaving the parched New Mexico lowlands, my husband Rick and I drove upward through dense pine forests to overnight at Taos city at an elevation of 6970 ft. &#8220;Adobe City&#8221; is its well-suited moniker as stores and homes, and even some major hotels are constructed with adobe (earth mixed with water and straw formed into bricks, finished with a smooth layer of clay). Taos is also known for alternative healing modalities; crystal vibrations and iridology (study of the eye&#8217;s iris), to name a few. Four schools of Tibetan Buddhism operate here. The locals were quick to tell us of famous people who have hide-a-ways in the surrounding hills. All, who seek renewal of heart and soul flock to this Mecca. But the Taos Indians were the first to find [...]]]></description>
