| Toward Planet 2.0 | Update: The Plastiki got underway on March 20, 2010. You can follow her progress on Twitter: @DRExplore. We happen upon her as the sun is nearly tucking behind the hills across the bay. All we intend is to toast this perfect Sausalito spring day with chilled glasses of gewurz, but […]

At its highest expressions, south-of-the-border cuisine can, of course, be as subtle and complex as an Octavio Paz poem. But like other […]
