Photo Essay: Yosemite National Park, California

I had occasion to visit Yosemite National Park in California recently. The only downside to seeing the park in fall is that it’s quite dry, which means the famous waterfalls are almost nonexistent. You have to be there during the spring to see the falls in all their glory. Still, there’s plenty to love about Yosemite year-round.

Here are some of my favorite photos.

Some of rum’s history isn’t pretty. Rum or rhum – depending on whether you’re in an English or French-speaking area – is the Caribbean’s most frequently produced spirit. It’s also produced in the Southern USA and Central and South America. Every island and every country where sugarcane is grown make their own version of the spirit in varying qualities, alcoholic content, and price ranges.
