 The
Florida Keys by MotorcycleAnybody who’s experienced Florida’s Keys from the seat of a motorcycle knows: There’s no better way to enjoy the islands than on two wheels. You’ll feel the sun on your skin; smell the tang of swamps; enjoy unobstructed views of pure-turquoise water. Your hair will get snarled and your nose will get sunburned. In a car, you’ll pass through the Keys; on a motorcycle, you’ll be part of them. Begin your adventure in Miami. U.S. 1 runs from Miami directly to the Keys, but follow Card Sound Road through mangroves and sawgrass instead of heavy traffic. In Key Largo, the road rejoins U.S. 1, which will take you all the way to Key West. You’ll find the islands warmly welcome bikers as a rule, but here’s a look at the best motorcycling stops. Take a break to eat at the Pilot House in Key Largo. The restaurant serves fresh seafood on tables of white linen, but you’ll feel welcome wearing leather and carrying a helmet. A more stereotypical biker joint is Hog Heaven in Islamorada, where drinks and a full menu are served nightly until 3:30 a.m. The dockside bar attracts locals and is decorated with motorcycle art. The Islamorada Fish Co. has caught and served its own seafood since 1948, and is known for stone crabs and fish sandwiches. The restaurant offers indoor seating, but why do that when you can dine on the docks and look out over Florida Bay? Two miles south, the Islander offers spacious rooms with kitchenettes and screened lanais, fresh- and saltwater pools and watersport rentals: kayaks, catamarans and aqua cycles ...» |

 The
highlands of TurkeyThe highlands of Turkey and the lifestyle of its people have an important place in the rich cultural landscape of Turkey. The tradition embodied in the lyrics of this ancient folk song, "The people of Avşar picked up and headed for new lands" have still being sung today, is what led to the settlement of hundreds of new areas in Turkey. In the Chinese Chronicles, Turks are described as people that "lived by following the rains and the pastures with their horses and high-wheeled wagons." After they came to Anatolia and abandoned their nomadic wanderings for more settled ways, they embarked on a new journey continuing old traditions within the parameters of a new lifestyle. In this new millennium of the "global village" where cultural differences seem to be disappearing, the highlands of Turkey offer a refreshing authenticity of ancient tradition which is noticed as soon as it is experienced. Compared with our modern way of life, it is a vivacious way of life in harmony with nature, at once both oriental and exotic. The highlands have much to offer; the fresh clean air of an undefiled environment, crystal clear streams, a refreshing coolness that is a relief from the sweltering heat during the hottest summer days, views of enchanting beauty, fruit and vegetables grown without hormones and ripen on the vine slowly and naturally, milk and meat products of animals pastured in the most natural environments. The innumerable wild animal and plant species living in their natural habitat rescue us from the virtual world of TV documentaries and enable us to experience real life up close and personal ...» |
