There’s no shortage of words that have been used over the years to describe Frank Lloyd Wright: brilliant, arrogant, unrivaled, cranky, inspiring, scandalous, or legendary, just to name some. But few can depict him like Roland Reisley. “He became a mentor and a friend,” the retired physicist who later worked in the electronic instrument business, tells AD.

For many, Machu Picchu is one of those once-in-a-lifetime destinations you don't want to miss out on, but believe it or not, there is another nearby site that offers a lot of the same features, but without the crowds: Choquequirao. The ruins of the Incan city Machu Picchu are so popular that Peru has had to cap the number of visitors who are permitted to visit daily. That number is usually 4,500 per day, and with thousands of people trying to experience the thrill of visiting Machu Picchu, it's literally always crowded. That doesn't mean you won't enjoy your trek up Inca Trail, but if you're looking for a quieter journey, you should consider the "sister" site of Choquequirao instead.

Though its capital, Mexico City, is one of the world’s best for culture and cuisine, and the sprawl of Guadalajara represents some of the country’s richest arts and architectural offerings, Mexico’s true charm is best experienced within its small towns. Visit the golden town of Izamal, a tucked-away Maya fortress covered by a Spanish monastery and hidden within the Yucatán Peninsula’s dense jungle canopy. And then there's the diminutive mountain town of Tepoztlán, where the Central Valley’s vast history of Aztec mysticism comes alive. There are so many towns that prove a world of culture awaits in Mexico’s under-the-radar destinations. Wherever you go, natural wonders, intimate eateries, and boutique accommodations await – as do local guides in each destination who are there to show you how to explore their homes responsibly.

How can Astrology tell you about your worst friends? Astrology is the concept of using the placement of the planets and their related astrological signs, or the Signs of the Zodiac, to determine the course of a life. These placements based on your birth date, time, and location can give you a wealth of information about your personality traits and character and predict events throughout your life based on your sign and current placements. Of course, this is a quick overview, and doing actual natal charts and horoscopes is much more complicated. But now you have a basic idea of what astrology is.

5 Zodiac Signs That Could Be Your Worst Friend

Traveling is one of my favorite things to do. It’s right up there with painting. So for 2024 Spring Break, my hubby and I decided to take our kids and go on a tropical vacation. Our kids have been to the Gulf of Mexico in Galveston when we lived in Houston and after, but tropical vacations have alluded us for many years. With our oldest going to graduate in only 3 years, his sister a year below him, and our youngest two years below her, we realized there are only 3 more spring breaks for our whole family left.

We often run across people in our lives who either have a natural healing and calming energy to them and those who seem bent on ruining everything you set out to do whether they mean to or not. Astrology offers a complex and nuanced understanding of personality traits associated with each zodiac sign, attributing both positive and negative aspects to individuals' characters. Among these characteristics, some signs are often hailed for their healing abilities, bringing comfort, peace, and rejuvenation to those around them. Conversely, other signs may possess more destructive tendencies, challenging relationships and personal growth. This article explores the zodiac signs that are traditionally considered the most healing and the most destructive, offering insights into the dual nature of certain astrological influences.

Caitlin Tan wanted to breed her childhood horse, JP, because she’s been “amazing” — the type of animal any equestrian would be lucky to have once in a lifetime. Having access to coveted bloodlines increased the allure. Via the Miller Ranch, she could pair her 18-year-old mare with a stud descendent of Playboy’s Buck Fever.

As far as Italian institutions go, limoncello is relatively new. While its precise origins are unknown and somewhat contested—the Gulf of Naples, Amalfi Coast and Sicily all claim bragging rights—the sweet, highly alcoholic lemon liqueur was likely invented in the early 20th century, growing in popularity until it became one of the most famous ways to end a long, leisurely Italian meal. (Grappa, another iconic Italian liqueur, dates back to the 14th century.)

Cats of Kansas City

Now that we have all had our fill of grilled burgers and fireworks, let's look at some unsung Americans--cats. Did you know that there are nearly 100 million cats living in the United States? I'm not sure who counted all of them, but that's a lot of cats. Enough to sway an election were they given the right to vote (which, of course, they should be). Unfortunately, many of those cats don't have a place to call home. Here are six cats, all in the greater Kanas City area, who would love it if you might consider giving them a bed, a litter box, and a bowl full of kibble.
