January's Letter To The Readers

To our devote Reader,

     New Year's is a time to look back and reminisce on the events that have shaped the previous year.  For most Americans it has been a year of good times and bad.  We have had a magnificent Olympics, a great presidential election (I was on the fence till the end) and an amazing year in film (The Hobbit, Les miserables, 007, The Avengers, Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter, and the list goes on and on).  We also have endured great tragedys like Hurricane Sandy and several horrific shootings.  This year has sure had its ups and downs.  For me it has been a great year.  I have been tapas hoping in the Gothic Quarter in Barcelona, I got to ride an elephant to an abandon palace in the desert of west India, and I was able to soak up the sun on a beach in Ipanema.  it has definitely been a very memorable year.

      So as we look ahead to the up coming year I hope to keep bringing you interesting stories of my travels and provide you with tips to make that next trip incredible.  This month, I plan on featuring articles about my home town of Denver, Colorado and the plethora of activities that the place has in abundance.  I will take you the the majestic rock formations of Red Rock, share with you the innovative art of Vincent Van Gogh and have a pint of ale at one of the many micro brews that "The Mile High City" has to offer.

     From all of us at The Thrifty Adventurer, we hope that 2013 will be a year full of memorable moments, good times, and magnificent trips.  Above all else, we hope that you will have a Happy New Years!
