New York City’s St. Paul’s Chapel and Cemetery

Two headstones in the sun

St. Paul’s Chapel was built in 1766 and is the oldest surviving place of worship in the city. George Washington, along with members of the United States Congress, worshiped at St. Paul’s Chapel on his Inauguration Day, April 30, 1789. “The little chapel that stood.”

Galapagos Islands — Nature Undisturbed

I was very fortunate to travel to South America recently, and more specifically, to the Galapagos Islands. This chain of islands reminds me of what Hawaii must have been like in its infancy. To compare, the Hawaiian islands chain ranges in age from 80 to 5 (Kauai) million years old, while the Galapagos Islands range from approximately 4.2 to 3.2 million years old.
