Hanging Out in San Fran
Like the Beat writers of the 50s, we had been lured by the European atmosphere of the area, which had been created by a 19th century wave of immigrants who wanted in on the Gold Rush. It was the Italians who took hold; stayed on and opened bakeries and restaurants. This was the perfect spot to indulge our craving for San Fran's North End.[GO]

2004 Mazda RX-8
By its very nature, a sports
car should only have two doors and rear seats capable of handling nothing more than a few small grocery bags. So why then does the Mazda RX-8 offer four doors and comfortable seating for up to four adults? Surely an engineer somewhere in Japan, is having a good laugh at the expense of his automotive colleagues.

Fast forward to some of today's heart pounders that can tease a wannabe owner to the edge of frustration, and you might just be tempted to ask, "Will driving ever be the same?"

Whether bold and brash, or sleek and sinewy, these sensuous hunks of gorgeous metal can elicit a breathtaking response from just about everyone with an ounce of true passion. [SEXY CARS]



In Awe of St. Lucia's Beauty
It's impossible not to be in awe of St. Lucia's beauty. Here, nature's artistry is the envy of any mere mortal. Though volcanic in origin, the only visible evidence of its chaotic birth is the occasional black sand beach, the steaming sulfur springs of the walk-in volcano and the signature twin green peaks of the Pitons.
