Off the Beaten Path

It's time again for Travel Tuesday!

Each week, Bonnie, Melanie and I will spotlight a different post that caught our eye in the previous Travel Tuesday link up.  This week I'm featuring Mackenzie from Bell Bliss and her class at the Baan Thai Cookery School.  We love Thai and what better way to learn how to make it than at a cooking school in Thailand!!  How fun!


I love seeing all the major sites of a travel destination, but there is something to be said for getting off the beaten path.  You get a better feel of the country, it's locals and their culture.


We began this tradition early on in our travels.  One of my fondest memories is walking through a residential area of Venice.  Kids playing football in the narrow streets, laundry hanging between buildings giving a glimpse of Italian life.


While living in Prague, before our kids came along, I loved getting out to explore the city.

I'd see a quiet cobblestone street and follow it to see where it led.

Over time I learned the back streets and short cuts to make my way across the city so as not to encounter the crowds.

It was just as beautiful and a bit quieter, but still in the middle of it all.

Do you have a favorite place where you've gotten off the beaten path?
