Dear Reader,
This month’s Travel Post starts out at a little farm-to-taco eatery located in the “boho-chic” part of Georgetown in Washington, D.C. Chaia serves creatively healthy vegetarian tacos at prices that are surprisingly reasonable for normally-pricey Georgetown.
“In 1936, a soon-to-be-disgraced king vacationing along the Croatian coastline discovered skinny dipping and sun worshipping in the buff…” That royal scandal appears to have started a trend which thrives to this day in Croatia.
Tourism is booming in Canada this year as part of the country’s 150th Anniversary of Confederation. The world-renowned Butchart Gardens in the beautiful city of Victoria is high on the list of places to visit.
Our next writer gives us the highlights of her seven-day exploration of northern Italy. A renovated medieval castle served as her home base throughout the trip.
Cabo San Lucas has a reputation for being a tourist trap and a spring break mecca, but according to our writer, it’s still possible to create an “off the beaten path” vacation there “if you seek out lesser-known businesses and attractions and places where the locals congregate.”
Read these stories — and see the great photos that go with them — below.
Safe travels,

What you will find is quite possibly the best vegetarian tacos in Washington, D.C.
