This ‘re-envisioning’ of Michael Wanzie’s wildly successful comedy includes a cast of Central Florida’s favorite actresses – Peg O'Keef, Beth Marshall, Blue Star, and ‘Miss Sammy’ Singhaus. “There is more than steel to these Magnolias” in this story – along with comic references to a community within walking distance of the theatre. Tonight is the FINAL night at The Abbey. Visit abbeyorlando.com.

Originating in Tuscany (about an hour away) we can't resist sharing this mouthwatering recipe at our farmhouse during summer cooking classes with dinner alfresco - using our plump and juicy homegrown piccadilly, datorini & cherry tomatoes!

Located on an alleyway a block before the main drag in Saugatuck is a portal to the UK. What is this portal, you ask? None other than long-time local favorite Chequers. It's a British pub that takes you straight to England.

Context, organizer of critically acclaimed walking tours, expands its program in Vienna with Gilded Ambition: a Tour of Schönbrunn Palace, a walk within the spectacular interiors of the Habsburgs’ summer residence and a close consideration of the interwoven history of the Habsburg Monarchy.
 

Wandering Educators: I saw this post on street food in Mongolia, and knew it would be a perfect match for your interests (and travels). I asked the UB Post if we could republish it; indeed as you can see, they said yes.
