...Discovered in 1941, this hidden canyon in the Kronotsky Nature Preserve is one of the world's geothermal wonders. Rickety boardwalks snake through a hell's kitchen of bubbling mud pots in rainbow hues of ocher, pea green and blue gray; of steaming fumaroles puffing from deep crevasses; and of more than 200 geysers, some of which spout boiling water over 30 meters into the air. Similarly dramatic was the nearby Uzon Caldera, a 15-sq-km geothermal field where we bathed in a warm, sulfurous-smelling pond. As we coated ourselves with the mud, thinking "spa," our cook, Elena...

Rickety boardwalks snake through a hell's kitchen of bubbling mud pots in rainbow hues of ocher, pea green and blue gray; of steaming fumaroles puffing from deep crevasses; and of more than 200 geysers, some of which spout boiling water over 100 ft. into the air. Similarly dramatic was the nearby Uzon Caldera, a 6-sq.-mi. geothermal field where we bathed in a warm sulfurous-smelling pond. As we coated ourselves with mud, thinking "spa," our cook, Lukyanova...
...siesta is in effect for most stores. If the hustle for clothes and culture leaves no time for a sit-down lunch, there are two traditional dishes that are worth a taste from street vendors and caf?s: a giant suppli, a rice-filled croquette with sizzled beef and peas, and a pane e panelle sandwich of lightly fried chick-pea flour with freshly squeezed lemon. Ice cream is consistently good too, and for a local treat order it up in a fresh-baked brioche. But if you really came looking for trouble, and have an afternoon to kill...
Sipping one of Dado’s Bubble Teas, it’s easy to be grateful for her choice. A Taiwanese favorite, the Bubble Tea ($3.50) has grown in popularity in the US, spreading east from California. It features pea-sized pearls of rice tapioca at the bottom of the glass that shoot through the extra-wide straw into your mouth like glutinous bullets. Bubble teas are often made from a powder that gives them a syrupy sweetness, but at Dado, they’re made with loose tea leaves that give the drink a delicate flavor...
...concern for reality. By 1905 many Parisian critics still found the color combinations emerging from this Postimpressionist art peculiar. Matisse and his French followers, André Derain and Maurice de Vlaminck, were nicknamed les fauves (the wild beasts) because they painted lemon yellow and lime green skies above pea green seas upon which sailed geranium red boats. There was another wild color that these Fauves used: white. In Alfred Sisley's Impressionist view of Willows on the Banks of the Orvanne (1883), we see pollarded willows in their May foliage, fresh leaves shimmering in a breeze. In part...
