I took off my life-preserver device and decided to dive. A deep breath and I left the surface to swim towards the bottom. Not very deep, only a few meters down, I touched, turned and planned to return to the surface. I looked up. Magical. Sunbeams penetrated the clear crisp water and shined on my […]

The Fountain of Banamex, Santa Fe, Mexico City
Fountains. I am a fan. I always find myself taking a break to relax, unwind, and enjoy the cityscape around fountains. Big, small, historic, or just simply communal – fountains inspire and energize. When in Mexico City, I worked as a consultant for Banamex. And when I think of my favorite spots in Mexico City […]
Mexican Independence Day in San Miguel de Allende
All cities contain weekend escapes, places within a driving distance where people can unwind and spend time away from city life. Mexico City is no different.

The El Fogon Conclusion – Great Tacos in Playa del Carmen
At times walking the streets of Playa del Carmen one can start to think they are vacationing in Italy. Yes, Italy. Surprised? Well, have you been to Playa lately? Italians top the list of foreign ownership and that translates into many Italian restaurants. Pizza appears on nearly every block with pasta specials on nearly every menu across […]
