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 […]
Photo: El Angel de la Independencia
The view from the hotel suite where I spent many of my nights when I called Mexico City home faced the “Paseo de la Reforma,” the main artery of the city. And although the traffic caused headaches and at time heartaches to the me along with the other 20+ million that call DF home, in […]
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. Within driving distance (once outside the city traffic) you can find yourself sunning on the beaches of Acapulco, exploring the mountains and forests of Michocan, or walking the colonial […]
The Tequila Triple Play
In social circles, people often ask, “so, what is your favorite drink?” And perhaps I have too many. But if I needed to make a choice, a spirit to spend my days on the deserted island with, my choice, my Blue Agave friend. Si, Tequila. Many might not be surprised, after all Mexico and me do […]
Seamless, Sustainable Green Travel at Hacienda Tres Rios

The private path to the main hotel entrance might be considered a touch more “natural” than others, but when you arrive at the main reception area, no doubt exists. You booked a luxury resort. At first […]
Postcard – The Man from Malpica, Mexico
On a special “MexMonday,” (it’s Mexico bicentennial celebration week) I wanted to post a photo that’s special to me. Not solely because of the substance, but also because it enabled me to meet a great community of people who promote Mexico. People I now call my friends. On an excursion to visit some of the […]
Sunset Sunday – Mazatlán Magic in Nuevo Mazatlán
After a few very busy days in Sinaloa, specifically Mazatlán I suddenly realized I had yet to take in a sunset. And it’s on the Pacific coast of Mexico too. But then, perhaps aided by the pearl of wisdom found in a few Oysters, I decided to not find the time, but make the time to […]
A Mexican Pipeline Birthday
I take my birthday off every year. That did not change this year and was no different during the days when I called Mexico City my home. That year, I decided my September surf session would not be at the Jersey Shore or Fire Island, but in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca. “Puerto,” as it is charmingly […]
