More LA Times Travel Show

March 19, 2011 by Dave1 Comment

As always Los Angeles is a study in contrasts and that is the beauty of this incredible city. I'm just as comfortable at an exclusive party at a secret location on one of the blvd's in Hollywood or Beverly Hills as I am slurping up Menudo or enjoying Horchatas at a small taco stand in the heart of South Central or Watts. I'm always in town every year for the annual LA Times Travel Show. Like many things that are "big" in LA, this the largest … [Read more...]

Feria de Sevilla

March 15, 2011 by Miss MociLeave a Comment

On November 16, 2010 UNESCO declared the Flamenco World Cultural Heritage, to be more precise it was declared to one of the Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity and I could not think of a more respectable acknowledgment.
