Old San Juan, Puerto Rico
It was nice to tour Old San Juan. The old part of this city is truly made for walking. At only 1x2 miles you can easily cover most of the old town in 1/2 a day. This is the location to the oldest "western" history in the New World. Buildings date back to the 1520's. The Cristobal Fort is a highlight with fantastic views overlooking the ocean especially when those big tropical billowing white clouds build up in the distance. Construction on this … [Read more...]
5 things you must do in Rio De Janeiro
As Easter weekend is just around the corner - I thought I would share with you how I spent my Easter in Rio. While Brazil is a country that I know is stunning and has many cities to visit, as well as one of the world's largest waterfalls, there is a lot to see I will have to return for. Last Easter, I simply flew down for the weekend (wouldn't recommend changing hemisphere's for three days unless you have to) to see my 7th and final world … [Read more...]
The 17th Super Bock Super Rock in Lisbon
Since it is never too early to find out about big music events and festival season is about to kick off, let's turn our attention to Lisbon, Portugal because from July 14th until the 16th it will host the 17th edition of the Super Bock Super Rock, one of the biggest rock festivals in Portugal. I have to be a bit more precise, as the actual place of the festival is Meco, Sesimbra which is about 40km away from Lisbon which make this an … [Read more...]
Foodie Field Trip: Los Alamos
For our first field trip, we headed to Los Alamos, about an hour south of San Luis Obispo and an hour north of Santa Barbara. Rolling the dice for a sunny weekend with dry pavement after a solid week of gray rain, we scored with great weather on Sunday and a pleasant loop road ride through the hills east of town along Cat, Foxen, and Alisos Canyons. But before the sunshine, the rain had a few more things to say. Gloomy Saturdays are made for … [Read more...]

Feria de Sevilla
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. The Flamenco is a hallmark for Spanish culture, especially for the south of Spain, and goes far beyond music and dance. Some would call it a way of life or an attitude. It embodies passion and seduction. … [Read more...]
Antisocial Media: iPad Madness Causing Holiday Sadness?
The age of antisocial media is upon us. A recent online MyDestinationInfo.com (http://www.mydestinationinfo.com/) survey, conducted by YouGov, revealed that 30% of UK holidaymakers who use a portable multimedia device update their Facebook status when on holiday, while 26% check their social feeds and 8% tweet (of those holidaymakers updating Facebook, women are busiest: 35% compared to 25% of men). Even more startlingly, 48% of the … [Read more...]
Dinner & Dancing: Brazil
This is a guest post from Rachel who runs Central Coast Foodie in San Luis Obispo, California USA. In regards to her mention of Capirinhas - we've been making those this week and using Germana, a traditional Brazilian Cachaca. Perhaps this is too strong a Cachaca, it certainly doesn't taste like the awesome ones I had down in Sao Paulo - if anyone has other recommendations let us know? This drink sure requires a lot of sugar! *** Happy Mardi … [Read more...]
