Rodizio Steak and Pasta Restaurant Barcelo Foodie
Today, I wanted to make a foodie bog about the Rodizio. The Rodizio is a restaurant inside the Barcelo Maya Palace. It does both steak and pasta, just like it says in the sign. Of course, it isn’t fair to summarize the experience in that single sentence. So, I am going to narrate the entire dining experience. This should give you a general idea as to what to expect of your visit. The first thing we had to do was get a reservation. All the fancy restaurants in the Barcelo Resort are by reservations. We chose to dine on...
BJD Mariachi Ballerina Dollmore Odette Photoshoot
Today, I got around to making a new bjd doll photoshoot. The ballerina doll, the wig and the outfit were made by Dollmore. The silly Mariachi hat was bought in Cancun. I was down in Mexico vacationing when I found a few items that would work as props for my bjd photoshoots. The drawer is another one of those props. The fan and the decorative bison skull are also new. It is interesting how adding a bit of color jazzes up the look of any type of skull. Different types of skulls should be painted...

We rendezvous with our group in order to tour the Pyramids. There was a short walk through a small, wooded area. It is important to remember that they pyramids had been swallowed...

Moon Palace Highlights Mexico Cancun
Today, I wanted to write about my Cancun vacation. In specific, I wanted to rant about the Moon Palace. I have written enough about the Barcelo for one lifetime, or two. So, it is time to write about somewhere else. We went to the Moon Palace on a Sunday. A guy in the airport had intercepted us and offered us a tour of this brand-new hotel. Moon Palace is a Mexican Hotel made by Mexicans. So, it has a lot going for it. Like any new hotel, they are trying uber hard to impress you. A car came for...
