Habana on Bicycle by Elito Review
Two weeks ago, my mother got this cool painting from her childhood friend Elito. The two grew up together, and recently they started talking again. That is the old magic of facebook, bringing old friends together. Anyhow, he offered to give mom one of his paintings as a gift. Since it was my brother's house, mom asked bro to pick the painting.

It is not as if they put...
Teppanyaki Restaurant in Punta Cana's Bahia Principe
