Xcaret Maya Cemetery Cancun Mexico
Today, I wanted to write about my visit to Xcaret. More specifically, I wanted to focus on my impression of the Maya Cemetery. It is odd to treat a cemetery as a tourist destination. Regardless, there you have it. I didn’t linger much in the place. It had a creepy vibe about it. Then again, most cemeteries are rather creepy, and possibly haunted. I first visited this cemetery a few years ago. It was before the pandemic. There were a lot fewer graves. This time it seemed a little more crowded. At night, the place looked extra spooky....

It has all the core ingredients for you to make the best tacos...
Tulum Revisited Highlights Travel Tourism
Last July, I revisited Tulum with my family. On our second visit, we had more time to fool about. We arrived there pretty early in the morning. Despite the early time, it was pretty hot.

Closeup and Faraway Random Artsy Photos
Today, I wanted to show you some photos I took a bit of a long time ago. They had been originally posted in my Blogger website. Since my blogger went the way of the dinosaur, I figured I would post it in my Artsy Sister website. Without any more introductions, I wanted to show you some closeup photos that I took. When I was in Florida International University, I took a photography class as part of my Journalism Major. Such a class wasn’t required for my major. Still, I figured that a journalist should learn...
Sazon Cubano Restaurant Travel Miami Beach Flans and Three Milks
Today, I wanted to write about what I ate this weekend. I went up to Miami Beach with my family. Once the rains came, we got like super hungry. So, we decided to eat at Sazon Restaurant. They are under new management, so the food is a little different. We started with the appetizers, mariquitas. They are chips made of banana. You have two choices of dip: mojo and black beans grounded into a fine paste. Mother had pork and my brother had a sandwich. Mine was made of chicken. It was really yummy, with all the elements in...
