With Semana Santa just a week away, this is becoming a common sight. Costalero practice. Usually done late at night or on Sunday mornings, to avoid disrupting traffic. I’d sure hate to be the guy in the middle…

This ALWAYS grosses me out. Bread baskets re-stacked and reused after being on dirty tables, bar stools, even the floor… never cleaned, the serviettes lining them rarely changed. And in the worst case scenarios, unused bread gets “recycled”. Does this happen in other countries?

A Conversation with Obama. Thoughtful, intelligent, inspiring… l could go on and on. It was such an honour and pleasure to spend an hour listening to this living legend.

The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) Global Summit is the world’s most influencial travel and tourism event and I’m thrilled to have been invited as one of the local delegates.
Here’s a pic from the welcome reception party… stay tuned for (hopefully) some of Obama! He’s speaking on Wednesday afternoon. 🙂

It’s hard to believe it’s been ten years since I met these guys. This week Jeanine and Juan, the husband and wife team behind La Azotea, are celebrating ten years since they opened their first bar/restaurant in calle Jesús del Gran Poder. Since then they have opened three more, as well as having two children, and they also run a successful catering business. Well done, you two, and happy 10th anniversary!
