Barcelona and Montpellier
My first time in Europe was more than I expected. Sonia and I traveled to Barcelona, Spain and Montpellier, France for 11 days and did everything any traveler could wish for. Our trip consisted of 3 days in Barcelona, then we took the rail to Montpellier for the next 4 days, and back to Barcelona for the last 4 days. During our trip we met many people, listened to many local musicians and ate all the goodies we could find locally. Although it was easy to communicate most of time, once in France I was basically mute the whole time. My limited vocabulary consisted of ‘merci’ and ‘bonjour’. Fortunately Sonia had taken some French lesson back in high school or we’d be completely lost. (more…)
Cancun, Mexico
On the Summer of 2007 I visited Cancun Mexico with Sonia and two other friends we’ve met online many years ago. During our 7-day stay we took a few tourist must-see trips, but mostly we stayed at around the beach and hotel area, and ate lots of tacos (Taco Factory). The trips were so tiring and took most of the day, we decided we’d only take two. We went to, now one of the seven wonders of the world, Chichen Itza mayan ruins and Xcaret, an ecological park.

New York, New York
On August 2006 I traveled to New York for 4 days. I took this trip with a good friend, Ruben, who had already visited this place before. New York is an awesome place to visit, as there is much history everywhere you look, and there are so many places to explore. New York is crazy day and night, with its non-stop road construction, 24-hour cafe’s, and events happening all the time.
During my 4-day stay in the city I did everything a tourist could wish for. I visited Time Square, Wall Street, Central Park, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Empire State Building, Broadway, and took many tours on those two-story buses. Although the weather was not the best, as it was raining 50% of the time, it didn’t slow us down. The subway is a great way to travel. I wish we had a subways in LA instead of freeways, at least I’d be able to take a little nap on my way to work. (more…)
