Coctel de Camarones – Yucatan Style Shrimp Cocktail

Sometimes, Just Sometimes you go against your instincts and…..

We had a very easy flight to Mexico and immigration and boarder control in the tourist region of the Yucatan and the ease of which it operates is academic. Our return home however, would be much different.

Sharks, Turtles and Iguanas oh my!

I awoke just before dawn and stepped outside to see our small Colonia street begin to wake up. Off the terrace, I could see a woman sweeping the sidewalk in front of her doorway. Another headed off to work. Further up, headlights lit up as a motorbike purred to life and rolled down the otherwise quiet street.… continue reading Read More

Isla Mujeres – Woman Island

Many years ago, when I was the Chef at Sala in the Virginia Highlands neighborhood of Atlanta. I had a bartender who worked for me named Rafael Barragán. We called him Sapo (frog). Because his weathered face and mushy features in his 60’s, gave him this undeniable resemblance to said creature.… continue reading Read More

Why Do I travel?

Why do I travel? Well, why not? Traveling is different for each individual—some travel to get away, others for business, and yet others to visit family and friends. In addition, we may travel for food or entertainment. However, all of these examples are perfect excuses to hit the roads and skies and explore this beautiful world.… continue reading Read More
