36 Hours in Mexico City - New York Times

There's a lot of energy coming out of Mexico City...and the NY Times has figured part of this out. Check out the article link below to see what is brewing south of the border/frontera.

36 Hours in Mexico City - New York Times

MEXICO CITY seems to do no wrong lately, at least when it comes to its cultural exports. The city's indie filmmakers have exploded onto the international stage this year. Alejandro González Iñarritu's “Babel” won the Golden Globe's Best Picture award and received seven Academy Award nominations. Alfonso Cuarón's “Children of Men” is a critical blockbuster. And Guillermo del Toro's “Pan's Labyrinth” got six Oscar nods, including one for best foreign-language film. The art scene has also arrived. Curators have been snapping up Mexico City artwork in places like Basel; now they will descend on the city this April for Mexico Arte Contemporáneo, its fledging contemporary art fair. The city's notorious pollution and traffic shouldn't scare off travelers anymore. After all, something needs to fuel all that creative juice.

Sad Day for the City by the Bay

Yup...it's true. 58,000 gallons of oil were spilled in the Bay this past week. One of my favorite things to do when I was living in the Bay Area this past summer was head to Sausalito and check out the view of the San Francisco skyline from across the bay. Hope the clean up efforts work out...and that future protocols are put in place to prevent these types of human errors.

The Los Angeles/Hollywood diet....

It ain't easy, but in LA, we love our tacos, our pan dulce, and yes, our cupcakes.

Saludos to all from Mexico City...where tacos de cochinita pibil are all the rage....

Polanco - Octubre

Saludos de la Ciudad de Mexico! Estamos Angeline y yo en una fiesta en Polanco...Creo que era el Dia de los Muertos, pero seguramente fue el fin de semana antes de esta misma fecha.
