I took a tour of Teotihuacan on Thursday. Today’s visit to the Museo Nacional de Antropología was more impressive because I had been there. At the museum there is an exhibit dedicated to this site. The museum’s exhibit affords visitors the chance to view the site from a bird’s eye view. I was at the…

Museo Nacional de Antropologica
After the Frida Kahlo museum, I plotted my next move. It took about 45 minutes to get there due to traffic, but the museum offered so much that it was worth it. Anthropology is the science of the origins, physical, and cultural decelopment, biological characteristics, and social customs and beliefs of humankind. That’s a mouthful….
The Life of Frida Kahlo
Enigmatic. Curious. Talented. Long-suffering.
Coyoacan, CDMX
I visited the Frida Kahlo museum today. There are two museums in Mexico city dedicated to Kahlo. I chose to visit the seemingly most popular of the two, which is situated at the former home of the artist. The home was designed with nature in mind as is evidenced by the volcanic rock used to…
6 Hours in London
Sadly, England is grappling with the aftermath of this past week’s terrorist attack. It was no wonder security was so tight in and around the city. I departed from Manama, Bahrain six hours prior to arriving at London Heathrow Airport. With a six hour layover I decided to see the sights. After being grilled by the…
Peru Reboot
I had the pleasure of visiting the lovely country known as Peru. Times sure flies, because it will soon be a full two years since I was there in August 2015. This time around I have decided to ascend the Inca trail to reach Machu Picchu. Well, not exactly. I will ride a train instead…
A Quik Story
I awoke and did what I usually do which is type ‘Dj Quik’ into my iTunes app to listen to some of his music. I was pleasantly surprised to see that he released new music — the Rosecrans LP. Now I am poolside reading a book and intermittently putting the book down to post to…
ToMoCa
If you visit Addis Ababa you must try ToMoCa coffee. We did and we were pleasantly surprised, deighted, and energized after sipping our Lattes, Caramel Macchiatos, and Blacks. Check out these photos of the first Tomoca coffeehouse in Addis. It opened in 1953.
Final Hours in Lalibela
En route to the Asheten Mariam Rock Hewn Monastery this morning, I was delightfully accosted by two sisters who demanded that I wait for them to make their way up the mountain to meet face-to-face, politely shake their hands, and take their photos because they’re just too cute. I obliged. Thereafter I made my way…
Ethiopian Beauties
Watch on YouTube, click here. Shop here. On Tuesday I decided not to sleep in. This was not a problem because my night’s sleep at the Panoramic Hotel was quite invigorating. I awoke and went for a city stroll that unbeknownst to me lead to a six-hour round-trip hike to the hilltop monastery. When my…
Lalibela
On Monday I visited some of the churches at Lalibela that were commissioned by Ethiopian King Lalibela after he traveled to Israel sometime around the 12th century. He sought to spread Christianity and protect the Ark of the Covenant by building a magnificent church to house the most significant religious artifact. The church was hewn…
Goodwill
I bought a soccer ball for the local youth.
