Shocking, but the importance of the Women’s March endures. See you there tomorrow! https://www.tabletmag.com/jewish-news-and-politics/276694/is-the-womens-march-melting-down This year’s crowd at ~20,000 was much bigger than last year, it really did feel twice as big. Great energy and of course great signs!

Huge capacity (10-15 liters is a lot of volume compared to normal purses), weatherproof, unfussy, let-em-get-dirty. Perfectly utilitarian. So when I read this article about how women are shifting to the more practical backpack I was like “well duh!!” However you do want some cute factor to...

Also ran by the ubiquitous Vallarta Adventures, this shore excursion is a nice outdoorsy trip plus a good long catamaran ride. Yelapa is a tiny fishing village that looks like it only recently got electricity. I cannot imagine actually living there, it seems only one step above camping. You don’t get any romantic “simple living in huts” feeling, it looks...
Spotted in Puerta Vallarta on 1/31/18 https://vallartalifestyles.com/attessa-iv-visits-puerto-vallarta “You may have seen mega yacht Attessa IV sailing around Puerto Vallarta in the last few days. Valued at $250 million USD, this World Superyacht Awards 2011 winner is one of a kind 328-foot long vessel equipped with its own helicopter. Not only is it one of the largest luxury motor yachts in...
Just spotted in Mazatlan. The beautiful beat up oil tanker Torm Lilly
It’s too difficult to trust even Google reviews these days (how can everything be 4.2 or above??) but seeing as Los Arcos was just up the street from El Cid and The Palms, I figured they knew how to serve high end clientele. I was not disappointed. They seemed a little anxious to have an English speaker in their restaurant,...
Green tea and red bean slushie Oreo slushie Jasmine green tea milk tea Carmel Coffee slushie Black tea Can you believe we had this after lunch at 101 Noodle Express? It should not be this hard to find casual outdoor seating, with table service, that is at least 20 feet from the curb and car exhaust. Thank you Boba Ave,...
Another great visit to 101 with friends and family. Today we tried the green vegetable and pork (it comes on rice) – solid tasty comfort food. The Dan Dan noodle was a bit heavy, plus with the hand torn noodles it was very heavy. Not a fan. The Beef Rolls were excellent today, full of cilantro. The scallion pancakes were...
Very unassuming and humble, family run, kabob grill. The schwarma meats were excellent, crispy edges and plenty of seasoning, as was the tabouli, it was nice and fresh. The chili dried tomato hummus was interesting, it was tasty, but next time I might try the plain hummus. The pita bread seemed homemade, and could have used a bit more salt....
