Golfing in Paradise

Me mucho gusto la playa. Yo estado en las playas en México muchas veces. I also love playing golf and have actually gotten to play at a golf course when I was in Playa del Carmen. The PGA Tour is currently there and Chris Stroud, a 29 year old golfer, took a 3 stroke lead with 63 earlier today. If you don't know much about golf that is kind of a big deal. Tener por lo menos puntos es el mejor. He hasn't won yet, obviously, because there are still more games to be played. But if he has a few more days like he did today, he will probably be able to win the PGA Tour. I am definitely not good enough to play professionally, but playing in paradise wasn't so bad!

Still safe to travel to Mexico?

According to Matt Reed from the Associated Press, Mexico is still a hot spot for Spring Break travel this year. Las reservas no han sufrido esta temporada. The most popular places being booked for Spring Break are Playa del Carmen, Cozumel and Cancun. As long as guests stay in a resort area there should be no danger or harm near. La guerra contra las drogas están más cerca de la frontera. Even though they say these places are perfectly safe for tourists and what not I still don't think I would let my child go down there for Spring Break. I wouldn't even want to go there right now. The reason for so many people making plans to head that way for vacation is because of fairly inexpensive prices to stay there. La economía está creciendo lo que los precios son razonables. I have been to Cozumel a few years ago and it was beautiful and such a fun time. It is amazing how quickly things can change from year to year. I'm sure it is still beautiful, but I just wouldn't feel very safe.

Albuquerque, New Mexico

This past weekend I went to Albuquerque with a couple of friends. No hicimos mucho, pero tuvimos un buen momento. We ate at two restaurants that were on the show Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. Los dos estaban deliciosos. One night we ate at the Monte Carlo Steakhouse and the next day we had lunch at the Standard Diner. Each one had such different atmospheres but were equally a good experience. Yo recomendaría a nadie, estos restaurantes. Needless to say we had a good time in Albuquerque this past weekend!

Taco Soup!

Me encanta cocinar. Ya que ha sido tan frio de los ultimos dias decidi hacer una sopa. I have made taco soup before but I wanted something new. I looked up some recipies and decided on a slow cooker taco soup. Estoy totalmente de cocina sobre la fácil y fácil de limpiar. The good thing about a recipe like this is you can prepare it in the morning and by the time you get home from work or school in the evening, supper is already done! Stay warm and make you some taco soup!
