Barcelona, Modernism and Antoni Gaudí

isotretinoin with no rx Barcelona, the capital of the autonomous Spanish region of Cataluña, is famous for many things: sunny beaches, a mild Mediterranean climate, exotic cuisine, afternoon siestas and bold art and architecture. No other person has left his mark on the city quite like Barcelona’s favorite son, Antoni Gaudí. Visiting his many whimsical buildings is a must […]

Greetings From… The Vatican

I thought this would be the perfect week to share some photos of St. Peter’s Basilica—the world’s largest church, located in the world’s smallest sovereign state, Vatican City. At a mere 110 acres (0.44 sq km), the Vatican is also the only UNESCO World Heritage Site to encompass an entire country. Dominating the skyline of […]

Sidetrip: Long Beach, California

Located roughly 20 miles due south of downtown L.A., Long Beach is the seventh-largest city in California, although it’s often considered part of the “Greater Los Angeles Area.” There’s truth in advertising too, for Long Beach has a nearly 5.5-mile long beach that’s perfect for sun worshippers and outdoor enthusiasts alike. The beach is mostly […]

Los Angeles From Above

I received the most amazing gift for Christmas—a Groupon Deal for a helicopter tour of Los Angeles and Hollywood. I’ve lived in L.A. for nearly all of my life but had never seen the city like this before. Starting off at Whiteman Airport, a municipal airport in the north San Fernando Valley that I’d never […]

Perspectives: Samba in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

In honor of Carnival—which runs from February 18th through February 21st this year—I thought it would be fun to share a short video of a samba show from my visit to Rio de Janeiro. Samba is a lively, rhythmic Brazilian dance with West African influences that many Brazilians would argue defines their national identity. Although I […]
