March 1, 2019 By Tam Warner 9 Comments

One afternoon in Cabo.

I am headed to Cabo very soon and am so looking forward to soaking in its beauty! I’ll be hanging on the beach, diving, whale watching in Magdalena Bay with Red Travel Mexico March 12-14 (still spots available!), and checking out La Paz and Isla Espíritu Santo hoping to snorkel with whale sharks and sea lions! Add in a bit of kayaking in Balandra Bay, and I’m going to be a super happy camper! You can bet I will have a zillion photos to share, but for now, enjoy one afternoon in Cabo.

Check flights on Tripadvisor!

What is Chinese New Year anyway? When does it start? When does it end? What do people do to celebrate? I’m going to give you some answers! I love the pageantry of Chinese New Year, and one of these days, I’m going to San Francisco’s Chinatown to see their celebrations. I did get a taste in Los Angeles, however, enough to whet my appetite.

On my recent visit to downtown Los Angeles I was able to see things in the city I had never seen before! It was amazing, and I thank my friends Flo and Suzanne and Craig for great tours of the city! Let me take you along!

Sculpture by Chris Burden located at the Wilshire Boulevard entrance to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. The 2008 installation consists of restored street lamps from the 1920s and 1930s. Most used to light the streets of the city!
