Food Friday: Authentic Mexican Michelada Recipe
When I attended the Villa del Palmar bar-tending class, I was all about learning something authentic. Even though I have never been a huge fan of Micheladas, I was excited to learn how to make an authentic Mexican michelada from scratch as opposed to buying a gross pre-mixed one in a can.

Hotel Activities Worth Hanging Around For
I had a great time going on outings with the Media Group that stayed in the Mexico hotel, Villa Del Palmar Loreto (VDPL) together, but I am so glad that Ayngelina, Cailin and I decided to stay a few extra days.
