I recently had the opportunity to experience Miami like a tourist. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, Miami’s varied and plentiful museums offer visitors another way to appreciate the Magic City’s history and culture. When you think Miami, images of beautiful beaches and people-watching on Ocean Drive automatically come to mind. But I got to see another [...]
I know for many of us visiting museums can be boring. It all goes back to those field trips in elementary and middle school, when we had to visit museums and write a report about what we saw, what we learned. I think it’s the same reason some people don’t like to read; they were [...]
In my native Puerto Rico, the methods of discipline were very straightforward: You did what you were told or you were punished. Not obeying guaranteed un chancletazo (a spanking with a flip flop). Offering to hit with other implements such as belts, twigs and tree branches was not out of the question and oftentimes, parents [...]
It’s Cinco de Mayo. ¡Olé! Break out your ridiculous, oversized straw sombrero, the bright poncho you bought in the airport at Cancun, and head to your nearest Chili’s.

From my years living in France, and being married to a Frenchman, I know a few things about the French and their love of food. They love fresh fruits and vegetables purchased at the marchées. They like food in season. They enjoy long meals and wine, and the whole country is pretty set on a [...]
Our Los Tweens team was invited by our amiga Jeannette Kaplun of Hispana Global to join her for an annual Passover celebration presented by the Latin American committee of the Miami AJC. It is a beautiful celebration of liberty and so many traditions that help retrace the history of freedom from slavery of the Jewish people. [...]
Juárez is one of Mexico’s greatest and most inspiring figures. In his memory, the third Monday of March is observed as a Federal holiday: El Día de Benito Juárez. It is similar to President’s Day, observed in the U.S. In fact, there are many similarities between Benito Juárez and Abraham Lincoln. The latter is undoubtedly [...]
My school years during the 70s and 80s were filled with diversity. After spending my early childhood in the United States, I was fortunate to attend a British school in Spain. It was more of an international school, a melting pot of races, religions, languages and ethnicities. Although our principal was an Anglican priest, we [...]
