Natures Stage, a Look at the Beauty and History of Red Rocks Amphitheatre
In a land not so far away about 230 million years ago dinosaurs roamed the earth and some beautiful red rocks were formed. They were huge in size , made of sandstone and heavy with iron which gave them a striking red color. Many years later movement in the tectonic plates under the ground caused a shift in the land and these rocks were pushed upward into the most perfect acoustic amphitheatre in the world. While all of that may sound easy it took this magnificent formation millions of years to form into the premier venue that we see today. In 1820 it was discovered by an army expedition led…

The Silver Queen of the Rockies ( also known as Georgetown)
Lets face it… we all love gold and silver. I mean its right up there with diamonds and they’re a girls best friend. Well my best friend edges out diamonds, but she’s pretty spectacular.

As real as it gets… a great taco tour in Puerto Vallarta.
My plane landed around 2pm giving me just enough time to get settled into my hotel and figure out that I was starving!. Lucky for me I had booked a taco tour. I mean what a better way to see a city than eat your way through it. So I hopped in a taxi and headed into old town Puerto Vallarta. Our meeting spot was also our first stop. Seafood el Guero. While waiting I had the opportunity to meet the other guests and was not so surprised to see we were all from North America. Puerto Vallarta is an oasis from the bitter cold in the states and Canada.…
