Flying into LA this afternoon.

Busyyyyy weekend!!

Packing up slightly over half of my personal stash of Punch Pacos, the special HK Regional Pacos... to be split to some few lucky brothers in the forums!

Breaking up the 50CAB was the hardest thing ever!

I will regret this! But it’s for the best!

My mum yesterday teaching Di and I how to make Spanish Croquettes. Hers are divine. 

Taste Test. Dad had some advice 

All good....and they were sensational!

A Saturday spent with mates, drinking German beer, eating smoked pork ribs, watching the horse races and a few Cohibas.

My first Rugby match this past weekend with the family at the Women's Seven in Glendale, Colorado.  I have to say other than not knowing all the rules, we had a fantastic time.  Great sport, very exciting and I think it was enough to get my 16 year old son interested in playing.  Not to mention he got to meet and take pics with some of the players.  I was impressed with the athleticism of these ladies - especially the speed.  Those girls can run! The US team finished better than expected at 2nd place behind New Zealand.  Canada took 3rd. We had a great time!

Was in Monterey CA, and went down to their Fisherman's Wharf.

I'm not really a clam chowder guy, but Crabby Jim's was pretty darn good.

Spanish Croquettes

One of my all time favourites, if you ever get the chance to try the Jamaican version, go for it!  it's basically exactly the same, but you just run a bit of Scott bonnet pepper, thyme, and finely sliced spring onion/scallion through the mix

This recipe must be as old as the slave trade, as i'm assuming thats why it exists distinctly in these two spots.

Last night I found a an old arcade museum in Fisherman's Wharf.

I haven't played some of these games in more than 30 years!

 

Today I took in a tour of the USS Hornet in Alameda.

Obligatory trip to Chinatown...

and be a total tourist and have some dim sum for dinner.

Earier this week, in the English Lake District with my kids.

Artie is a brother of mine. His beautiful daughter Lauren got married yesterday. 

It was madness as only a Greek wedding can be. 

Love you Artie! You sent her off in style mate. If  you thought you shed all your tears last night.......wait until you get the final bill 

Smithy and Artie ......both ended up very very messy 

Di and myself looking forward to the spectacular. 

 

Insane.

Left SF this morning and drove over to Yosemite.

Checked into my hotel in Bakersfield, but missed a golden opportunity. I should have checked in as, "Ben Richards".

It has been a mid term break so decided to get away from Egypt and head to Paris. I was looking forward to a bit of rest and culture; visit the Louvre, take in the sights, enjoy the cafe scene.... but no. The other half had a very specific week in mind so it was off to Disney and lots of shopping. I did manage to get into a few B&Ms though and Paris is great for a cigar and people watching so it’s not all bad. 

Returning to work was a bit of a shock to the system today. I had to do a double take when I saw this....

How's Mexico City?  Did you go to the race?  My wife and I have talked about visiting there for a couple of days.  Would you recommend visiting?

It's an amazing city, with lots to see. Some areas have an old world Spanish Colonial feel, others are more modern chic and there are also very rural, culturally significant areas. I would definitely recommend going! Here's a short-list of places to pick from: 

• Pyramids of the Sun and Moon (Teotihuacan)
• Chapultepec Castle (and Park)
• Angel of Independence
• Frida Khalo's House
• La Condesa/Polanco
• Historic Center
• Great Pyramid of Tenochtitlán
• Floating Gardens of Xochimilco

I did not go to the race, but that would explain why the airport was so packed at 5am Saturday  . We attended a wedding in more rural Texcoco at some 500 year-old hacienda. If you're up for some INSANE barbacoa, look for El Pica I in La Purificación just outside the city. Lastly, don't forget to pick up a box of Edmundo Dantes Conde Belicoso at the airport, they are phenomenal albiet pricey. Not sure how much longer they will last but there were still plenty of boxes in stock there. There a couple of LCDHs in town.

She's quickly becoming my favorite camera. Handles better than her size implies.
