After my first full day in the Riviera Nayarit we returned to the Paradise Village Hotel just in time for the sunset. I headed out to the beach with my camera to rest in a lounge chair to wait and watch. This part of Mexico didn’t disappoint, it never does. Although subtle, a majestic magenta […]

Sunset Sunday-A Mile High Return from Mexico
by Craig Zabransky on July 28, 2013 in Mexico Travel, Sunset Sunday
On my flight back from my recent trip to Mexico I looked out from my window seat and experienced a mile high moment; a mile high sunset. And I reflected on the moment. I stared and smiled for a while and then I eventually grabbed my iPhone to snap an image. My recent Mexican adventure […]

Sunset Sunday-A Visit to Hacienda San Diego at Sunset
by Craig Zabransky on May 5, 2013 in Mexico Travel, Sunset Sunday
We drove up the dust road towards the desolate Hacienda San Diego just outside of Casa Grandes, Chihuhuahua for the trip’s final dinner.

In the state of Sinaloa, Mexico a small mining town nestled in the mountains still holds its colonial charm.

Quinceañera-A Mexican Sweet 15
by Craig Zabransky on March 27, 2013 in Mexico Travel, Postcards
For Mexican girls, it’s all about 15 and their quinceañera. It is not a sweet 16, but rather a sweet 15 (quinceañera translates to being 15 years old). And on my walk through the streets of Veracruz, I noticed one young girl preparing for her party by getting some photos taken. It is something you […]
