Oh, how sweet crêpes are! I fell in love with crêpes on my visit to France. Actually, my daughter, Nicole, a crêpe connoisseur helped me fall in love with these sweet, delectable, light pastries. Everywhere we traveled throughout France, Nicole had to buy a fruit filled crêpes, as they sold them from street vendors everywhere …
When we traveled the Mayan Riviera just south of Cancun in Mexico, I had a few must-do items on my travel list. First and foremost was to climb an ancient pyramid. While their are other archaeological sites that include pyramids in the area, namely Tulum and Chichen Itza, Coba is the only site that still allows you …
