Best darn burger EVER!
So much to write about this last weekend, so I will have to break this up into two posts. The most memorable event though, was without a doubt a burger I had during the Texan Barbercue Dinner Buffet. Wow! I’m sad to say it was the best burger I have ever had -BAR NONE. Keep […]

A Spectacular Sunset
What else is there to tell you, other than the obvious – this is the first time I tried to capture one of the many amazing sunsets that you can experience at Casa de Campo. The only thing better are the millions of stars that begin to shine shortly after.
