The camera was my high school graduation gift. It is one of the only things I take wherever I go, even if I don’t use it. It’s the closest thing I have to a good luck charm.

Kiva allows you to lend money to people in less wealthy parts of the world in order to help them better their standard of living.

So far I have made a few loans. You can see my lender profile. One of the things that I like about Kiva is that you are directly helping a specific person as opposed to donating to a charity which disburses the money as they see fit.

I know there are many worthy charities that do a great job of helping people who are less fortunate. But, I like knowing exactly to whom my money is going.

I like how the adobe finish has peeled off the wall and has formed a question mark with the door below.

Mascota is a beautiful old Mexican town with great photo opportunities everywhere. The local ice cream shop looked straight out of a movie.

Rancho la Esmeralda is a great place to stay in Mascota
