Travel Deal Of The Week: South Africa and East Africa on Sale – Atencion San Miguel | English Version
By Judy Newell
Mexico News
Complex and flavorful, Mexican cuisine is the centerpiece of the country’s culture.
As the capital and largest city, Mexico City is the culinary heart of Mexico. For a legendary first-class meal, La Hacienda de Los Morales, is housed in a 16th century mansion and serving traditional dishes like aguacate con camarones (avocado with shrimp) and las carnitas de pato (duck tamales), is a fine choice.
With some of the cheapest and tastiest food in Mexico, street food vendors are parked in virtually every city and village, serving some of the freshest Mexican staples, from sugary churros and roasted corn, to the popular favorite—tacos al pastor.
Throughout the coastal resort areas, the cuisine tends to be based around seafood dishes (try Coyuca 22 in Acapulco), yet there are some excellent international restaurants offering unexpected delights. Casa Rolandi on Isla Mujeres specializes in Italian cuisine and serves up wood-fired pizzas with a view of the Caribbean Sea.

Mount Everest is the highest point on earth, but Mauna Kea in Hawaii is the tallest from base to peak.
First Cruise Ship Returns to Fiji
Cruise tourism has made a comeback in Fiji. Lautoka Port welcomed its first large post-pandemic cruise ship call with the arrival of P&O’s Pacific Explorer.
Pacific Explorer also kicked off New Zealand’s cruise industry return when it called in Auckland earlier the same week.
