For the last few years, I have worked as a traveling sales representative, serving as a liaison between the heads of different regions. In many ways, it is a terrible job. To say that it has put a strain on my relationships is putting it mildly. It has ruined more than one relationship. I simply can’t devote enough energy to keeping things going when I am gone three weeks out of four! Nevertheless, it does have some perks. I get to meet interesting people from all over the world, I make great money, and best of all I get to enjoy amazing accommodations.

Parador Chinchon
Posted in Travel and Leisure by admin on March 10, 2008
Chinchon is a little-known gem of a town.
The laid-back atmosphere of the unique main plaza conjures up images of what Spain must have been like a hundred years ago. The Parador Chinchon is the perfect place for a restful stay. It was originally established as an Augustinian Convent in the 17th century, and was then called Santa Maria Del Paraiso. It is still today a little slice of paradise (”paraiso”).

A Trip to the Past With Palenque
By Tatyana Kogut
The south of Mexico is the cradle of Maya civilization – one of the greatest cultures in human history. Born 3 thousand years ago, it is surrounded with historical mysteries and legends. But the most wonderful thing is that this world is still alive. Meeting with Maya means a travel to the past. The first place to get to know Maya is Uxmal. Then we advise you a travel to Palenque – a wonderful site. One of the main local attractions is the Temple of Inscriptions where in 1952 there was a true treasure found – Maya temple. The temple is one of the oldest Maya erections, preserved in its primeval state. There is also a Palace situated opposite the temple. The palace is adorned with ancient bas reliefs and stone carvings.
