The photography mates




This post here it's an ode to all of my photography mates :) Meetup.com it's an awesome website were you can find people with the same interests and hobbies. It was fundamental for my integration in Richmond. Thank you guys! 
Basically, we meetup for events and festivals, for mingles and also workshops. I learn a lot with them!
Some weeks ago we went to Libby Hill that it has an awesome view from downtown Richmond.

children are the best thing in the world!




Let me rephrase: being a kid is the best thing in the world! ahah You play silly games, you run around like crazy, you make friends instantly, you are pampered all the time,...
Check the photos that I took during the Folk festival, of this group of kids. They were amazing, smiling and playing with me all the time :)

The Apple pie


Apple pie is the best-known example of a fruit pie. It's a pie very popular around here, specially at this time of the year when the apples can be freshly picked from the trees. I present you the american-style apple pie, this beautiful double crusted pie.
The apples are the queens of this dessert but the crust is huge deal here too.
There is a lot of tricks for having a perfect pie crust. Keeping the dough cool, refrigerate it between steps and before baking to promote a flaky crust and help the pie maintain its shape. For fullest flavor, use a blend of apples in a pie.
The ingredients are very simple, probably you will have in your pantry. So, run to the kitchen and start doing it!

a little Italian festival



Some photos of the Italian festival in Richmond. Some pastas, pizzas, cannolis, wine and music! Simple and cozy as this :) 
But now I have a question! Richmond has a greek festival, an italian festival, an Oktoberfest, a french film festival... what about a portuguese festival?? Common! or an Iberian festival, for instance... Oh Richmond, Richmond!... ahah

multicultural food


the best (customize) hamburger ever! Los Angeles

One of the best things in living in USA is experiencing the multiculturality! Richmond is not quite the best example, but still, the chance of finding food from around the world is pretty high. During the super amazing trip this summer, we ate a lot of different food, so I decided to revive it in this post. I wish I had photograph every single meal just to show you...oh well, next time! ;)
Enjoy!

Las Vegas, baby!



Gambling, shopping and fine dining, Las Vegas is the Sin city! We only stayed one day in Las Vegas and it was the day I took more photos… Las Vegas has so many cool and extravagant hotels. It’s really crazy! It’s kind of a Disneyland for adults. The gambling and entertainment industry (ui!) in Las Vegas is mostly focused in the Las Vegas Strip. Actually we didn’t have the chance to go downtown.

The first major resort development was the Mirage (check the photos) opened in 1989, after that was just resort, after resort! There is the The Venezian with its gondolas, the beautiful and magnificient The Caesers Palace, The Bellagio with its famous dancing fountains, The Treasure Islands for a more pirate look, The Paris and its replica of the Eiffel Tower, The New York, among many others. New York with a small Manhattan,.. I mean!…. On the Strip you can find fifteen of the world's top 25 largest hotels by room, with a total of over 62,000 rooms! Incredible! Oh, I think that Mr. Sinatra was wrong, Las Vegas is the city that never sleeps! ahah

But you know, I guess I need to go back because I didn’t get married, or drunk or even spent my money gambling.. ahah
