About me. I was raised and educated in Northern Mexico during a manufacturing boom post-NAFTA. I live in Virginia with my dog Lucia or Lucy, a beautiful (and lazy) American pit bull terrier pup. I do weightlifting, hiking, meditation, and yoga.
In my free time, I love going to the beach, visiting art galleries, or hanging out in coffee shops while enjoying Colombian coffee and reading history books. I love Peruvian, Japanese, and Southern food. I listen to reggaeton, rock, and classical music.
In this section, I will post about things that I find interesting, such as:
A list of good taco places across U.S. cities
Good art galleries in U.S. cities
Some information about the history and culture of Northern Mexico
Pictures of my dog
Books and articles about the history of mathematics knowledge and teaching
My favorite Mexican restaurants and taco places in the Midwest and the South
Tmaz Taqueria in Ypsilanti, MI, near the University of Michigan.
Abuelitas in Richmond, VA.
La Chaparrita #2 in Chicago, IL. There are two restaurants La Chaparrita in Chicago, but oddly, I prefer this one.
7 Mares in Williamsburg, VA, near William & Mary,
South Philly Barbacoa in Philadelphia, PA. Probably the best barbacoa I've ever had in the U.S.
El Tizon (this was the second branch of Al Carbón before) in Charlottesville, VA, near the University of Virginia.
