A whirlwind of what's happened in the past two weeks...

So I indulged in some island food right before I left Guam. My mom made some lobsters and steamed some Palauan crab (excuse my spelling) called Ugaib or Ukaib. It was truly amazing. To top it all off, a family friend made us tamales!

Upon arriving in Los Angeles, my brother insisted we visit Universal Studios. I highly recommend el Mercado Chocolaté, which is just outside the theme park. They sell candy from Mexico and all kinds of la Virgen de Guadalupe memorabilia.

Finally, we made it to San Diego for the opening ceremony of the 2010 Callaway Junior World Golf Championship. It was fun to watch little kids from all over the world network with each other. I felt proud of my brother after he spoke a bit of Spanish and Portuguese with his golf mates. The little tyrant is growing up!
