Buying trip - San Cristobal de Las Casas

I haven't blogged in quite a while - mostly due to the fact that I have been really busy working.  I recently went on a successful shopping extravaganza in San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas.  The first time I traveled there, we stayed in a really nice B&B right off of Santo Domigo Church - right by the main market. This trip, we stayed in the relatively new and hip hotel, Hotel Bo - Bo meaning "water" in the local language Tzotzil.  I did get a little sick on both trips, but needless to say I definitely am making this my "go to" for finding amazing wool  and embroidered textiles and other treasures.  Chiapas is an interesting place because much like Guatemala, there is a very rich Mayan culture.  Most indigenous people still speak there native language and there are many people who don't even speak very much Spanish at all.

Phillip Dixon's Home in Venice

Ever since my good friend told me about Phillip Dixon's home in Venice a couple of years ago, I have been wanting to share it.  I know its been featured many times, but I couldn't resist.  What I love about it, is that you would never know you are right smack in the middle of Venice (LA), for it is completely walled-in and the architecture and interior make you think you are in Morocco or some island off of Spain.  The three-bedroom home has endless natural light and a river-like pool that runs through the main rooms.  I like how it's possible you wouldn't notice if you are inside the house or out.
