Last month, I took the family to Spain for a much needed vacation. For our nine-day stay, I wanted to explore different cities so I was thinking a few days in Madrid then off to possibly Barcelona or Seville – maybe Granada? I pored over travel blogs, Tripadvisor, LonelyPlanet, etc, trying to find a location […]
So, my daughter and I took a little “father/daughter” trip to Guatemala (a territory of Central America that once formed the core of the Maya civilization) last month to check out that country’s version of Día de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead). We first visited the historic city of Antigua (photographs HERE) and then […]

And although buildings and districts in the historic city center were heavily damaged or destroyed […]
During a recent trip to Romania to attend my film screening at the ClujShorts International Short Film Festival, Mrs. Perez and I stayed in the colorful city of Cluj-Napoca (check out the beautiful photographs HERE). We also arranged a driving tour of several cities in the historical region of Transylvania in central Romania. The two […]
So last week, my wife and I traveled to the city of Cluj-Napoca, the second most populous city in Romania (after the national capital Bucharest) to attend the screening of one of my documentary films at the ClujShorts International Short Film Festival. The city, considered the unofficial capital to the historical province of Transylvania, is […]
Here are a few images from my trip (with Mrs. Perez, of course) to Mexico City and Zócalo, the common name of the main square located in the Centro Histórico (Historic Center) in the heart of Mexico City. We stood at the lovely Hotel Catedral which is located walking distance to Zócalo. Formally known as […]
