Cholula, Puebla, México. A favorite Mexican city of mine, especially if you're a fan of mole! It's also the only city in México that celebrates Cinco de Mayo (México's victory over the Second French Empire at the Battle of Puebla in 1862)

After watching Nomadland, I was inspired to take a drive to Quartzsite, AZ and discovered this amazing memorial to HI Jolly, a Syrian camel driver who worked for the U.S. military.

For the uninitiated, Puerto Peñasco, affectionately known as Rocky Point by gringos, is Arizona's beach town. Only a few hours south of Phoenix, it's where Arizonians go to trade desert dust for ocean breezes and tequila. desertico.co/travel/renti...

#HighQs: In 1907, a Denver newspaper warned that "marijuana cigarettes" were making Mexicans "immune to pain and remorse." The real threat wasn’t the weed, it was the racist hysteria of a whitewashed press.

Sepia-toned image of a Mexican man in traditional attire smoking a joint, eyes closed, with bold text quoting a 1907 Denver newspaper warning that “marijuana cigarettes” were making Mexicans “immune to pain and remorse.” The caption below calls out the racist hysteria of the era’s press.

This carne asada tacos recipe is inspired by La Caretta, a food stand located in Sonoyta, México. I stopped there on a recent trip to Puerto Penasco, México. desertico.co/travel/carne...

Finding authentic tacos on the road to Puerto Peñasco might seem unlikely, especially in the small, overlooked town of Sonoyta, México. desertico.co/travel/tacos...

It's going to be a carne asada weekend, inspired by La Carreta en Sonoyta, México.
