The Mariachi Band’s Fate

It used to be, everyone wanted a mariachi band at their funeral. Now, we’re lucky to get customers.

Why do you think that is? The economy?

Yes, maybe. Also the culture. Things have changed.

Los Patiperros

If you don't speak Spanish, "Los Patiperros" is a slang term for globetrotters. It literally translates to wandering the streets like a dog. If you do speak Spanish—I'm sorry.

Ninety-five percent of these posts are true. Five percent are a wonderful exaggeration.

By Mollie Bloudoff-Indelicato. I used to live in Lima, Peru. I've visited every state in the U.S., and I've been to ALL SEVEN CONTINENTS! For now, I call Washington, D.C. home base.
