Customer review:
Breathable, comfortable, thick but not heavy. Seems to be very good shielding and protection with social distancing (not medical mask). Face covering appears to be one layer, with double layer edging. No filter pocket, but paper towel staying in place. Strong, very neat seams, excellent craftsship. Long, sturdy nose bridge, glasses not fogging up. Top corners of nose bridge can poke through knitting slightly, but they're not leaving holes and they don't stay pushed through once wire is flattened down; stretchable ribbing, so threading staying intact. Nose wire not centered exactly, but able to move it carefully; will need to be mindful to not puncture binding if have to re-position/re-secure. Mask material 95% cotton, 5% spandex. Two black and two white in one box (plus one pair good quality off-white disposable latex gloves included). Gloves & masks seem to fit me (adult female/medium size). Snug without feeling overly tight. Fabric ear loops not adjustable, but comfortable; they're softer than plain elastic so don't dig in, but thicker and may be a bit too short and possibly pull a little at ears, but they're not slipping off. (At first I thought ear loops were too loose. I also wear extra blue light lenses when using electronics which may account for extra space being taken up on ears.) No bad odor of masks. White mask not as white as inside of black mask, but white mask looks white. Standard shipping didn't take long, much less than estimated time. Was offered free set for honest review. Wish more companies would offer incentives to review, as I find ratings so helpful. Would like to write about other purchases, just can't seem to find time, and offer helped me "make" time. Haven't washed masks yet. Will try to update washing, ear loop length. So far, masks seem to be excellent design/quality/construction, exactly what I was trying to find for everyday general use in one pack. Thank you so much, "Hopeurwell," too! - dihersch

Soaring with the Gigantic Whale 🐋: Central Pacific Coast
Travel Advisory: COVID-19 : Important notice for traveler Read more
¡Que gire y gire la ruleta para saber cuál es tu próximo destino ✈️!
¿A dónde te vas de paseo?#VisitMéxico pic.twitter.com/HrNH66OnxW
— Visit México (@VisitMex) August 13, 2022
The central Pacific coast of Mexico is a land of stunning beaches, gigantic aquamarine waves, and giant sunsets.
You can eat sublime seafood under simple palm-frond roofs, drink chilled coconut water while lounging in a hammock, and enjoy poolside cocktails at an upmarket resort.
The nightlife is great and there's a beach for everyone, whether you prefer yours backed by high-rise hotels or tumbledown cabins.
In the ocean, you can surf world-class breaks and spot humpback whales breaching on the horizon, battalions of mother turtles arriving to lay their eggs, pelicans flying in formation or pods of dolphins rising from the waves.
Don't hesitate, come and start you surfing adventure now.
1. Jardín Botánico de Vallarta
In the Vallarta Botanical Gardens, you can see one of Mexico's most extensive orchid collections, as well as a variety of native plants and birds. After strolling through the grounds, you can go down a jungle trail to the tranquil shores of Río Horcones, where you can swim in a boulder-strewn river.
Nature enthusiasts come from far and wide to see the garden’s colorful collection of native orchids. You’ll see Mexican vanilla, cacao trees, and agave tequilana, learn about how chocolate is made and how it played an important role in pre-Hispanic rituals at the same time.
2. Yelapa
Yelapa is a small fishing community with a picturesque beach. It's backed by jungle-shrouded mountains and is best reached by boat. The beach is definitely a great place to get away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Puerto Vallarta.
There are plenty of places to eat in Yelapa, from seafood restaurants to taco joints and cafes. You can try local specialties like fish tacos, birria, and pescado zarandeado. And don't forget to try a michelada cubana! After your meal, look for one of Yelapa's "pie ladies," who walk around the beach carrying delicious coconut, banana, and lime pies.
3. Playa La Boquita
At Playa La Boquita, you can spend the day swimming in calm waters, lounging on the beach, and snorkeling around a shipwreck. There are also plenty of seafood restaurants to enjoy on another beach nearby Yelapa.
4. Volcán Ceboruco
This active volcano consisting of two calderas and three cinder cones. You're allowed to hike around this active volcano, which last erupted in 1870. The road to the volcano passes lava fields, fumaroles, and lush vegetation. It begins in the village of Jala, which is 7km off the highway from Tepic to Guadalajara.
5. Zona Arqueológica de Palma Sola
Palma Sola is an archaeological settlement located in the amphitheater or upper part of the port of Acapulco, yet Acapulco's best-kept secret hill.The site has an area of approximately four hectares and is made up of a set of architectural complexes built with stonework and mud, among which the Great Pyramid stands out.
It's a ceremonial and pilgrimage site dating back to 450 BCE to 650 CE, with some wonderfully preserved rock paintings, petroglyphs depicting the story of creation, and the best bird's-eye view of the city.
6. Clavadistas de la Quebrada
Acapulco's cliff divers have been dazzling audiences since 1934. Every night, a team of seven lithe young divers leaps into churning waves, scales the cliff opposite the viewing platform, and then plunges with fearless finesse from heights of 25m to 35m into the narrow ocean cove below.
7. Zócalo
Acapulco's leafy old town, Zócalo, comes alive with street performers, mariachis, and sidewalk cafes every night yet also hosts occasional festivals. The town is the main square in central Mexico City.
It was the main ceremonial center in the Aztec city of Tenochtitlan. The plaza is now known as Plaza de la Constitución (Constitution Square). The name comes from the Cádiz Constitution, which was signed in Spain by the representatives of Mexico during the Mexican War of Independence.
8. Old Mazatlán
Mazatlán's old town has been restored and is full of beautiful 19th-century buildings and lovely plazas. It's set back from Playa Olas Altas, a small cove beach where the waterfront road – with its old-fashioned bars and hotels – makes you feel like you're in the 1950s.
Though it's not as nice as it could be because of the ugly radio masts of Cerro de la Nevería, this old quarter is still delightful, with student life and numerous art galleries, cafes, restaurants and bars.
9. Teatro Ángela Peralta
The 1366-seat theater named after a 19th-century soprano, just off Plaza Machado, was a thriving center of local cultural life for nearly a century. It was revived from its decaying state by dedicated local citizens in the late 1980s,
And the three-level interior has been restored to its former splendor. All kinds of cultural events are staged here, from temporary art exhibitions to the annual Festival Cultural Mazatlán.
By the coast, you can enjoy the air if you're nature enthusiasts. Yet the coast also houses quite some cultural events, so don't worry if you're looking for a artistic trip. It's the best you love both nature and culture of the coast!
Surf, see whales and turtles, and more:

— City of New York (@nycgov) July 10, 2022
Welcome to the Big Apple! New York City is a place like no other. It's a melting pot of cultures and a hub of activity 24/7.
There's always something to see, do, or eat in NYC, whether it's a Broadway show, a street fair, or just people watching in Times Square. So no matter you're a night owl or an early bird, you'll find plenty to keep you busy in the city that never sleeps!
Whether you're looking for high-end shopping, world-renowned museums, or just a good slice of pizza, you'll find it all here. And don't forget to check out the Empire State Building, Central Park, and the Statue of Liberty. But the NYC also has its hiden spots the even some of the New Yorkers may not know...So let's start the journey!
Everyone knows...
• Empire State Building
The Empire State Building remains the queen bee of the New York skyline, despite the Chrysler Building's prettier exterior and One World Trade Center's taller height. The Empire State Building has been featured in around a hundred films and countless skyline snapshots.
It is a quintessential part of New York, having been scaled by King Kong and drawn lovers together in films like Sleepless in Seattle. The Empire State Building is recognizable to Manhattanites and visitors from all over the world and is synonymous with the Big Apple itself.
But some of you may also want to know...
• Grand Central Terminal
Grand Central Terminal, completed in 1913, is one of New York's most venerated beaux-arts beauties. It is adorned with Tennessee-marble floors and Italian-marble ticket counters, and its main concourse is capped by a vaulted ceiling depicting the constellations, designed by French painter Paul César Helleu.
Today, Grand Central's underground electric tracks serve only commuter trains en route to northern suburbs and Connecticut, but the station merits a special trip for the architecture alone.
Everyone knows...
• Brooklyn Bridge
The New York icon is the world’s first steel suspension bridge. It is also the longest suspension bridge when it opened in 1883. The construction of Brooklyn Bridge was fraught with disaster, but the bridge's neo-Gothic towers have endured as city emblems.
Crossing the bridge is a exhilarating journey with numerous photo-ops. The suspended bicycle/pedestrian walkway delivers soul-stirring views of Manhattan, the East River and the waterfront.
But some of you may also want to know...
• Old Stone House
The Stone House is a community focal point and museum that was reconstructed by the famous urban planner Robert Moses. A replica of a 1699 Dutch farmhouse, it houses a permanent exhibit explaining the Battle of Long Island, including period clothes and weapons, with rotating exhibitions in the creaky upstairs.
Concerts and other cultural events (author talks, tastings) are held regularly. There's a playground for kids and a community garden outside. If you happen to pass by outside of the posted visiting hours, give them a call. If someone's inside they'll usually be happy to let you in.
Everyone knows...
• Statue of Liberty
Lady Liberty is one of New York City's most enduring symbols. First conceived in 1865 by French intellectual Édouard de Laboulaye as a monument to the republican principles shared by France and the USA, the Statue of Liberty remains a powerful symbol of America’s founding ideals. For generations, migrants to America cruised past the statue on their way into New York harbour, and knew they had arrived in the land of freedom and opportunity.
But some of you may also want to know...
• Stone Street
Stone Street is a street in the Financial District of Manhattan in New York City. It contains several prominent structures, including 1 Hanover Square, a National Historic Landmark.
The eastern portion of the street and the surrounding buildings are designated as the Stone Street Historic District, which is both listed on the National Register of Historic Places and protected by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission. In addition, the remaining portions of the street are part of the Financial District's street layout, a city landmark.
Everyone knows...
• Metropolitan Museum of Art
The Metropolitan Museum of Art, affectionately known as "The Met," is one of the most beloved corners of New York City. What started with a handful of paintings brought over from Europe or donated by a coterie of philanthropically minded robber barons in the 19th century has since become a massive collection of two million works of art representing 5000 years of history.
The Met was founded 151 years ago with the intention of educating and edifying a teaming city of immigrants, and underscore the uniquely global culture of 19th century New York City. Whether that stated purpose has been meet by modern, post-colonial standards is up for debate in recent years – a conversation many museums are reckoning with worldwide.
But some of you may also want to know...
• Andrew Carnegie Mansion
The Andrew Carnegie Mansion, now home to the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum, was originally completed in 1902 and reached landmark status in 1974. The mansion has undergone much change over the years, and the grounds now feature an expansive garden and cafe for visitors to enjoy.
Everyone knows...
• Central Park
Comprising 843 acres of rolling meadows, boulder-studded outcroppings, elm-lined walkways, manicured European-style gardens, a lake and a reservoir, Central Park is a must-see for any visitor to New York City.
Highlights include the 15-acre Sheep Meadow, where thousands of people lounge and play on warm days; Central Park Zoo; and the forest-like paths of the Ramble, popular with birdwatchers. In warm weather there are free outdoor concerts on the Great Lawn and top-notch drama at the annual Shakespeare in the Park productions held each summer at the open-air Delacorte Theater.
But some of you may also want to know...
• Secret Waterfalls
In Central Park, there is a hidden oasis of mini-waterfalls that many New Yorkers don't know about. These waterfalls are located in the Ravine, the stream valley section of the North Woods that spans 40 acres at the top of the Park. There are at least five different waterfalls, all of which are man-made but look completely natural. When you're in this oasis, you won't feel like you're in Manhattan anymore!
New York City is the most exciting place on earth so come on in and explore the best that the city has to offer!

Oaxaca(wah-hah-kah) is a state in Mexico that is home to a rich culture, art scene, diverse natural landscape, and delicious cuisine.
The state capital, Oaxaca city, is a beautiful and fascinating place, and there are many interesting things to see and do in the surrounding area.
From hiking and horseback riding in the Sierra Norte to surfing and swimming in the Pacific Ocean, there is always something suits you well in Oaxaca. But first, start your day archaeologically!
1. Monte Albán Ruins
The ancient city of Monte Albán was once the second-largest ceremonial site in Mesoamerica. Today, it is an ruins, but it still boasts an impressive Gran Plaza, ancient ball court, excavated tombs, and astronomical 'observatory'. The site is also home to the mysterious danzantes, carved stone figures thought to depict dead or tortured prisoners of war.
2. Zona Arqueológica de Mitla
The ancient ruins of Mitla were once the second-most important Zapotec religious center. The site is home to a number of impressive buildings, including a cult center where high priests performed human sacrifices.
The ancient buildings at the site of Mitla were probably reserved for specific occupants, such as the high priest or the king. Today, visitors can see the Grupo de las Columnas (Group of the Columns) and the Grupo del Norte (North Group), both of which are located near the Iglesia de San Pablo.
3. Museo de las Culturas de Oaxaca
No more archaeological sites visit! But still curious about the culture of Oaxaca? The Museum of Oaxacan Cultures is one of Mexico's best regional museums.
Located in the beautiful monastery buildings adjoining the Templo de Santo Domingo, the museum offers rich displays that take visitors through the history and cultures of Oaxaca state. The museum emphasizes the continuity between pre-Hispanic and contemporary cultures in areas such as crafts, medicine and food.
4. Templo de Santo Domingo
Santo Domingo is the most splendid of Oaxaca’s churches, with a finely carved baroque facade and nearly every square centimeter inside decorated in 3D relief with intricate gilt designs swirling around a profusion of painted figures.
The 18th-century Capilla de la Virgen del Rosario (Rosary Chapel) is particularly beautiful, and the whole church takes on a magical atmosphere during candlelit evening Mass.
No rush, take a small break with artisan pastries and continue your journey.
5. Boulenc Pan Artesano
The best bakery in Oaxaca also has a trendy cafe next door, not that surprised but their most popular dish is avocado toast. The cafe has excellent coffee and cakes, and is located in a patio with terrace seating upstairs.
6. Zócalo
The Zócalo is the central square in Oaxaca city, and it is a great place to people-watch. The square is surrounded by portales (arcades) and is shaded by tall trees. The adjoining Alameda plaza is also a great place for people-watching, with its trinket-toting vendors, street performers and informal clothes market.
By day and night, the square is bustling with life, as marimba ensembles, brass bands and roving buskers float their melodies among the crowds, hawkers try to offload pretty carpets and hideous balloons, and lovers parade in slow rounds under the trees.
Give your legs a rest after wandering in the parade, don't just passed by this swanky tasting room.
7. Mezcaloteca
This is the best place in the city to visit if you want to learn about mezcal. The staff here can teach you about how mezcal is made, and you will get a crash course in how to taste it and what to look for in a quality product.
Call ahead to book a tasting session, and come prepared to ask questions.The hosts will offer you a selection from the house brands based on your tastes. They work with small-batch producers to create a number of unique, blended, wild-crafted and aged mezcals that can't be found anywhere else.
And it comes to the time for surfing and swimming in Pacific Ocean.
8. Punta Cometa
Punta Conejo is a rocky cape located at the west end of Mazunte beach. It is a great place to hike at sunset, with stunning views of the Pacific Ocean. To get to the cape, take the lane toward Playa Mermejita off Calle Rinconcito, and go left up the track immediately after the cemetery.
You will reach the community nature reserve entrance after 250m. From there, you can take the path leading down to the right or the central path to get to the Punta.
9. Playa Zipolite
Zipolite's beach is a great place to relax and soak up the sun and it's famous for its nudity. People of all ages and genders can be found sunbathing, swimming, or walking around without clothes, which is the most iconic scene of the beach.
Exhausted from the sunbathing? You got a outstanding dining option here.
10. La Providencia
The restaurant combines exquisite flavors, artful presentation, and a relaxed ambience. You can sip a cocktail in the open-air lounge while you peruse the menu.
The contemporary Mexican cuisine is sure to please, with options like amaranth-encrusted aubergine, beef medallions with red-wine reduction, and coconut-crusted prawns with mango sauce. And pro tips... save room for their chocolate mousse!
No music? No music! But this Oaxaca!

Last but not least...
12. Guelaguetza Show
The Guelaguetza is an annual indigenous cultural event in Mexico that features traditional costumed dancing by gender-separated groups. It includes parades of indigenous walking bands, native food, and statewide artisanal crafts, such as pre-Hispanic style textiles. The event takes place in the city of Oaxaca and nearby villages.
If you're interested in seeing this traditional Mexican dance, the best place to go is the Quinta Real hotel. The hotel hosts a highly colorful three-hour show on Monday evenings, featuring regional dances from across Mexico, as well as an impressive display of traditional Oaxacan costumes.
Oaxaca is a truly magical place that should not be missed yet an unforgettable destination for travelers from all over the world.
