wow what an amazing day. Today we visited Segovia one of the most unique cities that I have ever been to. There were many reasons The Aquaduct (the most well preserved Roman Aquaduct in the world), Meson de Candido (one of the oldest restaurants in Segovia dating back to 1786 and they cut pigs with plates) and the Alcazar of Segovia which in my opinion is the most impressive castle I have ever seen! all the best from Spain

Today is an amazing day in a little town in the center of Italy, its called GUBBIO. Today is the 15th of May, on this day every year they celebrate one of the oldest festivals in Italy. The origins of the race have both religious and pagan roots. The religious beliefs stem from the community's love for their Bishop Ubaldo Baldassini paying tribute to his death in May 1160. The pagan festivals is honor Ceres the goddess of the harvest.Today, three Ceros (About four meters tall and weighing approximately 280 kilograms) are assembled out of elm, spruce and oak are erected to represent: Saint Ubaldo, (patron and protector of the city), for bricklayers. Saint Giorgio for merchants. Saint Antonio for peasants. In order to participate in the race, you must be a citizen of Gubbio. Although occupation would seem to dictate the loyalty to a Saint, the tradition to passed down through families from father to son as a right of passage and sense of family honor. The dress is also traditional yellow, blue or black shirts, white pants with red scarfs and belts. The festivities began at dawn's first light. The narrow streets become a sea of color as voices rise and the Ceros are moved through the town a total of approximately four kilometers and 300 meters. The men carrying the Ceros are supported on both sides and are to run at full speed through the four sections of the race. Finally ending at the Baslica of Sant'Ubaldo where the Saints are lowered into a portal and the celebration continues until late in the evening. I have been participating in this festival for the past 5 years but this year I couldn't make it to italy. Trust me I will be there next year and carry the ceri again. It almost broke my shoulder every time lol.... be safe! OH and go to events and watch the video we filmed it last year. What an experience!

Today marks the one year anniversary of China's most horrific earthquakes. 69,000 people were killed in Wenchuan, China last year today when a massive (8.0-magnitude) deadly earthquake struck. Today Chinese President Hu Jintao attended a ceremony in the quake's epicenter Yingxiu Town, Wenchuan Country. The President expressed condolences to the victims and those who sacrificed there lives during and after the quake relief. The President thanks foreign diplomats who attended the ceremony for their contributions. I for one never heard about this earthquake. Im sure it was on world news but I must have missed it. Lets keep the victims and their families in our hearts.

Happy Mothers Day everyone I hope you all had an amazing day!

Today is an important day for many different locations around the world. Throughout history many different things happened on May 7th. In Istanbul, Turkey in 558 which was "Constantinople" at the time had a catastrophic event Hagia Sophia's dome collapsed. Hagia Sophia was is the only place on earth that was a mosque and a church. Also in 1832 Greece received its independence by the treaty of london. I definitely didn't know either of these just did some research ;) Oh and also on May 7th, 1718 the city of New Orleans was founded. hope you enjoyed the facts have a good one!

The 5th of May, better referred to as "CINCO DE MAYO" is a day of lots of drinking lol... Most people think that today is Mexico's independence day, but its not! MEXICO'S INDEPENDENCE DAY IS September 16th. The reason why this is such an important day in Mexico's history is because its the day that the Mexican army defeated the French at the Battle of Puebla on May 5th, 1862. Its actually not even a obligatory federal holiday, rather a holiday that is voluntarily. For everyone celebrating today be-careful and drink a tequila shot for me jajajajaja FELIZ CINCO DE MAYO!

When most people hear about Dubai they don't even know in what country it is in, all they know is that they are building the tallest building on earth, artificial islands and are creating the new mega city. Dubai is located in the United Arab Emirates, and its not the capital; Abu Dhabi is the capital of the UAE and its also creating a global buzz. It is the second most populated city in the UAE, and it is also the seat of the government. Now what is Etihad Airways? Etihad airways is the national airline of the UAE, it commenced commercial flights in November of 2003. Of all the reviews that I have read they say that Etihad is a far better airline then the bigger player of the country Emirates. Etihad fly's to over 35 countries in 5 continents and are expanding rapidly. Next time you hear about Dubai remember thats not the capital of the United Arab Emirates its Abu Dhabi, and the main airline of the country is Etihad Airways. FLY ETIHAD!

Today I was flipping through the latest issue of Forbes and I came across a section promoting KURDISTAN. Now I knew there wasn't an actual country called Kurdistan so I started reading the article. Turns out this is an area where the Kurds live and its made up of western Turkey, northern Iraq and eastern Iran. The article talks about how this is the upcoming vibrant business force in the Middle East. There's a lot of people that are investing a ton of money in this area and right now; Sounds pretty crazy especially right now during the recession. Here is a little bit of info about KURDISTAN: From a political standpoint, Iraqi Kurdistan is the only region which has gained official recognition internationally as an autonomous federal entity. Kurds in Iran are also officially recognized as a minority, although no Iranian territory is designated as ethnically Kurdish. Kurdistan is a mountainous region with a cold climate and it receives enough annual precipitation to sustain temperate forests and shrubs. Oh and if you want to check out the article online here it is http://www.forbes.com/2006/09/19/kurdistan-iraq-investing-biz_cx_jh_0920kurds.html CIAO!

Hey everyone I hope that today is a great day for you just as it is for me. For the next 4 days I will be releasing some very old videos that we filmed in St Augustine, Florida over a year ago.

At the moment Swine Flu has spread to 4 continents and its expected to kill Americans within the next few days. Over 100 people in Mexico have become victims to what officials are calling the fasts transfered Flu in history. Here are a little bit of facts about the flu. Swine flu is common in swine and rare in humans. People who work with swine, especially people with intense exposures, are at risk of catching swine influenza if the swine carry a strain able to infect humans. However, these strains rarely are able to pass from human to human. (At the moment it is being transfered from HUMAN TO HUMAN) The Swine Flu is a contagious respiratory disease that affects pigs. When the flu spreads person to person, instead of from animals to humans, it can continue to mutate, making it harder to treat or fight, because people have no natural immunity. (This is the situation at the moment) Everyone this is a serious issue. Be careful in the next coming days, if you get sick go straight to the hospital. Try not to come into contact with people that are traveling from Central America at this moment. Be safe and god speed! David

Today was a BIG day, I got my first tattoo's. For the past 6 months I have been thinking about getting my logo on my forearm, and for the past 18 days I couldn't stop thinking about getting T R A V E L and my logo on my arm. It was pounding in my head for days. Every single day of my trip throughout Costa Rica I was thinking about it. I went to Ocho Placas they are one of the best place's in South Florida. I filmed it and will be editing it friday and posting it. It was incredible, not really any pain just a tickling sensation. Heres a peek of my TAT...

I am now in Playa Flamingo its a small town of a few hundred people and the whole town is made up of tourist. We filmed at one of the best restaurants that I visited in the whole CR last night its called Mar y Sol. From there at 530 you can get the best sunset in all the CR, and then after that you can go down stairs and eat dinner. The chef is a 5th generation chef and has a unique touch to his food. He is American born but learned most of his recipes in France and Spain. Go to MAR Y SOL when your in PLAYA FLAMINGO. have a good one!

Its 6 am and I just woke up at my hotel Arenal Nayara the only boutique hotel in La Fortuna. I am posting this because for the first time in 3 days we can actually see Volcano Arenal. Arenal Nayara has 24 rooms and every single one of them has a view of the volcano. Here is a pic from my balcony that I just took. When your in La Fortuna you should only stay here!

Today we experienced for the first time HANGING BRIDGES. Have you ever been on a hanging bridge? Its crazy if you jump the bridges swing and your 200 feet off the ground. Funny we interviewed one of the workers there and he told us that one time a tree fell and there was 8 people on the bridge and it fell. Thank god none of them died, but it was close SERIOUS injuries! This is what a hanging bridge looks like. Till next time PURA VIDA!!!

Another damn bungee, it was intense! This time it was completely different I jumped from a crane into a pool, half my body went into it really crazy. I never thought you can get that close to death and survive lol. They also have a catapult rig and they shoot you up about 120 feet that was really cool. Oh and when you get up there you have an amazing view of the Arenal Volcano. When you come to La Fortuna, Costa Rica you should definitely check out arenalbungee.com

Yesterday we filmed at 2 of Costa Ricas most important beaches, Playa Hermosa and Playa Jaco. Playa Hermosa is the most famous surf beach in Costa Rica every day theres waves. At least thats what most of the local surfs were telling us. Jaco Beach is just awesome! its a 4 kilometer beach and it literally feels like your in Jurassic Park. At both ends of the beach there's mountains its amazing. When your in Costa Rica you cant miss these beaches. Next stop Sarchi city of Artisanal goods. This is a picture that we took at Jaco Beach, its an awesome beach.

Have you ever seen a Croc in the wild. Its is a freaking dinosaur that never became extinct. Today we saw a few bigggg ones. Im talking about 15 foot crocodile. We went to Tarcoles river and went on the Crocodile Man Tour, the man's name is Jason and he is a nut ball! Read Carlos's latest Blog entree to learn more about the crocs in Tarcoles. Look at this crazy picture!

Wow what a hidden gem. This place is incredible, its a small little town about 45 minutes south of Jaco. Its a mountainous town that only has restaurants, bars and hotels. The beach there Playa Espadilla is awesome. From there you can walk a short distance and enter the national park. Manuel Antonio is known for having more Monkeys then people. Literally there's monkeys all over the place. Look at this picture we took of one.

Have you ever seen a red eye tree frog? Its probably the most documented and spoken about frog in the world. Its very cool, they dont bite and you can grab them. In my hotel Mawamba Lodge, they have a frog farm and frog garden with adults. Its a pretty interesting animal and it could only be found here. Here is a look at a picture we took of one.

What a day! we woke up at 630 am and took us 5 hours to get to Tortugero National Park. This is pretty much the Amazon in Costa Rica. I will post some pictures later tonight.

So I am updating this 2 days late, because internet hasnt been easy to find here. This is a little town on the southern carribean coast, and its very rastahhh. This place is great for beaches, reggae is the only music you will hear at night, and theres plenty of good restaurants. If your in the area you should check it out, but it is a little dangerous you need to watch out here.

Today was a crazy day, to start I woke up at 5.30 am because all I could do was think about bungee jumping. I had never bungeed before in my life. Till the moment I jumped off the bridge I was sh*ting in my pants. Then once I did it I loved it. I did it three times in total, Carlos did it and we even got our body guard to do it. Crazy! what a day. If you come to San Jose, Costa Rica you have to check out Tropical Bungee! www.bungee.co.cr

Today was a crazy day. We had a two hour delay and then once we got here the streets were full of traffic. What a crazy place. I feel like I spent 5 hours just in the car today, so crazy I have never been in so much traffic in my life. Check this picture out!

Tonight we were the guest stars on University of Miami's comedy show OFF THE WIRE. It was a hilarious show, I will soon have it on my PRESS section in a week. I know you all will laugh your asses off!
