Olympic Stadium Interior | Montreal, QC

November 26, 2018 by E. Casa de Calvo

I had the pleasure of taking the guided tour, which walks you through Olympic Park’s history and preparations for the 1976 Olympics. In addition to sporting and cultural events, the stadium houses a world class fitness training facility and olympic swimming pools. The Sports Centre boasts the most swim lanes of any facility in Québec, and is open to the public.

San Xavier Mission | Tuscon, AZ

September 22, 2018 by E. Casa de Calvo

San Xavier is a Spanish Colonial Catholic mission founded by Father Eusebio Kino in 1692. It is the oldest intact European structure in Arizona. The interior is filled with beautiful paintings, murals, and statues. The architectural design throughout is breathtaking!

Ellis County Courthouse | Waxahachie, TX

April 27, 2018 by E. Casa de Calvo

The Ellis County Courthouse is located at 109 S. Jackson St, Waxahachie, TX 75165. This historic structure has been fully restored and is operational. You’ll need to visit in person to see the amazing architectural details, such as the gargoyles, carved faces on the columns, and granite stone at the base. If you stop by during the day you can even take a free tour.

Downtown | Waxahachie, TX

October 8, 2017 by E. Casa de Calvo

One of my favorite places to be! The people are nice, the stores are unique, and there is history at every turn. Each building has an original style and most are very well maintained. Anyone who loves antiquing should consider a visit.

Modern Montréal | Montréal, Canada

May 1, 2017 by E. Casa de Calvo

Montréal is a vibrant city, mixed with historic and modern architecture. These photos were taken on a stroll around the city. I usually jot down the names of the streets and major locations, but I was having too much fun sightseeing, and completely forgot to take notes. Anyhow, you’ll just have to visit to see these places for yourself!

French Quarter in the Summer | New Orleans, LA

September 16, 2012 by E. Casa de Calvo

If you visit New Orleans, you will most likely end up in the French Quarter at some point. These photos are a glimpse of the storefronts and residential areas of the Quarter. As a side note, you should always know where you are going while in New Orleans. Just saying.

Downtown | Boise, ID

May 3, 2012 by E. Casa de Calvo

While I lived in Boise, the state capitol building seemed to be under constant construction. It may have since been fully renovated. Another impressive aspect was the town’s cleanliness (no sarcasm implied; it was unusually clean). I have yet to visit a comparable city, except perhaps for Des Moines, IA. Finally, if you are ever in the neighborhood, you must visit the Egyptian Theater. It was established in 1927, and has been beautifully maintained. I’ll never forget watching “It’s a […]
