Hello readers,
I’m posting the event update early this week as I’m going on a long weekend with my family :} I’ll be training with one of my clients in Manhattan on Saturday and enjoying the sights of NYC the rest of the time. I plan on eating “train tamales” (tamales from the street vendors in Queens- can’t be beat) and taking my kiddos to the Museo Del Barrio for their Dia de los Muertos programming. Hope you have a great weekend, too. ~Allena
