The quaint plazas and leisurely pace of life lures us to Taxco and the abundance of silver products entices us to shop! This is the silver capital of Mexico, with 60 mines still in operation and many skilled silver artisans offering their wares. The silver is mined, refined, and formed into bars from which the artisans create silver goods ranging from the purely ornamental to the practical, and craftsmen begin as apprentices to learn the traditional process. We learn about the distinguishing marks and standards on the bottom of silver products after visiting Santa Prisca Church, an impressive Baroque building with a stunning interior built by the French silver baron Jose de la Borda. We also visit Arch Avenue where native crafts are sold, and then we venture to the city of Acapulco. Water activities, lush vegetation, golf courses, and sunshine 360 days each year draw tourists from other parts of Mexico and around the world to this resort area. One of the main attractions is the La Quebrada Cliff Divers, professionals who dive from dizzying heights into a narrow inlet after praying at a shrine to the Virgin of Guadalupe. After a day of outdoor fun, save some energy for a night of dancing in one of the many clubs that dot the city or attend a performance of a local dance or native ceremony to complete your visit to Acapulco.

Acapulco, called the "Riviera of the West" is Mexico's oldest, largest, and one of its most popular, seaside resorts. Enjoying a romantic and glorious history, it is a twenty-four hour, non-stop city, with glamour, glitz and pure luxury. In this program we share in the Mexican flavor and tradition that makes this city one of the most exciting places in the world. At Playa Revolcadero, horseback riding along with surfing is popular on this white sandy beach; also parasailing provides a spectacular birds-eye view of the Sierra Mountains. Cliff divers have thrilled visitors since the 1930s by diving off La Quebrada cliffs into the surf 12 stories below. In the old part of town, flea markets are a popular shopping attraction with more than 500 booths and items such as pottery and jewelry from the state of Guerrero; also family and friends spend Thursday afternoons eating pazole, a mixture of chicken and pork stew. Since seafood is plentiful, 75% of the residents here are employed in the fishing industry. Lastly, we witness a rain ceremony, a gravity-defying, ancient Indian ritual, which is still performed today for tourists.

This introduction to the Reno and the Lake Tahoe area begins by exploring the famous ghost town "Virginia City." Located southeast of Reno, this historic mining town was the most important stop between Denver and San Francisco during the silver mining boom in the 1800's. Here we see Piper's Opera House; built in the 1880's, this vintage theater attracted famous actors, singers, and musicians such as Buffalo Bill Cody and the Wild West Review. Also we board the Virginia and Truckee Railroad, once an important short train for moving silver, but today used only as an excursion train that takes tourists into 6 Mile Canyon. Next we head to Gold Hill, population 100; home to the oldest hotel in the state of Nevada, the Gold Hill Hotel. At the Virginia City Mines we learn that in two decades $18 million of gold and silver was mined here, which helped finance the city of San Francisco and the Union during the Civil War. We visit the 4th Ward Schoolhouse, which was built in the 1800's during the mining boom; this architecturally advanced building once accommodated over 1,000 students. Then we visit Sparks, Nevada; named after Governor John Sparks, this city is known for many attractions on Victorian Square and some of the best food is served at The Nugget, a family operation established in 1955. Lastly, we visit Lake Tahoe, which borders California and Nevada; it is the largest alpine lake in North America.

Canadians are rightfully proud of their national capital city, Ottawa, and in this program we discover why. We learn right away what it is to be Canadian in this naturally beautiful city, which lies on the banks of the Ottawa River, a major waterway that forms the boundary between Ontario and Quebec; the Ottawa too contains the mouths of the Rideau River and Rideau Canal; the latter has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The country's fourth largest city, Ottawa has much more to offer its citizens and visitors alike. Love history? Then you'll love visiting the historic Parliament buildings on Parliament Hill; these are among Canada's most recognizable heritage sites; next we indulge in culture and view Canadian artwork at the National Gallery of Canada; then we explore the ByWard Market, the cradle of the city's French population, which once was known as Lowertown, but today is a bustling site with an exciting array of restaurants and boutiques. By tour's end viewers totally understand Capital Pride.

We begin our visit to Ottawa, Canada's capital city, at the Centennial Flame, built in 1967 to commemorate its 100th birthday, and we learn of the many festivals held here each year. Located in the province of Ontario, this city's pride is Parliament Hill, a historic cluster of buildings still used for legislative sessions. Built between 1857 and 1876, some have called it the purest example of Gothic Revival architecture in the western hemisphere. Parts were gutted by fire early in the 20th century, but the original section still houses the Library of Parliament. Royal Canadian Mounted Police patrol the area, and a highlight for tourists is the changing of the guard. Rideau Canal, a National Heritage Site, is one way to access all the historic areas of the city. Built for the city's defense during WWII, it is now used for pleasure boats. In the winter it becomes the world's largest skating rink and the perfect way to get to work each day! If you prefer walking instead of a boat ride, Sparks Street is the place to visit. This pedestrian mall and outdoor market is a stroller's delight. The National Gallery of Canada is another attraction not to be missed. Established in 1880 for the country's art collection and moved to a new building in 1998, the glass tower of the new architecture rises above the skyline to create an artistic statement of its own. Another landmark is the Chateau Laurier, built in 1912 as a railroad hotel and for members of Parliament. Its elegant Art Deco decorations still fascinate the many celebrities who stay there. Our last stop is less than twenty minutes east of Ottawa, a green space just outside the city. The Mer Bleue Conservation Area is a preserved ecosystem that delights visitors. A boardwalk spans this wetlands, best known for its sphagnum bog, and in winter there are cross-country ski trails to travel.

Welcome to Cuernavaca, the capital of the state of Morelos and world famous for its temperate climate. The Spanish explorer Hernan Cortes founded this city in the 1500s, and his former palace is now the city's museum. The Cathedral, built in the 16th century by Franciscan monks, rises above the city's skyline. Its simple and austere interior complements the Gothic architecture and the fortress-like quality of the building, and the open air chapel outside the Cathedral is part of the original structure. Part of the monastery became the home of American millionaire Robert Brady in the 1960s and now houses an extensive art collection highlighted by the painting, "Self-Portrait with Monkey" by Frida Kahlo. Las Estacas Park is another attraction to visit. This ecological reserve is a peaceful sanctuary within the city, where you can enjoy many different types of water activities. Just outside Cuernavaca is one of Mexico's most important archeological sites, Teopanzolco. This was a major trading center for Indian tribes and a cultural capital of Mesoamerica for 200 years. We visit the Pyramid of the Plumed Serpent and see the carvings that were integral to the Mesoamerican calendar. Another attraction outside the city is the ultimate eco-adventure: white-water rafting! We learn the basics of this thrilling sport before rafting down the Amacuzac River. Back in the city, our final attraction is a relaxing spa experience at the Hosteria Las Quintas, the perfect ending to an exciting visit.

Santo Domingo Church is known for its Baroque altars and was originally part of a Dominican monastery completed in 1611. Also we learn of Talavera Pottery, which is famous among Mexican crafts. These colorful ceramic tiles and artifacts with strong Moorish influence are a type of majolica earthenware still manufactured with the same techniques as in the 16th century. Coatepec, in the heart of Mexico's coffee region, has the flavor of Old Mexico and is home to the neoclassical style church Virgin Lady of Guadalupe. Then we visit Posada Coatepec Hotel, one of the most charming haciendas in Mexico, with peaceful gardens, original paintings and tiled rooms decorated with antiques, which offer history with a warm welcome.
