Hi all! I hope everyone is having a great Friday.
This week we chose to share travel photography (our favorite), foodie adventures, travel media events, and some do-gooder links. Enjoy!
Wayward Winos | Maya’s Hope Project
A core part of our mission at Sosauce is to use travel as a window to cultural learning. We believe in traveling with a purpose, leaving behind a positive impact on the world. That’s why we joined in the effort to aid natural disaster victims in the Philippines with our friends the Wayward Winos for Maya’s Hope Project. They take care of orphanages in the Philippines and are in dire need of monetary funds, clothing, and food to pull through the latest typhoon strikes in Manila. We’re glad to see that our donations served well, but there is still more to be done. Chip in and help this holiday season.

So thanks to Lola from Matador for reinforcing this notion with her yumtacular photos of the Texas dining scene. Here is a teaser photo for you to drool over:
