Salsa Round the World.!
These are not endorsments of places to go, just places that I have been
to and enjoyed. I'm keeping a log for my personal enjoyment but if it is
a useful list - great!
USA
Philadelphia
Brasil's. Great on a wednesday and a good place to meet
certain Ecuadorians!

night. This place had the best view of Philadelphia

with Elvis and his band were great.

river, live band, hot hot weather, great crowd, what more can I say
