If you ever find yourself in Mexico City with more than a day or two I highly recommend taking the trip out to the Nevado de Toluca. About one and a half hours north of Mexico City, for me, it was a great day trip to do something different and explore the countryside of Mexico….

Dia de la independecia, Mexico City
Viva Mexico! Viva Mexico! Viva Mexico! This past week I was lucky enough to spend the 15th in Mexico while the City celebrated their independence day.

Fabrica de Vidrio, Mexico City
This past Thursday I had a really great opportunity to go to the local glass blowing workshop. This wasn’t your, wow look at all this really fine, delicate, expensive art, no.

Acapulco, Mexico
So I have a confession to make, I wasn’t looking forward to going to Acapulco. If you frequently read these posts then you probably know that I don’t really enjoy going to tourist areas. In my experience tourist areas using have loads of people, everything is expensive, you aren’t actually experiencing the true culture of…
