Sharing My Experience

Family from California, Karin and Steve and Brian, my husband all came for a 6 day whirlwind visit and tour of Mexico. They loved the museums and wonderfully inexpensive food (they were here during the Candelaria and we ate tamales for breakfast each morning!). It is so fun to show others the "real" Mexico and perhaps change wrong impressions of this beautiful country.

We toured one day on the Turibus...a double decker bus that gives you an informative and comfortable tour of the centro historico and lots of the more quaint areas around the main city. It costs 10.00/a day with a headset to hear about all the sites and you are able to get off and on wherever you desire. They were also impressed with Teotihuacan's pyramids and La Gruta Restaurant, which is on the site but in a cave! Great ambiance. Two other must sees were the Basilica of the Virgen Guadalupe and the Ballet Folklorico at Bellas Artes Theatre.







My coordinator, Edith was also kind enough to take us to Taxco for a beautiful visit to this colonial town known for it silver. Long story short, 6 days isn't really enough to see this city. I've been here almost 7 months and haven't even put a dent in seeing all the museums!
