If you ever have the opportunity to go to Palenque, GO. If you ever have the chance to make it your opportunity to go to Palenque, GO. Make it happen, whatever you do. This place is magical. But actually. It’s a whole other world. I have visited many ruins all over Mexico and Palenque takes […]
Mexico
San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico
Have you ever traveled to a new place and just felt as though there was something in the air. As though you had arrived in a special place and the energy was, well, magical. That’s how I felt upon arriving in San Cristóbal de las Casas. My heart was beating a little quicker than […]
Mexico City in Three Days (or so)
In case you didn’t know, Mexico City is hot right now. My sister lived there for nearly five years about five years ago so I used to visit all of the time. However, lately, I have just used Mexico City as a hopping point to then fly or bus it to other parts of the […]
Where to go at night in Queretaro, Mexico
Queretaro is a city in Mexico that few people outside of the country seem to know about. Yet it’s one of the larger cities in Mexico and is only about a three hours drive North-West of Mexico City. (My brother-in-law would say it’s much less!) Queretaro has a beautiful historic centre which is one of […]

Our Mexican Adventure Part 3: Sayulita, Nayarit, Mexico
Please read the first parts of this trip if you haven’t already: Part 1: Quéretaro Part 2: Guadalajara & Tequila To me a vacation isn’t truly one unless there is some time spent in the ocean (or at least a pool, preferably a salt water one!). After spending a few days with the family in Querétaro […]
Our Mexican Adventure Part 2: Guadalajara and Tequila, Jalisco
You can read part one of our Mexican Adventure here. The second part of our adventure took us to Guadalajara, well, sort of. For 4 1/2 hours we traveled on a Primera Plus first-class bus from Querétaro to Guadalajara. The ride cost us 423 pesos ($35 CDN – seriously, this would give you a one […]
