Shameless plug for you to read this entire blog post….full story after a very important PSA! The Turibus: While hop on and hop off buses are great in theory, you pay a nominal price (160 pesos or ~$8 USD) for one full day of travel to different parts of the city. We were able to…… Continue reading My mom got a phone number….
I always find palaces and McDonald’s…
Uber has really been helping us out on this trip! We grabbed an Uber to the Museo Antropologia to see the Aztec calendar stone. It is quite massive and you feel so small just standing underneath it. The museum has a lot of cool exhibits and these are the kind of museums I prefer to…… Continue reading I always find palaces and McDonald’s…
“Stand in front of the god of death, I’ll take your photo.”
Today started off at El Cardenal for breakfast with Mom’s cousin’s daughter Karla – who is also a photographer…the creative gene must run wide on that side of the family. I think that might make her my second cousin though I must admit, the winding branches of our family tree are still confusing to me.…… Continue reading “Stand in front of the god of death, I’ll take your photo.”
New word of the day: pata
Let me just preface this post that the alarm went off at 7am. On vacation. You may now proceed to the rest of the story. Alarm goes off. We wake up…well some of us wake up.

Even if it’s raining 🙂 At work (guess my former work now) there was a sweet older man (Max) who was just excited for me as I was to…… Continue reading Sometimes..there are tacos worth going out in the rain for!
“Don’t get blinded by the headlights behind me”
Today was finally our long-awaited trip to Mexico City! Dad drove Mom and I to the CBX border crossing pedestrian bridge where we walked over the border into the Tijuana airport. It was quite easy and I’d highly recommend getting there if you’re flying within Mexico. Once inside, we had to buy a tourist visa…… Continue reading “Don’t get blinded by the headlights behind me”
Time to “retire”…
Time to retire my old blog (http://globetrottergonzales.blogspot.com/) and go with this one! You can still read up on my past adventures as the blog will remain active, just not updated. Also, I officially told my Boss so I guess it’s also time to retire from work for 6 months! She took it really well and…… Continue reading Time to “retire”…
They said “yes!”
A lot has transpired since my first blog post and a lot of prep work has been done for this adventure (namely asking my parents to take care of Lola). I wanted my parents to know I put a lot of thought into this decision so I created a PowerPoint presentation on my plans. I…… Continue reading They said “yes!”
The Journey Begins
Thanks for joining me! Still a work in process as I figure out my life but it was time to retire my old blog for this easier to share web address! 🙂 Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter. — Izaak Walton
