My trip to Mexico…
My trip to Mexico went very well, with a lot of surprises all the way.
I arrived in Mexico city on April 5th and met my friend Letti at the airport, she was coming from Toronto so we met at the airport, she is a fantastic girl, we have been friends since teenager and don’t see each other for years.
Then we went downtown Mexico City, It was just breathtaking, cleaner than people had told me, more organized, the traffic was bad on that day because if was holiday (Easter week) but overall downtown was full of colonial buildings, cute green and white VW working as taxis (riding a cab is very cheap there), and friendly people, I strangely I felt safe there, and of course I took some pictures, I wish I had more time there but we were late to head to the theater.
We both are crazy about theater so we went to see a play called ”Confessions de mujeres de 30″ , it was so funny, and so true!! after the play we went to Taxco…another beautiful city.
We arrived in Taxco very late and went to sleep in my friends friends house, which was beautiful on the top of a hill.
Taxco is a very uncommon city, it is know for its jewelry, their artisans elaborate brilliant designs and creations with delicate labor in silver, that’s was my main reason for my trip to Mexico, to buy Sterling Silver Jewelry, as most of you know by now I sell jewelry and travel to get the most original creations to sell to my clients.
On Friday we saw a procession, It was very impressive to see how people do such sacrifices in name of their faith, big crosses were carried by little men, autoflagelation, sticks with thorns, women in chains wearing black under a hot sun carrying huge candles, tons of people from all around Mexico spent that saint Friday in Taxco, for me was a really great experience.
Food in Taxco and overall in Mexico was just awesome, too spicy for my taste but people there were so nice to exchange the dish for a “non” spicy dish at not extra charge (In Paraguay we don’t eat spicy at all)
Restaurants there were incredible, very traditional, most of them with great city views, good prices and peaceful or even romantic ambiance…
On Saturday we went to the Tianguis (jewelry fairs) in an old jail now full of jewelry booths, so many stuff, so many jewelry, stones, prices…I got overwhelmed and at some point I was just too tired to see more jewelry…It was just too much for 1 day, but they have this tianguis just on Saturday’s so we had to but fast because we were on our way to Acapulco…and we wanted to arrive there with daylight to catch the last sun rays before down…
Acapulco part is for tomorrow…=)
