So glad sweetie!! We’ve gotta go back together someday, the three of us! :))
Great choices! Must have been cool to see everything in person, more impactful. 🙂
Thanks for reading, Eliza! :)) Yes, it really was. Empowering, really! It felt inspiring to be there, as if I had reached some milestone or something, oddly. 🙂
I totally get it – some places are like that. I finally ‘got’ history when I stood in the ruins of the Roman Forum. I looked at my feet and thought, ‘Julius Caesar once stood here!’ It made it real.
It really does! And memorable. What I read in history books I forget so much more quickly than what I’ve learned from visits! So glad you had such a good experience at the Roman Forum!
I can hardly wait to read more about your visits as this is the main reason why I want to go to Mexico City! Ever since I read the book and saw the movie Frida!
And your Instagram pics have really gotten me excited for your posts!!!!
Ah, thank you Nicole!! I so appreciate that. Although it is funny, I was just thinking of you today regarding this too, as I am going to use a lot of what I’ve written in my Instagram posts in my blog posts. I only have a few active followers that follow me on both platforms (which is why I had thought of you) that might notice. My blog will have more photos and more detail in the writing, but because I don’t have a huge overlap between the two, I think I’ve decided it makes the most sense. I can only do so much, you know? You know too well, I can only imagine. 🙂
I think you will really love stepping into their lives a bit, as I did this visit. It is easy to do, and so rewarding. I had such a wonderful visit. I can’t say enough good things about Mexico City.
I e been to Mexico City many times but mostly for work. Unfortunately I’ve never been to Frida Kahlo’s museum. Someday…
Nice blog, by the way! I’m writing this at 6am, but when I’m fully awake I’d like to read up on more posts! Have a great weekend!
Oh thank you!! I really appreciate that. :)) Do you every have any recreational time when you’re in the city? I imagine you’ve had some tasty meals! :)) Thanks so much for stopping by…
When I used to work as a flight attendant, we always had time to do a little sightseeing but not a lot. The layovers weren’t long enough to explore the whole city. I did go back on my own and brought my fiancée (now husband) and my mom and did a lot in the outskirts of Mexico City. There was one night we had a wonderful dinner at a cozy but elegant restaurant and people were really dressed up. I wish I can still remember the name of the restaurant.
Happy travels!
Sounds wonderful! 🙂 I never remember the names of restaurants either. But in recent years I’ve taken to marking them in my Google map, and that is a big help for my forgetfulness. :)) I’m glad you’ve gotten to enjoy the city a good amount. It has become one of my favorites!
Beautiful photos! Thank you for the fantastic insight and details.
Oh, thank you, Allison! :))
Your posts makes me want to visit
Your posts makes me want to visit Mexico, but the airfare from India is too expensive ?
Thank you for your kind thoughts, Sreejith! That’s the best compliment I could ask for. I think you’ll be able to come, someday. 🙂
