Highlights
Xochimilco - floating, drinking, eating, partying, musica through the ancient canals of Xochimilco. Vendors float by and sell flower crowns, trinkets, margaritas and palomas, mariachi, a totally unique experience.
Lucha Libre was so different and fun! Entertainment in its finest: wrestling, costumes, story-telling, acrobatics, beer, laughter. A blast!
La Gruta lunch in a cave. Gorgeous and unique setting, tasty food (including crickets and ant larve!)
Teotihuacan - gigantic ancient city, historic, spiritual, fascinating
La Palomilla B&B was an amazing host venue. Buying out the hotel and using their team to coordinate the trip was the best money I've ever spent.
