Leaving for a road trip
today…
Through the heart of
Mexico.
First flying to
Guadalajara…
Then renting a car...
And driving to a small town two hours away…
And driving to a small town two hours away…
Where I’ll join friends
at 11pm…
To celebrate El Grito—the
cry for independence.
It's Mexico's holiday for when they conquered
the Spanish.
A few days later.
I’ll attend a
quinceanera...
A celebration for girls when they turn 15.
A celebration for girls when they turn 15.
Next, to the town of
San Miguel de Allende…
Which some of you may
know…
Is the site of one the
most famous…
Writer Retreats.
Check it out for next
February…
Some amazing speakers
will be there.
Like Elizabeth Hay, Joyce Carol Oats, and others.
Next, on to Guanajuato…
Next, on to Guanajuato…
To see the famous
mummies…
From there, Puebla…
Know as the
gastronomical city of Mexico.
Then up into the Sierra
Madre Oriental...
A mountain range running
parallel…
With the Gulf of Mexico.
I plan to see several
ruins along the way…
Including the famous
Olmec megalith heads…
Plus explore shops wherever
they turn up…
Letting serendipity guide
me to find treasures.
Then on home.
Feels weird that I just
started my blog again…
Then I’m off on a 15
day road trip…
But I believe…
We are all on a
spiritual journey…
And I’ve learned to
follow my heart…
Wherever that takes me.
Hasta luego amigos.
Catch up with you…
On the flip side of the
tortilla.
Always,
Em-Musing

Celebrations and ruins - that sounds like a fun two weeks. I'd probably take a thousand photos.
Safe travels and have a great time! Tell us all about it when you return.
Saw you stopped by y site today and I was glad to come here and reaquaint myself. This sounds like a marvelous trip. Wish I could join you. Don't get into too much hot water, Ha! I'll be looking forward to your return and the stories you'll tell.
I find it interesting that Mexico's history is very similar to America's when it comes to how it became a real country. They even borrowed the United States name though in Spanish of course.
