Mexico is Calling...

     "Everyone has seen photographs of Mexicans wearing those big sombreros. When you come to Mexico, the astonishing thing is, nobody wears these hats at all."

-Bruce Beresford

    After much debate I decided to bite the bullet and go to Mexico. I want Mika to experience Mexico, she has been resistant to speaking Spanish and I want her to take pride in her heritage. My family and friends are not very approving of the idea of me and Mika strapping on some backpacks and traveling around Mexico for a month. However,  I've been dreaming with my grandfather and our many trips to Mexico when I was a little girl. I feel like I'm being called back to the motherland...
     I know for a fact that I want to go the pyramids near mexico city and the Frida Kahlo museum. Mika is interested in the many ruins throughout Mexico and Central America, so maybe I'll let her look up different archeological sites and pick a few. I've found that it is much easier for both of us when I let Mika "choose" where we're going next... Next stop, Mexico!
