12 hours on the road

by dania luisa (Mexico)

I didn't expect to find Mexico

It might sound awkward to sit 12 hours in the car seat, but I think that all of this is worth it when you are enjoying the beautiful skies and cities that Mexico offers, I was able to better observe my country, learning new things and above all discovering different types of food that I didn't even know existed. When I arrived at my destination, the state of Colima, it was something totally different from the city where I live. It is a very quiet place, surrounded by wonderful landscapes and, above all, great people. This trip was full of exciting and new experiences that I shared with my family, I was able to get to know different states of Mexico and it is when you realize how different they are or what similarities they have, I was able to visit food markets, parks, fairs and even churches full of history, I think what makes each place so special is its history. I like road trips because they let you know a little more about the places and they are even full of great anecdotes, you can see places that you did not even think existed or that you imagined that they were so beautiful, this is something I learned when doing This trip is something that I would not change for anything and would do it again. On the way back I was able to go to the city of Guadalajara, I must say that it is a very large city, I had the opportunity to eat something typical of that,¨la torta ahogada¨, it sounds a bit strange but it is really delicious, in the same way I could taste the tamales sweets, I must say that they are the best that I have tasted so far, in the passage to the city of Guadalajara we got a little lost as the streets were somewhat confusing, but except for the gps I must say that it is a great help in road trips . When leaving the city I am left to observe the great mountains that there are, as well as the landscapes that Mexico offers.
