Our Mexico -- Independent Travel in Mexico
Description
Why "Our" Mexico?
The key objective is to experience events, lifestyles, attitudes, cultures, political outlooks, and theological views utterly different from what you ordinarily encounter at home. Unless that happens, why travel?
It was seven years ago that we first visited Mexico. After some reading, we chose Merída, in Yucatan, picked a local hotel from a guide book, made plane reservations and went. Since then, we've gone to Mexico every chance we could get--to Oaxaca, Guadalajara, Guanajuato, San Miguel de Allende, Querétero, Morelia, Mexico City and other places. "Our" reflects the personal nature of the experiences travelers to Mexico can have. Our Mexico is an Internet site devoted to independent travel in Mexico. By creating it, we hope to encourage others to share travel experiences about places to visit, about interactions with the people of Mexico and about places to stay.
Mexico is a country with cultures and history over a thousand years old. These cultures have intermingled in highly complex ways to make the country what it is today. It's a country with villages that preserve centuries old customs; museums filled with stories of revolutions, art and archeology; art festivals and institutes; music and dance of all kinds; festivals to celebrate a myriad of religious holidays; an incredible variety of natural beauty; and people--friendly, generous, interesting people willing to share, converse and trade experiences with anyone willing to make the effort.
