We are in the midst of Dominican Heritage month here in DR, but for obvious reasons, I have Mexico on the mind. I’ve exchanged emails with another Jen in Guadalajara, asking questions and trying to build – as best I could – an understanding of what we’re getting ourselves into. I’ve searched around for blogs based in Mexico to get a feel for what life will be like there. And Instagram has me bubbling with anticipation. I searched hashtags like #culturamexicana #diadelosmuertos #mexicanfashion and #mexicanbloggers and these Mexican Instagram pictures are the result. Exploring Mexico is going to be awesome for so many reasons but here are 30…
Because Chichen Itza is an obvious duh!
