As I am visiting Mexico right now, I thought it would be more than fitting to write about my experience so far. When my mother first told me we were going on a family trip to Mexico I was honestly in my head saying “why of all places would you pick Mexico” but here are some things that I was wrong about:

1) THERE IS NO QUESO!

For years I thought “oh if I could go to Mexico I would be showered in queso and there would be cheese dip everywhere” FALSE. Hispanic people do not eat queso and if they do it is not at all what you imagine it to be. However I have eaten a melted goat cheese dish and it was fantastic.

2) There Are Not Cartel People Kidnapping or Bad Behavior Whatsoever.

There are several security men around the big parts of the town and so I have not once felt unsafe or seen “scary” people at all! Everyone here is very friendly and have been really nice to my family since we can only speak broken Spanish.

3) The Native Pottery Is Going to be very Minimal and Pricey!

FALSE! I went to the market today and not only did they have great Mexican pottery but also I got five big pieces for 75 dollars! A big score because I am obsessed with Mexican pottery.

4) The Margaritas are going to be AMAZING

I hate to say it but once again FALSE! I do not know what it is but just taste like there is a pound and a half of sugar in it and after I had one, I had a terrible headache! The mojitos however are the best I have ever had so ditch the marge and get the mojito, you will thank me later!

I really have enjoyed my time and I can not wait to make many more memories with my family.
