When we first arrived to Mexico, there were lots of signs and people talking about the upcoming Independence Day and how this year it would be a big celebration since it was Mexico's 200th birthday. To our surprise, we realized pretty soon that it was on My Birthday, September 15th!!
How special... we decided to go to a small town that a lot of our friends recommended us. It is called "Valle de Bravo". A very small town where a lot of the people from Mexico city have little rural houses to spend the weekend and relax!
We loved the town right away, with the small plazas where they sell all kinds of traditional mexican food, stone roads beautiful churches and colonial architecture...just beautiful!
Back to my birthday now.... we celebrated pretty much all day...going to town for a stroll and mariachis, to a very nice restaurant with delicious mexican spicy food...which I now like a lot!! and then a big celebration at night with big hot air ballons being sent off to the sky and of course...fireworks!!
I'm loving all the traditions and festivals and learning soo much about joy, laughter, good food, enjoying life in the sweet company of the ones you love dearly!!
Feliz (belated) Cumpleanos a ti! sounds like a wonderful way to celebrate.
