My Travel Journal, A Year Later

After a year since the trip of my life, I'm finally talking about some of my favorite places from the trip.

My Travel Journal, A Year Later
Patricia Vicente

A year ago I took the trip or a lifetime. I took a trip to México with my sister and cousin. By ourselves.

During this trip, I had the honor of visiting many famous landmarks and cities around central México. I had the opportunity to visit many new places, and also continue to add on memories to some of my favorite landmarks.

Here's my travel journal, a year later.

Cholula, Puebla

Patricia Vicente

As a first time visitor to Puebla in general, we decided to spend a day in the wonderful city of Cholula. My favorite part from the day trip was the view from a church at the top of a mountain. The image above is what I snapped of this beautiful view, and I personally feel that the picture simply does not do its true beauty justice. In the far horizon are the two volcanoes of Popocatepetl and Iztaccihuatl, both of which are still active to this day.

La Casa Azul

This famous blue house was once the home to famous artists Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. The house is now a museum and holds a lot of the original property of the couple's lives. La Casa Azul is a destination stop for those interested in the complex life of the wonderful Frida Kahlo.

El Callejon del Beso

Patricia Vicente

El Callejon del Beso is a popular tourist spot in the state of Guanajuato. Guanajuato is a very special place for me as it's the home state of my maternal grandparents. It was even more special for my sister and I this time around because it had been a long time since we had last gone to Guanajuato, both the state and city.

Xochimilco

Felipe VIcente

Xochimilco has plenty of history and wonders surrounding this heavily tour-sited destination. With it being the last transport system of vast water built by the Aztecs, it can give an insight to the outsider of just how important these boats are for the people living in the communities. Many of the boats have food and live music that is sure to entertain you for your ride.

El Museo de Antropología

Patricia Vicente

El Museo de Antropología, or the Museum of Anthropology, is probably one of the nicest places I have ever been to. This huge museum of multiple stories and buildings, retell the history of Mexico going back to the beginning of time. We had to spend a good amount of hours there when we went because there was just so much to see and learn. The one object that took my breath away from the moment I laid eyes on it would have to be the original Aztec calendar in its complete form. It's a sight many don't get to see in their life, but I recommend to for anyone who has the chance.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:
