Mexico Trip during Quarantine 2021!

I know we are almost done with the first month of January, but honestly with everything going on I believe the first real day was post January 20,2021.

I must say that I finally took down my 2020 goals list and I have achieved all of them except for probably being consistent in my working out routine. Looking on the bright side, although I did not work out I did lose 5 lbs while in Mexico.

I was in Mexico City from the 29th of December to the 11th of January and it was amazing!! If you are in a deep need to leave this country and try a more organic lifestyle I would definitely recommend Mexico. While we were there I read a New York times article where it claimed that a lot of Americans are fleeing to Mexico.

What can I say? For someone who loves their family and is ok with staying in with my loved ones it was marvelous!! I will admit to the fact that my cousins and I did go out to a couple of tiangis but we were very careful.

I will note that although Covid-19 is taking its toll, I feel as if I had to be more precautious there. My aunt and uncle both have diabetes and my grandma is in her 80s so taking take was the number one priority. I went to Mexico City and this time I did not go to my favorite spots like el Castillo de Chapultepec or Bellas Artes or Frida's home.

This vacation I stayed put a bit home, I must say that compared to 8 years ago the quality of air has significantly gotten better!! The airport is amazing and I WILL stress that the American dollar goes a long way over there!! I took 400 dollars for two weeks and I will kid you not that I had plenty left. Uber is THE thing!! I highly recommend that if you want to travel fast in Mexico City TAKE UBER!! It is SUPER CHEAP!!

The last day we left the Metro had broken down and there were lines everywhere, which was causing so much chaos but the Uber driver made it a great ride to get to the airport.

At this point I know that the U.S. is requiring that when we come back to the U.S. we have to show that we are not infected. I must say this is rather hard because it would be difficult to find such a place in Mexico before boarding the flight.

I will state that I saw more people not wearing their masks in Mexico city than I do here in California, it seems as if there are a lot of people who do not care in Mexico and they are not taking it too serious. In my family household we were taking it super serious always spraying our whole bodies and shoes before we went inside the house.

I will note too that using Mastercard is SUPER easy!! I was super surprised that I was able to buy things with my card much easier and at more establishments.

For the first time ever we had AMAZING tacos al pastor, (here in CA those are my least favorite) but in Mexico!!! The Rosca de Reyes was AAAMAZING swell!! Honestly if it was not for the coming back to work I would love staying there!! Amazing trip!!

The FOOD AMAZING!! My uncle prepared us some chicharrones peparados OMG!! Honestly I ate more times a day and lost 5 lbs!! But if going to Mexico city take moisturizing cream because it is soo dry!!

Remember if going to Mexico now you will need to prove that you took COVID-19 test and did NOT test positive so I would recommend getting insurance on fight back in case you do test positive.
