México en tus sentidos

While I'm away this weekend traveling in Mexico, here's a cool tourism video that I wanted to share. One of our cousins from Mexico shared it with me on Facebook this past week and I've got to say, it's definitely worth watching the whole eight minutes. If it doesn't tug at your heartstrings, put a tear in your eye, have you glued to the screen, make you want to visit Mexico ahora ...you might not have a soul. Just kidding. But really, if nothing in this video moves you or gets you excited, you probably don't love Mexico very much or don't know enough about it to know what you're missing! 😛

Happy virtual travels! We'll be back to the grind on Monday.

  • Leave a comment to let me know: What's your favorite part? I love the voladores de Papantla (at about the 4-minute mark) and the Ángel de la Independencia (around the 5-minute mark).

    Thanks for sharing this! It touches on so many of the wonderful images of Mexico. Very inspiring to watch...I loved the white pinata and the glimpses of the hardworking and skilled artisans. Happy New Year!
