i'm gonna take her down to mexico

by Rachel Lynch


Mexico has always been a very romantic place to me. I actually have about three favorite "mexico" songs if you will, and they are as follows: 

- "My Old School" by Steely Dan

- "Mexico" by James Taylor

- "Going to Mexico" by Steve Miller Band 

I always listen to these songs the day leading up to my trip, and on the plane. I don't know why I adore Mexico so much, perhaps it's all the hospitality and good food or the fact that I'm Catholic. Everyone just seems to always be willing to go out of their way for you. I wish I could be a little more like that. 

Our first day in Mexico, we say the Diego Rivera mural in National Palace. Then we continued on to the largest Catholic Cathedral. There, I bought some rosaries for my family and close friends. We also saw inside Frida Khalo's beautiful blue home and then walked down the block to a local street food market. I swear when I'm in Mexico, I survive on guacamole, mango and tequila. Afterwards we went up to the Castillo de Chapultepec. 

The second day of our trip we went to the Pyramids, and for some reason I wore heels. We also saw the Sumatra Museum and I was in perpetual exhaustion just looking to enter a guacamole coma ASAP. 

I'm going to put links below to the two dresses I wore, for all of those asking for them!
