So close, yet so far...

Well, the time has come. I am down to my final week living in Mexico City and it has been quite the adventure. I have learned a lot about myself, my life, my career and what I want to do to improve and change all of the above.

When I first got to Mexico in June, I imagined what my experience would be like. Although I cannot say I have exactly followed that image to the t, I have definitely enjoyed every minute of my time here--for better or for worse--and learned to grow with each new experience. I also imagined writing in my blog much more frequently, but I think my patience got the best of me, not to mention, power and internet connections were not exactly dependable. In the end, I traveled to new places, tried new foods and learned new things. A wise friend once told me, "when you travel, you get to know people from all over the world...and most importantly you get to know yourself." In the case of my summer, that couldn´t be more true.

So here´s to the rainy afternoons, the tortas, greeting people with a hugs and kisses on the cheek, walking through colorful neighborhoods with cobble-stoned streets and hoping that I will always remember the wonderful experiences I had. DF--te voy a extrañar.
