Mexico Life

Hello again,

For this post I thought I would talk a little bit more about Mexico and how it’s different than America. For the most part Guadalajara is a lot like America. We have five malls(like I said before). This is the galleria. My favorite mall is Andares. It is all open air.We love the restaurants here  because most of them are all open air. Weather here is AMAZING! Right now as I write this, it is 73 out, and there is a breeze blowing. Back to the restaurants , food here is a little different. Here the Mexican restaurants will not give you chips and salsa. I KNOW RIGHT! Your like what………:) They serve you tostadas and lime. We eat at different restaurants all the time. We have a little “hole in the wall” place that we like to eat at called Hectors. Our whole family can eat there for 14 dollars. And then we have P.F. Changs, and Cheesecake Factory.  Which are VERY good. We  have one restaurant which is a must see for tourists. Sante Coyote is a Mexican/Indian restaurant.                  This bottom right picture is a traditional Mexican dish called molcajetes. It is shrimp, steak, chicken, cactus, onion, and cheese. You put all that in a tortilla, and it is the BOMB. Their dessert bar is huge!! You can also get crepes made for you.  So I’m going to address something that has surprised me. TACOS. They make tacos with 2 corn tortillas, chopped meat(not ground), onions, cilantro, and NO CHEESE. Yes you read that right. ZERO cheese. If you ask for cheese, they will bring you white cheese. Don’t ask me why:) But once I got used to the food, now I love it. So now that I have made myself hungry, I’m going to go and get a snack 🙂 On weekends our family will take little mini adventures to places we’ve never been. I hope to share that with y’all. My next post will be on something different than Mexico. Hope you all are having a great day.

Victoria 🙂
