During summer break, we planned a family vacation to a very attractive destination. Coyoacán in Mexico City is known as the "barrio mágico" because it is filled with numerous representations of Mexican culture, which I love so much. We enjoyed walking around the city and eating traditional foods at different street puestos! The area is full of beautiful colonial houses, some of which have been converted into elegant boutique hotels, pastry shops, restaurants and inns with delicious dishes. There are plenty of cafes and relaxing spots if you like to sit and relax.
It has been an extraordinary journey, filled with both challenges and triumphs, and I wouldn't trade it for anything. I’ve also had the privilege of teaching my daughters about their culture, instilling in them a deep appreciation for our roots and the values of hard work and perseverance. I’ve been given an opportunity to experience firsthand that we all have the power and ability to craft our own lives and redefine the meaning of success.
