Love is Eternal Spring in Cuernavaca, Morelos

by on March 14, 2015 in Destination, Mexico Travel

I didn’t realize I traveled to the State of Morelos when I visited Cuernavaca, but when I left Mexico City for the city known to have an eternal spring I did just that. Cuernavaca is often an escape for the people who call Mexico City home because of the stable climate and abundant flora. Even […]

The Tranquillo Rural Heart of Baja California, Mexico
