Cuernavaca, Mexico
Anna´ entry:We stayed with a local family for a few days, who took an excellent care of us. Their house is located up in the mountains, in the pine forest, and we spent most of the time there. We decided to skip all the touristy staff, and just stay in. We really needed it - after weeks of covering miles in Central America, this rest stop was truly enjoyable. I had a nice connection with a head of the family - we shared lots of stories about our families, background, and coincidentally, her sister-in-law happens to be from Russia as well, so she knew my culture very well. She is an excellent cook, and it was a pleasure watching her make all the home-made food, and of course, eating it was a treat as well. They have two big dogs, that were rescued a couple of years ago, and it was fun watching them play all the time. Also, we were invited by another family to visit for a Mexican version of domino, and we stayed playing until midnight, and then the next day visited another family living next door. The other couple also has an international marriage - Dutch-Mexican, and it was interesting for us to hear their version of interpretation of what modern Mexico is about. Our stay in Cuernavaca was a truly home stay, and I am really glad we had a chance to experience it.
