I met many life-long friends through a Spanish foreign exchange program! Go CUAM! My host family made me feel at home.

I stayed there for three months the summer I found out I was pregnant with my firstborn. I returned for another summer when he was 18 months old with the intent to stay forever. In the end, it wasn’t possible to get permission to work legally in Mexico and the punishments were harsh if one got caught. I adore the city. The weather is perfect, the people are friendly and loving. When I die, I have no desire to go to heaven or hell, but I want to return to Cuernavaca, sitting every afternoon in the courtyard of Las Mananitas, sipping pina coladas.

Introduction to Cuernavaca
November 20, 2006
Often called the "land of eternal spring," Cuernavaca is known these days as much for its rejuvenating spas and spiritual sites as it is for its perfect climate and flowering landscapes. Spa services are easy to find, but more than that, Cuernavaca exudes a sense of deep connection with its historical and spiritual heritage. Its palaces, walled villas, and elaborate haciendas are home to museums, spas, and extraordinary guesthouses. Wander the traditional markets and you'll see crystals, quartz, onyx, and tiger's eye, in addition to tourist trinkets. These stones come from the Tepozteco Mountains -- for centuries considered an energy source -- which cradle Cuernavaca to the north and east. This area is where Mexico begins to narrow, and several mountain ranges converge. East and southeast of Cuernavaca are two volcanoes, also potent symbols of earth energy, Ixaccihuatl (the Sleeping Woman) and the recently active Popocatépetl (the Smoking Mountain).
