Veracruz is beautiful, and they have a lot of history. It's right on the gulf.

cities OK? i'm sure you've been there, but go to san diego. balboa park has a lot of fun museums, etc. (sounds nerdy, i know, but its cool). The Reuben H. Fleet Science Center there has a nice interactive exhibit on sound. If you have a passport, from San Diego you can easily go to Tijuana, too. (do we need passports yet?) (do u live in Mexico City???) Go to Fillippi's in little Italy, but don't go @ a busy time (ie, Sat. night) GREAT food. Of course, another great place to go is San Francisco. (I LOVE CALIFORNIA!!!!!!!! i am a CA girl) Have fun, wherever you do go. I hope I don't sound too biased. HappySmile and best of luck! :)

Well I Will suggest you visit Puebla first 1 hour east of Mexico city , an old city with a lot of history, visit at Puebla city: Downtown and Cholula,

Then go further east to the town of Cuetzalan, a little town with red tile roofs and white walls with a rainforest atmosphere and an Indian markt, after that you can travel to Xalapa and dare to experience some rafting tour, after that you can go to Veracruz and stay at Boca del Rio, enjoy the beach and easy going life of downtown cafes or the night life at Boca del Rio.

Check a map and see this easter mexican route.

YOU CAN DRIVE TO PUEBLA, VERACRUZ, GO DOWN TO CAMECHE, QUINTANA ROO, GREAT BEACHES. IF YOU GO TO THE WEST, GO TO ACAPULCO ITS ONLY 3 HOURS BY CAR AND FLYING 40 MINUTES

on the east coast you can definately go to veracruz, they have some ancient route that are so beautiful and peaceful, also go to campeche, if you wanna go to the west coast go to acapulco, and oaxaca those are beautiful beaches too.
