Luminacia - Paseo Santa Lucia

-


A few days into our trip in Monterrey I noticed a hunch of my friends posting pictures with this particular lit up cattle in the back ground.  During dinner one day, my mother in law mentioned that we should go to Luminacia..

So we took off one evening and it was quite a view!


If you ever visit Monterrey you should definitely take an afternoon stroll down the "Paseo Santa Lucia".  It is sort of like the riverwalk in San Antonio.




They had over 500 pieces of light and fun, lit up Christmas villages and decor all over the river as a part of promoting tourism in this city. and the show ran until January sixth of this year.



When I saw these I was like "ooh, they recreated cappadocia", but then I walked though them and noticed they were actually maracas and trompos (two wooden objects famous in mexico)


A giant piñata



The Chinese tradition of metal structures and illuminated fabric combined with technology was created back in 1996. Creating a spectacular show of light and color for the whole family.






If you visit during any other time of the year, you can observe the 22 different fountains that are also lit up, the most famous one being "Fuente de las Olas".



There is no doubt that no matter what season, if you visit during night time you will enjoy various colorful scenarios along the Paseo Santa Lucia. You can travel on foot or by boat, and this is an experience that should not be missed in Monterrey.



What do you think, would you visit it?


Linking up with travel Tuesday.

 
Location: Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico

I read Rachel's post: liveblogging  a 12 hour flight to Bangkok and loved it.. granted not every flight is a good one but I figured I'd give this a go and try doing a similar post. I decided to record happenings on my most recent flight, even thought it was less than eight hours it seemed to go okayish and so i'm sharing it with you today. Here's how my flight went down: Before the flight, we were kind of worried about not having any in-flight entertainment since we booked our transatlantic flight with eurowings. 13:03 Board the plane. We get happy the plane does have in flight entertainment. We also noticed that every seat has a water bottle. Sadly only the ones with extra leg room get a blanket/pillow. 13:17  Find out the in flight entertainment requires a 9,99€ payment. 13:44  Time for the safety procedure demo. 13:53  Prepare for take off, then eventually take off. 13:56  Kid behind me says: "guck mal da unten die kleinen Autos." ...

I know I haven't posted anything in a while but I felt like I needed some time off. Lately I haven't had much free time, yet I haven't done much. Allow me to take you back and tell you what happened these past few months.. In July we took a trip to attend a conference in Boston and then stayed an extra week to visit the big apple. I loved getting to revisit this city and got to knock a lot of items of my NYC bucket list. Once we got back from our trip, Avi went back to her last week of school, and my cousin came to visit.. but I kinda screwed up and Avi ended up missing the last day of school (we took a day trip to Berlin instead). We had all of August free, and we took advantage of this (and a wedding in our hometown) and went to visit our family in Mexico. We had a packed two weeks in Mexico, during which we were able to catch up with a lot of friends, visit the BBVA Stadium and  Avi took an intensive swim course, she was able to get the basic done, but she...
