A country that long topped my "dream list" of travel destinations, Bhutan is also a country that I didn't know very much about. Despite a few websites and a guidebook in my arsenal, Bhutan seemed draped with mystery even the day before my arrival, when I'd fly over the Himalayas and land in its tiny Paro airport. Because I was visiting in December, I worried that the country would be freezing cold, and I didn't want that to hinder my enjoyment or appreciation of the adventure. When turning to the internet for advice, however, I didn't find much by way of packing tips - "Bring a jacket" one website told me. Another said to "dress appropriately for the weather." Gee, thanks. How helpful. So, without further ado, here's what to wear in Bhutan, from personal experience.

Nuevo Laredo had been on our list of places to visit for far too long, so we decided enough was enough. It was time to visit Nuevo Laredo, Mexico! We wanted to make sure we enjoyed Nuevo Laredo to the fullest, so we did lots of research and asked around for recommendations on the best places to go and things to do in Nuevo Laredo. The list below is a compilation of the suggestions we received. Unfortunately, we did not have as much time there as we would’ve liked, meaning we weren’t able to personally tackle everything, but we still wanted to include them in the list since they received such high praise from friends, family, and locals of Nuevo Laredo. Want to be more prepared before your trip? We’ve been using the Rosetta Stone app! It has 5-10 minute lessons all on your phone with visual and audio cues to help you learn quick! Join Rosetta Stone now and get 50% off your lifetime subscription! How to Get to Nuevo Laredo, Mexico The fastest and most affordable way to get from Texas to Nuevo Laredo is by plane. If you keep an eye on ticket prices, you might score some great deals. The cheapest option is taking a Greyhound Bus, but your travel time won’t be quite as short. The bus will take you to Laredo where you’ll then walk across Bridge 1. Traveling by car is more convenient and you can make the trip in your own time, but there are certainly more costs, especially for tolls, gas, snacks, and any stops you may want to make along the way. From Dallas to Nuevo Laredo, it is about 431 miles / 694 km. Safety Measures While Traveling It is best to stay near the border and the Market (AKA Mercado Maclovio Herrera, which is mentioned more below). The best time to cross the border is in the morning. At the border, both militaries are heavily armed. To avoid any issues at the border crossing or along the border, we recommend hiding valuables, dressing modestly, not carrying a lot of jewelry and expensive accessories, and driving an inexpensive car. If you are looking for trouble, you’ll find it, which will not be good. But overall, the people in the stores, food stalls, and eateries are friendly and welcoming. If this route makes you uncomfortable, opt for booking a flight, arriving at the airport, and then going to your destination. The airport is small; there are no waiting rooms, places to eat, or phone charging areas; it’s more of a touch-and-go location. Where to Eat in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico Try Nuevo Laredo’s Famous Tacos At the border crossing, the tacos at “El Santo Niño,” also known as “Tacos El Papa Mundo,” are the best. They have been featured in the news and in popular city magazines. This small taco stand has appointed itself as the unofficial welcoming committee for border crossers. The taco stand has been open for over 80 years and more than three generations. It opens early and does not close until 9:00 pm. You can find the stand at the intersection of Galeana and Victoria, past the church. But if you’re having trouble finding it, ask around! Anyone can show you the way. Indulge at La Providencia Panadería La Providencia Panadería is the oldest bakery in Nuevo Laredo. It has been open since 1878, so yeah, they know what they are doing. They sell pan dulce and other traditional baked goods like donuts and cinnamon rolls. This bakery is a popular spot for locals and tourists alike in Nuevo Laredo. Grab Some Candy at Dulceria La Reina At Dulceria La Reina, you’ll find everything you need for party favors in bulk at an affordable price. There are piñatas in all sorts of shapes and sizes; boxes and boxes of spicy candy, gum and hard candy, sweet candy, and even party favors, gifts, and all you’ll need to make candy bags for your next event. Get a Refreshment at La Michocana La Michoacana is a staple you’ll find all over Mexico. At La Michaocana, you can choose from popsicles, ice creams, bolis (thick popsicle sticks), and aguas frescas, a beverage made with all types of fruit and lots of ice. This is the best place to let your body catch a break from the sun! Snack on Epic Elote at El Snack El Snack has the best elote and esquites in town. Esquites are corn in a cup with mayo, lemon, salt, cheese, butter, and other ingredients, making it a great snack at any time! Dine with the Locals at El Padrino No. 1 We didn’t have the chance to try this place, but it was recommended at least twice during our short visit. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and all their traditional Mexican dishes are perfect for curing any hangover or satisfying any craving. You’ll find foods like tampiquenas, milanesas, ternera, pollo en mole, carnitas, flautas, and enchiladas, or choose the Guisado Del Dia or the daily special. Get Your Hands on More Tacos at Taqueria Vicky Taqueria Vicky is also known as “Fat Tacos” because their portions are so generous. The gorditas are 35 pesos per person (that equates to about $2). They also offer barbacoa, picadillo, carnitas, and more. Let’s Talk About Food & a Good Time Get Serenaded at El Rancho The breakfast buffet at El Rancho is one of the most popular attractions in town. The menu includes scrambled eggs with sausage, barbacoa, carnitas, menudo, and more. We were there for lunch and had chicharones with queso fresco, choriqueso, salsitas, costillas de cabrito & cabrito de machito. The parrillada was also fantastic; it included fajita chicken, ribs, queso fundido, guacamole, onions, and jalapenos. There is also a mariachi band that plays songs per request for a donation, and sometimes there are even dancers in traditional dresses from the Tamaulipas region. The atmosphere is fantastic! Relax and enjoy some entertainment with aRead More »
