I didn’t realize I traveled to the State of Morelos when I visited Cuernavaca, but when I left Mexico City for the city known to have an eternal spring I did just that.
Cuernavaca is often an escape for the people who call Mexico City home because of the stable climate and abundant flora. Even the Aztecs kept summer residences here. Today it is known as a place Mexican high society keep summer homes and mansions. It is also a popular destination for weddings, like the one I attended.
