Did you know Los Angeles and Mexico are sister cities?  Here's more info from the City of LA website on all of it's sister cities: 

"A sister city is created when a community decides to join with a community in another nation to learn more about one another, and to develop friendly meaningful exchanges. A sister city becomes official with the signing of a formal agreement by the top elected officials of the two jurisdictions. A sister city is a broad-based, officially approved, long-term partnership between two communities. These partnerships have the potential to perform the widest possible diversity of activities of any international program, including every type of municipal, business, professional, educational, and cultural exchange or project. Sister city programs involve local government, businesses, and a wide variety of citizen volunteers including nonprofit organizations."

In addition to Mexico City, I have travelled to three other sister cities to LA: Vancouver-Canada, San Salvador-El Salvador, and Tapai-Taiwan.  I hope to have the opportunity to visit other sister cities to LA during my lifetime. Not only are all these places fabulous places to visit, but they also deepen our own understanding of the many cultures that make Los Angeles home.
