A Relaxing Sunday

This weekend is a long weekend for Mexicans celebrating Constitution Day.

Last night, we walked around the park and then had a delicious sushi dinner. So many good restaurants here! It has been fun making plans for where and what we will eat.

The owner of our hotel, Javier, and his son are going to a fiesta in a neighbouring town. Javier’s brother produces tequila and is having a big party. So for 2 days, we will be the only people here. He is leaving us in charge. lol.

For the past 3 or 4 days, we have gone up the 500 stairs and on the way down we have collected plastic bottles and wrappers to clean up that beautiful place. Yesterday, we finished and it looks great. Tomorrow it will be another day but we will take a small bag for garbage up with us every time we go up.

Today Chris had a ‘date’ with a man that we met on the stairs a couple of days ago. He has a house close to the stairs but works in the U.S. He wanted to show Chris some other nice trails.

Chris enjoyed his hike and talking with Jose. I think they walked up and down in the cerro for 9 km. through farmers’ fields and even met a farmer who showed them his lime grove.

I, on the other hand, went up the 500 stairs and it felt so much easier this time. Such good exercise followed by a swim afterwards.Leggi altro
