Our little cabin in the woods

My day started early as I woke up just before 6am. I decided to seize the opportunity to do some journaling and watch the sun rise over the city. I also took a 2.5 hour walk through the little streets, finally catching up with two precious friends back home via skype.

After a long drive to Popocatépetl, one of Mexico's highest vulcanos, we really enjoyed the views of the 5452m high giant and it's surrounding national park. To our surprise, Mexico has this alpine treasure - unfortunately also with alpine temperatures ;)

We found a rather remote little place for the night with a bunch of cabins in the woods, and a restaurant that closes at 6pm. Luckily, we got there at 5:50 and got to order dinner just before closing. We've since been chilling in our little cabin, warming by the fire and playing games. This is totally my kind of day :)

Tomorrow, we're going hiking!!! 8 hour trek up Iztaccihuratl at 5286m, the vulcano right next to Popocatépetl. Cannot waitRead more
