We had an incredible hike on our day "off" in Tepotzlan. We started in town and hiked our way up a mountain to where we could get up close to the pyramid El Tepozteco. When we began our hike, we were assured that there were switchbacks up the mountain. We learned quickly that there were no switchbacks...indeed, just straight up the mountain! It was about a mile hike up from the base of the mountain and we made it up in about 1 hour. It was the perfect temperature for hiking and a pretty easy-going trail (although, I wasn't the one carrying Isaiah!). It was great to get out and do a nice hike.
Another day we had the chance to go on an outing as a group to some ruins. This was also very beautiful. Unfortuately, our translator wasn't with us this day and our guide only spoke Spanish so we didn't get to fully understand the story behind these ruins. It was a beautiful area though.
Overall, our trip to Mexico was a great success. We had a wonderful time and Isaiah did great. He was the best traveller we could ask for. We were told before we left that Mexican women love babies; in reality, I think it's safer to say they ADORE babies. I don't think it helped that Isaiah has blonde hair, blue eyes and fair skin! :) Everyone wanted to hold him and play with him...it was really sweet and made us feel very welcomed. Living at the retreat center was the director's grandaughter who was born just three days after Isaiah (she, however, was MUCH smaller than Isaiah). Here are some pics from that:
Our trip to Mexico wouldn't be complete without an outside bath! :) Nate and I thought it was fun, but Isaiah didn't think so though.
