A weekend with my Mexican friends
Following a wonderful two weeks in Quertero, I headed back south to Mexico City for a long weekend with my Mexican friends.
On Saturday we journeyed south west to the small colonial town of Tepoztlan, a town surrounded by beautiful landscape. The mountains neighbouring this town create a hugely contrasting environment to Mexico City, and I immediately notice the towns slower pace. We have lunch in the market, a vibrant ...
Four ceremonies and a party

... br> Then we borrowed Carlos' parent's SUV and started out to Guanajuato. We decided to get 100 pesos of gas first and stopped at one of the many, exact gas stations in Mexico (as there is only one company that is controlled by the Mexican government - so no one really knows the price unless you ask. It's never on the signs). The guy starts pumping our gas and leaves. Later we look up and realize it is at 300+ pesos so we start honking ...
