Mexico City, Central Mexico and Gulf Coast, Mexico

August 16 -Basilica (shrine of) de Guadalupe
The present church was constructed on the site of an earlier 16th-century church that was finished in 1709, the Old Basilica. When this basilica became dangerous due to the sinking of its foundations, a modern structure called the new Basilica was built next to it around 30 years ago; the original image of the Virgin of Guadalupe is now housed in this new Basilica.

The new Basilica's circular structure is 100 meters (330 feet) in diameter, and can accomodate up to 50,000 people. Around the area there other 200-to-300-years old chapels and temples: Capilla del Cerrito, Capilla del Pocito, Parroquia de Capuchinas and Parroquia de los Indios.

Jalapa, Central Mexico and Gulf Coast, Mexico

Day 1
We started the road trip at 6am in the morning and made a pit stop to have home-made quesadillas for breakfast.

Day 2
We drove to the hot springs where some of the cousins did rafting on the neighboring river.

Day 3
We drove to El Sabanal beach and paid for a day-entrance to the Las Dunas resort. Even thought it was partly cloudly, the weather was hot-hot-hot. We ran to the beach and then enjoyed rotisserie chicken and beers by hte pools.
At night we drove to Coatepec, one of the 23 "pueblos magicos" in Mexico (http://www.visitmexico.com/wb/Visitmexico/Visi_descubre_pueblos_magicos), where we heard the Mayor commemorate the "grito de independencia" from the balcony of the town hall. Fireworks and mariachis followed. We ate "elotes" (corn on the cob covered with mayo, shredded cheese and chilli powder) and drove back to my cousin's home.

Day 4
We prepared "dobladas de mole" for breakfast, walked around the plantations and headed back to Mexico City.
