Yesterday we took the local bus to Tepoztlan, a picturesque mountain town about an hour from Cuernavaca. It is surrounded by bizarrely shaped mountains that reminded me a lot of Sedona in Arizona. The mountains are visible from almost everywhere in town, and on the top of one of them are the remains of a pyramid. The town was packed with tourists, many of whom came to see the weekend folkloric market. It was quite hot as we strolled around the cobblestone streets, and at some point in the afternoon we noticed a fire had started on the side of one of the mountains, so the air quality wasn't at its best. Here are some photos from our little excursion...
That's me...
