Hello family

Fernando,Edu,Caro and I met Tete and Ruben at a toll booth on the highway to Cuernavaca. Tete and I switched vehicles and I went with Ruben and both cars headed down the highway about an hour to a small town called Tepoztlan. It is a town with a beautiful sharp cliffs in the mountainsides. The main attraction is a pyramid built on top of one of the cliffs. We climbed part way up the mountain path but the trail was too rocky and it was too far to go for the majority of us so we went back down after going about half way up.



Today was the day of the eclipse of the sun so there were many young people climbing to the pyramid but the sky was overcast and the eclipse was not very significant in this area so why they were climbing, I don't know.

I pointed the camera up towards the sun to get this photo during the eclipse
Nice church

We went to a beautiful restaurant in the town and then came back to Mexico City. One of the main roads in the city has been doubled by building a second level above the original roads. The road is super fast and if time is important and you have about $30 for the toll it is a good way to get across a major part of the city.

Caro had a couple of appointments tonight and now we are just sitting around.
