The first mile was easy trail then we started to climb straight up with no switch backs. In some areas it was hand over hand climbing. We made it in hour and half but the walk down took a toll on my knees & hips. Both in our early 70's in age. It was a beautiful hike with lots of flowers, butterflies, and hummingbirds flitting around. We received tons of comments and views on our FB page. It was a gorgeous day. Nope, I'm not sore at all today....I thought I would be. We plan to hike again soon with other friends in our age category. My sister posted 'Sister made it up steep climb and I didn't have to call 911.'

We did have her smiling a couple of times though. We didn't talk with him too much as he was very busy watching the milk cooking away in order to make the queso fresco and needed to keep his eyes on the pot for the perfect time to stop skimming off the whey.<br /><br />It was a welcome stop for sure. :-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-58430496696307333202019-03-02T09:07:54.537-05:002019-03-02T09:07:54.537-05:00If you like this type of countryside then you real...If you like this type of countryside then you really need to stay inland, it is also usually cheaper unless you are in areas that have a large expat community like San Miguel de Allende and the Ajijic/Chapala areas.<br /><br />Always remember, if you have any questions ask away and we will try to help you out with the answers. We would love to visit with you guys in Mexico one day. :-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-52263869361924105822019-03-02T08:57:55.277-05:002019-03-02T08:57:55.277-05:00It was definitely a long one, even for us but the ...It was definitely a long one, even for us but the views were well worth it. :-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-42710193903929966432019-03-02T08:56:43.807-05:002019-03-02T08:56:43.807-05:00Your message has been passed along.Your message has been passed along.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-43283469669979335472019-03-01T18:51:10.547-05:002019-03-01T18:51:10.547-05:00When we were there in December, the woman was grou...When we were there in December, the woman was grouchy and not very friendly. Her husband had to push her to make us coffee. He was great entertainment and had worked in the U.S. for quite a few years.

We are going to be doing some soul searching over the summer and figuring out a plan for Mexico next year. Thank you so so much for making it easier for us to take the plunge. Maybe one day, we will be one of the people you stop to see in Mexicon on your caravan travels.
