Tepoztlan Mexico Hike


Staying at the Santo's means the market is almost another place to call home. We spent a fair amount of time there hanging out and checking out downtown.  The Santo's design, print/embroider and sell t shirts at the Artisan marketplace.
One day we each took an armful of T shirts and tried to sell them to the Mexicans in the square. Two tall white guys selling t shirts is not an easy task!  Kyle managed to sell two but got made fun of by a street comedian.  In his defense he didn't even realize there was a show happening.

We got very comfortable riding around town.  One particular evening we were riding our bikes home from the market.  We were ripping up a deserted one way street and Kyle hears a bunch of hooting and hollering behind him.  You know Trevor is having fun when he starts yelling hahaha.

We headed out to Tepozlan today for hike.  The town is famous for the remains of a temple built on top of the nearby Tepozteco mountain, as well as for the exotic ice cream flavors prepared by the townspeople.
We took the Ruta (Public Bus) from Cuernavaca.  It took about 45 minutes to get there, passing through several small towns.  We then walked to the end up the street where the trail started.
View from the top.  Took us about an 45 min- hour to get up.  Free admission on sundays!
Relaxing after a sweaty hike.

Ashley and Danni!
Tarzan?!
Lunch in the marketplace.
Making homemade pupusas.  This one is for you Matt and the guys from Servus!
Pupusas are traditional Salvadorian dish (as the Santo's are originally from El Salvador) made from handmade corn tortillas and filled a mixture of Oaxaca Cheese, double cream cheese and peppers.  Sometimes they are also filled with pork and re fried beans.
A big storm blew in and we ended up finishing cooking, eating and playing some card games by candlelight.  BURRO!

Thank you very much Santo's!! We has an awesome time with you guys in Cuernavaca!!!!
