montanas

first things first, some pictures from the hike in Amatlan:


this is us walking through a canyon named Tepexi (I think thats how you spell it) which was a site of campesino resistance against the Mexican army in the 1940's. The man with the hat is my host dad, Don Bonfilio, and the woman is Charlene, a Canadian and the latest addition to the family when she married the youngest brother, David about 2 months ago. Here is another view:


the mountains on either side of us:



our destination!



San Jose de Los Laureles grows a large amount of nopal (catus) that you eat in traditional Mexican dishes.



the feria for San Jose de Los Laureles. We went in the church to pay respects to the patron saint, and it smelled thickly of flowers. mmm



I'll write about Costa Chica a bit later, or else this post will get extremely long.

peace
