Deidre in Mexico

The picture of the balloons is in the zocalo (plaza) at Cuernavaca, before I got the bus to this smaller town nestled in a ring of mountains with an ancient Aztec Pyramid at the top of one of the mtns. It was a steep climb today, and lovely to sit on the narrow ledge at the top enjoying the view and helping each other not fall off, as there were all ages, including little children. This town is very peaceful. It is 1 hr from Mexico City and when I arrived after 2 days travel without much sleep, I came here to catch up on time zones and rest. I DO LOVE MEXICO.  The people are so warm and friendly and speak softly and are affectionate with each other. I have had lots of short, sweet conversations in the market with old men and women selling fruit or veggies, asking directions and walking about. Here are some photos of Tepotztlan and the pre-hispanic Pyramid of Tepozteco at the top of the mountain. This region is supposed to be the birthplace of the winged serpent Quetzalcoatl.
My activities - went to a folkloric concert in town, but didn't take a camera. Beautiful music, dancing, singing from various regions and epochs.
A concert last night from a Mexican popular singer, Tony (need to check his name), Alexis Flores and her father Hidalgo. Amazing. After the long walk/climb today had an icecream at Tepoznieves.










Staying in a nice quite little posada (inn) and walking around in the evenings with no fear, except when cars come along the narrow streets and are going so slowly its like being stalked, except that its the stones (piedras) in the cobbled and steep narrow streets that makes cars slown down. Hasta lluego.
