So today we decided to take a little hike. We found a note posted to the board in the school and it said that there would be a bus ride to another little town and a walk down the mountainside. The flyer said 4 hours. That sounded just right. So we started out at 9 in the morning walking across town to the bus stop and taking a very comfortable bus to a little village called Santa Rosa.
While in Santa Rosa we took a peek at a little church, bought a couple of snacks for the journey, experienced a very interesting bathroom and then set off on our journey. It was a lovely walk and we saw beautiful views of the mountains, old mines, and ate lunch on a little hillside of a very small village. Then we walked down and got some helado and continued our journey. And we walked... and walked... and walked. How much further is this, we kept wondering. We walked along a riverside, sat down at a little lake resevoir, and walked through another little mining village.
So, 10 MILES LATER, we finally arrived back in town. It was 5:00. Did I mention we started at 9:00? Needless to say, we are a bit tired, a bit sore, but had a lovely time walking through the Mexico countryside.
Maybe next time we will ask a bit more directly exactly how far the journey shall be. Or maybe we shouldn´t. Sometimes it is better not to know!! Nos vemos...
