Rioting in Cuernavaca

We were enjoying a quiet breakfast of an omelet and sopes on an outdoor patio, taking in the beautiful view of the central plaza. Like so many town squares in Mexico, it featured all the familiar elements: a park, a gazebo, a historic church, and the oversized colorful letters spelling […]

Temazcal in Tepoztlan

Don’t worry if you don’t understand two out of three words in the title, I will explain everything.  This year, we traveled to Tepoztlan, hiked up and down a mountain, and ended up in a temazcal. Ok, I’ll keep explaining. It was an intense, surreal experience, and I am still […]
