Welcome to Mexico!

For my 50th birthday we jetted off to Mexico City and Acapulco, with stops for pyramid climbing in Xochicalco and exploring Taxco, the city that silver built along the way. We were generously hosted by Jorge and Marlene, two bon vivants with a zest for life that is infectious and delicious.

The Pyramid of the Sun in Teotihuacan.

While in Mexico City I was able to stroke number 6 off of my life time “To-Do List” –  Climb a pyramid: hopefully a big one. And it was great to do it. Lots and lots of people climb it. I stopped to help an older lady, but she pulled away from me – it’s just something you want to accomplish on your own!

This is apparently the second (or was it 3rd) highest pyramid that you can climb. Sure some are higher, but you can’t get your butt to the top!
