Chiapas state- A few nights in the capital, Tuxtla!
Chiapas made us feel nervous. I will not lie about this fact. When we traveled across Mexico many years ago, Chiapas was the only state where we encountered a roadblock, […]
Visiting an “orphanage” in Mexico- Hogar Infantil
Hogar means home. Infantil means children. Hogar Infantil is a children’s home with an excellent record of success. It is not really an orphanage, as many of the children have […]

Mountain village scenes (Veracruz and Oaxaca)

Itza-Popo: Volcano area, followed by silence!
Outside of Mexico City lies a sleeping giant. Volcán Popocatapetl lies waiting to cause destruction again. Popo slept for centuries, but awoke in 1994 and has spewed ash, rocks and […]
Mexico City- a huge city, full of fun.
The fifth largest city in the world seemed a little intimidating to us. But there were a few things there we wanted to see and do. Yet there were a […]
Cascada de la Tzaracua (the trashy waterfall) and Ocotal Parque
After many days in small villages we had accumulated some dirty laundry. So we made a plan to pass through Uruapan and drop the laundry. Then we would go to […]
Angahuan and the buried church!
Again we followed the suggestions shared by others. And they were right! We came to see the buried church and enjoy the village. And we did exactly that! Angahuan is […]
Lago Zirahuen- a few days at the lake!
Upon suggestion from other travelers and a person that lives in Michoacan, we decided that Lago Zirahuen might be a good destination. It has been a long time since we […]
Patzcuaro and Isla Janitzeo

Cuitzeo and San Juan del Lago- One mans vision!
Cuitzeo is a small village that we likely would have overlooked. San Juan del Lago is even smaller. These two cute little places could have been missed, and in fact […]
Tula-
When we finally left San Juan Teotihuacan, we didn’t go far. Just a short drive away is the archeological site of Tula in the town of Tula de Allende. It […]
