Today was a long drive thru mountains to get to Puebla which is very near Mexico City. We left at 7 AM and it was a chilly morning and really did not warm up much at all today -- no warmer than 65.
The drive was along really good roads (for Mexico) but they were all toll roads. The mountains were really pretty - a cross between the Rockies and the Ozark Mountains. Not as high nor as rugged as the Rockies, although in some areas they had some pretty steep canyons,and not as tree covered as the Ozark's. There were lots of cactus in some parts, a great showing of Joshua trees and lovely valleys. We had some mountain goats cross the road right in front of us with both of us yelling "NO! NO!" and hitting the brakes. We also saw a two-wheel cart being drawn by two donkeys and led by a baby donkey that was soooo cute!
We had an ice cream social upon our arrival in the campground and we all ate way too much! John and I along with another couple immediately took a 3 1/2 mile walk. We had to get rid of all that sugar!
