Being the small town, wide open space type, I was feeling the need to explore what Mexico has to offer outside this largest city in the world. My coordinator, Edith offered us a night at her family's ocean home. On the way out of town you have to climb into the mountains because for those of you who aren't familiar with this area, it is approx. 7250 ft. starting here in the city. So we climbed and climbed and truly enjoyed seeing the wide open spaces of the mountains outside of town. We made a stop to eat in "Tres Marias" outside of Cuernavaca. These small places offer a variety of home style cooking and barbacoa, which is lamb cooked in an underground oven.
The down point was paying all the "cuota" or toll fees on the interstate...they add up to approx. $45.00 before you arrive into Acapulco...and then there's the return! We enjoyed the sunset from the beautiful house on the beach and just relaxing. My companions were, Edith, and colleagues/friends Brenda and Bill. We recharged and returned, with one more downside, traffic making its way back into Mexico City....apparently lots of folks exit the city for the week-end. Fortunately, the memory of a great and relaxing week-end outweighed this problem. Back to work on Monday and our second set of tests starting on Thursday.
