Last Sunday a bunch of us decided to hike the Bufa and attend the Festival of the Caves. It is a festival that happens every year and a ton of people hike up the Bufa, a huge and beautiful
mountain that the people of Gto. have been hiking for centuries. It was a sight to see, old people, families, men and women holding tiny babies, everyone was climbing the mountain together. Nicole and I showed up in our hiking shoes and workout outfits, but we were the only ones. We even saw women in heels and wedges making there way up the mountain. Everyone was so happy, the weather was great and the vibe was positive. I had a great time celebrating one month in Mexico with two great friends, Marco and Nicole. There was so much to do on the mountain, I don't even know how they got it all up there. There was a whole carnival for the kids, tons of beer for the adults, and food everywhere. The beer was only about 90 cents, but with the high elevation I could not drink one or I may not have been able to make it to the top. You can see the line of people holding onto the rope on their down in the picture. It is an awesome climb.
We were really lucky to have such good weather, because for years it has rained for this festival. On our way down the mountain we ran into some friends that were set
up on the side of the road partying above thier office. They said hey stop in for a beer and so we did. Then within 5 minutes we saw black clouds appear over the mountains. Then it started to rain. We were so lucky that we saw our friends we helped them clean up and took cover in thier cozy office below. Then suddenly it started to rain tiny little ice chuncks and the winds started to whip. We would have been in that storm...Wow. Finally, the storm died down and we walked home, I love living in the city!
