Cuetzalan was a very traditional indigenous city. It was the first time I have heard the aztec language Nahuatl used regularly. I love indigenous languages. I really want to see if it's possible for me to take a class on Nahuatl next semester. I would love to learn some. We had a fun experience. Stephanie, Nick and I went. We stayed in a $10 hostel and it was an interesting experience. As soon as we got there the water went out. There was apparently some type of plumbing problem. All night we didn't have water so we couldn't flush the toilet.... then the next day we couldn't take showers. It was raining all weekend so I was wet and my hair got all greasy! It was horrible, but over all a hilarious experience. The ruins in Cuetzalan were amazing. They were really different from any of the ones I have seen in Mexico as of yet. The views were beautiful. We took a long ride in a van to the top of the hill and you could see for miles. On the way back, after the fog went away we saw some amazing scenery from the car ride. It was just beautiful. It was one of my favorite places that I have visited. It was just really quaint and you could tell the only thing that kept the town alive was hard work and it's hard working people. Artisans, farmers and etc.
The guy driving the van stopped so we could take in this view. It was beautiful.
The church in the middle of town, very small and traditional. Beautiful.
The market on Sunday, something I hope to take advantage more here. Fresh fruit and helping the local economy.
She made Nick's shoes, interesting concept.
