Mom´s Visit

Admist meeting Jack Black this past week, we also visited some incredible sights! We wandered through the Zapotec ruins of Monte Alban.

Visited the mineral springs of Hierve el Agua (the water boils). The water has been seeping out for ages and has left salt deposited to form what looks like a waterfall. The road up there was just as adventurous. Our little rental car climbed and climbed up the moutains, above where the eagles were soaring, passing the mules climbing cliffs and cattle being goaded by small girls and small dogs.






We also had a wild time on a 4 hour long Safari in Puebla. We could pull right up to animals such as giraffe´s, rhino´s, hippos, ostrich´s, tigers, black bears, lions, elephants, buffalo, wildabeasts, anteaters, baboons, zebras, etc. I´m talking arm lengths from the car! The animals weren´t afraid of the cars or humans. Definetly worth the 12 bucks if can´t afford to actually go down to Africa!

You guys are such cheeky monkeys.

Typo: it's "amidst", not "admist".

I wish I could come! Dangit.
