March 4, 2020 We had been travelling pretty fast for the last week so we decided to spend a few days in the RV park before heading into Mexico City.  We needed to have a bit of a rest and clean up before doing anything.  I took our clothes to a laundry service around the…

March 3, 2020 We wanted to stay another day at Las Grutas but our water tanks were dry.  We could have toughed it out since there were bathrooms and restaurants at the hotel but two waters days was enough so it was time to head towards Mexico City.  We had been warned by multiple people…

March 2, 2020 We got up early and left El Geiser to make the three hour drive to Las Grutas de Tolantongo, another hot springs place.  Arriving at the entrance gate we paid 150 pesos per person and 20 pesos for parking.  Past the entrance gate we went down a very steep and curvy road…

March 1, 2020 In the morning we left Bernal and headed to El Geiser, a hot springs waterpark just over an hour’s drive away.  On the way there we ran into a large number of Topos or speed bumps which can be up to a foot high.  In the US speed bumps are normally found…

Feb 29, 2020 We woke up at a reasonable time and rushed ahead to the waterfall right in front of the first tour groups that showed up promptly at 9.  The path to the waterfall was really pretty and ran along the side of a mountain before going along a lovely stream with several small…

Feb 28, 2020 I had planned to go to a nearby place called Adventureland.  It had rafting, zip lines over a river, and a sky bike.  However, Adventureland cost over 1,000 pesos per person, we would need to drive there and worse of all, many of their adventures had an age restriction of 8 years…

Feb 27, 2020 Jeremy and Kara had gone into Los Pozas the day before and despite having a huge solar and battery array their power was running low.  Our parking spot had no utilities and was very shady to boot so they left to find more sunny locations.  We went up the hill to visit…

Feb 26, 2020 I was woken up in the middle of the night to the sound of rain on our roof.  This was a problem since we had hung our swimsuits and towels outside to dry.  Oh well, guess they were not going to dry.  It was a good thing I had upgraded to the…

Feb 25, 2020 Media De Luna is closed on Tuesdays so we skipped it and drove three hours to the Puente de Dios or God’s Bridge which was supposed to be a really nice swimming spot.  As we got close to Puente de Dios the land turned from desert to tropical with green jungle and…

Feb 24, 2020 It was time to leave our new family and we had to do our pre-departure checklist, put everything away, clean everything, add water, and Adriana graciously let us do a load of laundry in their washer/dryer.  By the time we got everything ready to go it was past noon.  After some heartfelt…
