The first two weeks of our trip were during Semana Santa, the Easter Holy Week. Mexico is insane with tourists everywhere and crazy prices for everything. We took a train that was so packed that some passengers had to stand or sit on a floor for five hours and we paid $60 a night to sleep outdoors and share a communal bathroom... thankfully, everything has calmed down now that Semana Santa has ended. Prices are normal ($10 for a shared bathroom) and we have always been assured a seat on a bus.
Visiting a Cathedral that has a huge Semana Santa procession, we meandered back behind the chruch where they were finishing cleaning up from the celebrations. The pile of crosses reminded me of a CostCo for religious artifacts.

Missing you terribly! So glad you're posting so much tho. Love getting the trip updates and photos. Hopefully I'll figure out if and when I can come visit soon!
Wow- I can read what other people are saying about how much they miss you! I don't miss you- nor am I jealous of your year-long adventure with the love of your life. I love to work!
