Travelling in Mexico with Ush! Part 3

So, as is clear in our many photos, Ush and I had a wonderful adventure travelling Mexico for three weeks. From mountains on horseback, beaches, cobblestone strrets and markets, we loved every bit! The food was always an experience, as you can see we took a photo of every meal!! But that's alot of what travelling comes down to! The basics! I'm in Mexico city now waiting for Giovanni to arrive, I can't wait to get out of the city. Apart from Frida Kahlo's house, there is nothing much else that I have liked here in this enormous city.It's very heavily polluted, grotty and full of traffic. I spent all day today catching the metro and pushing myself through crowded marketed streets to finally find the bus station where I could buy our tickets tomorrow out of here!

Enjoy! 

Mazunte beach, on the south coast of Mexico, near Puerto Escondido....

Ah!! Holidays!

Wow! We went on a boat tour to see the giant turtles!! There were hundreds of them floating out at sea.....These two were mating (which takes up to eight hours!!!)
We then swam with one and touched it's shell and hard skin before the tour guide let it go and it floated down to the bottom....We were also so lucky because we saw Killerwhales!! The black and white Orcas...only about ten metres away! Wow!!

Dresses up for a night out on the town! Not really, but was fun anyway!!

My darling Ushy looking stunning!!

Huarechas! Yum!

An old-fashioned ice-cream man with his trolley!

Beautiful handmade dolls and animals...

San Cristobal de las Casas...we loved this town and spent about four days here exploring the cobblestone streets, watching street artists adn being lucky enbough to see free music concerts because of a week long festival that we were there for...

The phenomenal black hairy skirts of the Indigenous  women in Chiapas, with their long plaits! After chatting to a few women in the markets we found out that the skirts are worn every day, they each have about five of them and they leave the hairiest ones for the special occasions!

Some cute old men chatting on a Friday afternoon....

Our beautiful new shawls!!

The colours in the market place are amazing and we wanted to buy everything!!

The beginning stge of the embroidery... a huge amount of work for each piece....

Back at the beach, we came across a patch of small white flowers which turned out to be the perfect location for a cutsie photo shoot!!!

A spontaneous salsa in the reception of our hostel when some loud Shakira music came on! First time dancing yet! Hopefully many more to come!

When we walked into some kids game of soccer on the street, we ended up joining in
 and getting the heart pumping and lots of laughs!!

We couldn't get enough of these amazing cobinations of coloured houses!!!

A flower a day keep the doctor away!!
