Getting out of Mexico was a nightmare! From all the reading and asking I did, I figured they were going to charge a $20 exit fee when we tried to leave the country. Also, from all the reading and asking I did, I knew we did not have to pay said $20.

Caye is pronounced “key” in case you were wondering. Continue reading “Mexico to Caye Caulker”
Teotihuacan

We then rode a city bus to the main terminal where we caught a tour bus out to the site. The site is huge! We hiked up the pyramid of the sun, which is the largest on the site, and is really quite impressive. Continue reading “Teotihuacan”

Alé met us at the restaurant and then took us around the city. We saw the castle where a former president lived. We also took a tour of a museum. Finally we went to our hotel.

Central America Trip
To celebrate the return of Rachel and Rebekah from their missions, we are taking a trip to Central America. We will leave on Monday March 11th, and return Tuesday March 26th. We’ll be traveling by bus and staying in inexpensive hotels/hostels. Below is a map of the places we’ll be visiting. My plan is to write about the trip each evening, but we’ll see how it goes.
