On the Sunday we made an excursion to the surrealist castle of the poet Edward James and the village Xilitla. The castle was impressive with a lot of sculptures, stares and bridges in weird shapes and angles, everything made in concrete. And it was in the middle of a tropical forest by a waterfall.
 |
| The bus stopped on the road and we tried Zacahuil which is a Tamale with the size of approx. 1 m. |
 |

 |
| Impressive architecture at the castle. This waterfall was surrounding the buildings. |
 |
| In the garden there were lots of wild plants and flowers of all kind. |
 |
| And also animals |
 |
| These spiders were everywhere and they were huge! |
The village Xilitla was also very nice and charming with old colorful houses in between the
green mountains.
 |
| The town of Xilitla |
 |
| A traditional sunday market that you find everywhere in Mexico |
 |
| On the market you could buy real frogs converted into wallets...(!?) |
 |
| The church and plaza is decorated with the mexican colors of the flag to celebrate independence day |
  |
| They are watching a pole covered with grease, the person who can climb up the pole wins the prices that were attached up there :P.. |
 |
| Ama y Pepe |
 |
| Local people from the village dancing to live music |
 |
| Almost everyone wore hats like this |
 |
| In the old times this was an area for barbers |
