A Mountain Top Experience - Tepoztlan

One of the ministries we hoped to have while here in Mexico was to provide a place of refreshing for missionaries.  What a treat it was to have our friends come to visit; Ken and Diana Harer with their great kids Daniel, Maria and Cristina. After convincing them to stay a second night, we shared a mountain climbing experience together in the town of Tepoztlan, just 30 minutes from Cuernavaca. Below is a photo blog of our day.  


Walking through the narrow streets to the base of the mountain

Stopping along the way for a Quesadilla - a bit of energy with which to climb the two Kilometer trail

Only 70 minutes more of climbing!

Ya, we have to climb through there...the steepest part of the hike. 
Why build a temple on top of a mountain in 1200 AD?

Kim and Ken chatting inside the pyramid, just in front of the altar. 

Gary and Maria standing in front of the pyramid.

From the back side of the pyramid as the afternoon sun was lowering. 

Back in town, it was hard to believe we were up there. 

Zooming in as the sun was setting.
