Day trip to Cordava

The Noriega's (a wonderful couple who work in the temple)
invited us to thier Cuidad for dinner.  They told us about a zip line there
and of course we found it

Zip line went over this valley

Two of Noriega's grandchildren came with us



Dave, who is afraid of heights, was a hoot
He didn't want to go, but we made him



Mayrene is extremely adventuresome
Ready to do anything, anytime

Feel that adrenalin rush



It was quite a hike out of the valley floor

Noriega's had a great dinner ready for us.
This is fresh tomatoe juice in a chilled glass
with the rim coated in course salt. with
a celery stir stick



This is where we learned to play the spoons.
Noriega's daughter and grandchildren were
our maestras





Day Trip to Tuxtla, Mexico



Now if you want cheap pineapples
you want to buy them right out of the fields

It was our day off, Monday, March 8th so we took off on an adventure
We were looking for a waterfall, which was to be about 2 hours south
of Veracruz.  This was not it

You don't have to travel far to be out of the city.
Where is the picture taker?



Oh! there he is

This cuidad was beautiful.  It's name
Tuxtla

We bought more pineapples right in town for the same
price as out of the field, but they were much larger

We found it!

Had a nice dinner on the way home
We're overlooking a lake, which has an
Island in it called Monkey Island.
The monkeys there dive into the lake
No other monkeys do that.
Will check it out on another trip

The dinner was complete with music. 
Might mention Lindy had Camerones, as always
