TEZIUTLAN Weekend getaway for Stake Conference

This weekend we definitely found the most beautiful part of Mexico. We left Veracruz at 6:30 am to be at a conference at 10:00. We didn't arrive at the Stake Center until 10:45. The Lord was on our side as the conference didn't start until 11:00, so we were right on time. Presidente Hilton got to speak, but Lindy was spared. After the conference we headed further north on a very windy road, which turned into a dirt road, only slightly better than an ATV trail to find the ruins of Cuajilote. The following is what we found and the roads we traveled over.

This was Sunday
Suppose all these people were going to Church?



We traveled thru' several towns,
the name of this one is TLATLAUQUITEPEC
(notice there are No cars)



It's because this is their mode of transportation



This river was crystal clear and the water was aqua blue



We ended up for the last 15 miles on this slightly
better than an ATV trail




It was remarkable what we found

 

The Ruins of  Cuajilote

 

One of several ruins along the rivers of Veracruz,
 Cuajilote was discovered in 1992.
 It's believed that the site was inhabited by Nawa Indians,
who considered it an important site for fertility worship.
No one yet knows for sure how old these ruins are,
although they do predate Mexico's great Mayan civilisations.



A Fascinating Experience



What a remarkable experience,

standing on ground where the Lamanites once roamed.



A Great Day's Adventure 



As always Mayrene found us a lovely little villa to stay in for the night

The room itself was pretty standard, but for $35.00 what else can one expect!

Day # 2 was spent in Cuetzalan, check my next post for full details of this 10th Century European City in the northern mountains of Mexico
