Yohualichan

Yohualichan was the tiny little town outside of Cuetzalan that we stayed at. Many of the people there are native Nahuas and speak Nahua instead of Spanish. It was so cool to see the mixture of cultural clothing on the older ladies and modern clothing on the younger people.

I love their traditional clothes. They look so gorgeous on the sweet old ladies. I have no idea how they keep their clothes so white. But they also have amazing stitching on the blouses. The men all wore tire sandals. These people are all so nice and seem like a very hardworking society. It was cool to live amongst them for a few days.

This was our hostel we stayed at. It was run by a group of indigenous Nahua women. They had a store with all of their crafts they made. It was a nice place to stay.

Yohualichan also has some ruins. They aren't huge and you can't hike up them or anything, but they were pretty cool. Just a bunch more rocks piled up in the shape of pyramids...

There was also a little church in Yohualichan. We were invited to a baptism there, but we went on the high adventure tour instead.

This was the last sunrise I saw in Yohualichan. I took it as we were waiting for the truck to take us to the bus station. Yohualichan and Cuetzalan are both such beautiful towns with friendly people. I didn't want to go back to Pachuca and have to teach!
