tinny church
tinny village that used the cute churchBack on the road again we drove north east to Veracruz through some amazing scenery, from mountain views to jungle and to dry hot beaches Mexico, really has it all. We drove on some very hilly and curvy road making a stop in Iztlan de Juarez, the town where Benito Juarez was baptized. Juarez was the first full blooded indigenous president of Mexico. 5 hours later we finally reached the tinny town of San Mateo Yetla, that has a lovely ecotourism resort and spent the night van camping on the grounds very quite and relaxing. Interesting about the resort is that its owned by the community and all the employees are from the village the money made goes to them so its worth checking out.
