Images from Tepoztlan, a small village outside Mexico City

















From top to bottom:

Shadows at the museum housing a collection of pre-hispanic art;

an old church (which when the locals walk past it, they turn to the open door, bow their heads and cross themselves before walking on);

a most wonderful restaurant called Botuan we found down a side-street run by super attentive and fantastic Spanish chefs (the meal featured here is Vietnamese Spring Rolls in a spicy tangy peanut sauce, not very Mexican, but it was vegan and exquisite);

the mountains in the background surrounding the town; the pyramid built on top of the mountains for the god Tepoztecatl.
