After yesterday’s beginning of Guadalupe festivities in Teotitlán del Valle, a day and evening filled with hundreds of wonderful people, music, dancing, parading and the accompanying ear-splitting rockets (more about the festivities to come), a solitary morning walk was in order. Bundled up against bordering-on-freezing temperatures, I set off for the village presa (dam).
There is always something in bloom, no matter the time of year.
The reservoir is full and flowing over the dam.
Ahhh… My favorite way to start the day in Teotitlán.

We love to spend time at the dam. It is so peaceful there. The 360* view,the sweet smells,the sounds of birds chirping… We usually stop there on our way back from visiting the Tule Tree. We never tire of being in the presence of that giant ancient tree!
You and Chris are so lucky to be included in so many festivities in Teotitlan. It is definitely an honor.
It was a lovely, exhausting, freezing, but heartwarming, three days.
