La Malinche

Day 2 in Tenancingo! Hike up to La Malinche!!
This hill is very close to betts and Carlos's house, and near the top there is an ancient carving of a women. A carving like this of a women deity is a strange concept here, because most deities are men. Therefore, she is thought of as a traitor, as was "La Malinche." So that is what she is called.

Here is us parking. Our kids are pretty thrilled riding in the back of the truck!

Hiking up.






And here she is!!!
If you notice, someone recently gave her a mustache.


It's amazing to be in a city like this where there is so much history everywhere. Ruins, paintings, carvings, history wherever you look.

Holy cow that is beautiful. And, I might be mistaken but isn't Teagan wearing a sweater in one of the pictures?!?! It is one hundred and fucking hot degrees here. And no rain, yet.
