A DAY AT THE PARK

Parque National Barranca del Cupatitzio makes our parks at home look like forgotten wastelands. Myth has it that this is the spot where the devil lost in a battle with God. Hence a natural spring bubbles up from the underground, creating a jungle oasis in the middle of a mountainous desert.  We stroll along cobblestone pathways unveiling waterfalls at every bend and watch monarch butterflies engaging in their mating dance. We climb high arching bridges over trembling waterways and catch trout to cook for lunch. We feel like we’re in a dream every time we come here.

Rowan and his buddy Marlen like to have sword fights. Travis marvels at the trees of course, like the Banana Palms with leaves the size of a vans. Oh and don't let me forget the restaurant which serves the most delicious, mouth watering, CREAMY macadamia nut soup made from nuts that were grown nearby. It's a small bowl of Heaven. My hats off to you God, for winning the battle.
