Tepotzlan, Mexico

I recently visited the precious city of Tepotzlan. It is a quaint city about two hours from Mexico City. I went with Taylor (the other "intern") and his mom who was visiting for a week. Tepotzlan is known for it's typical small-town Mexican market and for a Aztec Temple that remains at the top of a mountain. We ate in the market and then climbed the mountain to see the temple and the most amazing view ever!
The climb was straight-up and rocky and took us about an hour and fifteen minutes. Needless to say, I got sweaty (see below).
The old Aztec Temple where they did sacrifices and worshiped.
The view of the city from the Temple was breathtaking.
There were also some sort of animal from the raccoon family that lives up there.
The Market of Tepotzlan.
The chicharron (fried pig skin) was HUGE and the food was delicious!
