Trip to Mexico 2001-2002

New year celebration in Veracruz with Alfonso (Poncho) and Monica de Léon y Peña in the Spanish waterfront hotel, The "Mocambo" on the Gulf of Mexico.

Map of our road trips in Poncho's car from Mexico City (DF) to Veracruz (red path), passing by a gorgeous waterfall in Orizaba. Once we got to Veracruz, we visited Boca del Río, a very nice town where we dined like royalty, while locals danced for us and played their typical musical instruments. On our way back to Mexico City, we stopped in Puebla and visited their downtown area, including the Governor's House and other sites. Our second trip took us to the city of Taxco (blue path) and the third (not on the map), to the Pyramids in Teotihuacan.

Street, houses and Cathedral in the city of Taxco, where silver mining and silver jewelry are very popular tourist attractions; Sun pyramid in "Teotihuacan" one-hour away from Mexico City; Scene by the road driving to Taxco.

Mexican giant flag, in the Central plaza (the "zocalo") in Mexico City, where the Aztec's heritage is kept alive with dances performed by their descendents; Beautiful Ariadna Cardenas and the Beast; Poncho and Monica imitate the volcanoes Popocatepetl (Popo) and Ixtazihuatl (Ixta); The Beauty ("Barbie") and adorable Ariadna in the Cardenas mansion.

Veracruz, rinconcito donde las olas...(famous song which describes Veracruz) - Los Portales (portals) plaza, San Juan de "Ulua" a 400-year-old stone Spanish fort from where Mexicans protected their country from British pirates and other attackers...; Typical dance performed by mother and child in a famous coffee shop "La Parroquia".

The Beauty and the Beast imitate the volcanoes (Popo and Ixta) with snow in the background according to Indian leyends; then Monica and Vanessa try it too; We wave and salute you from Mexico City in front of the Cathedral in the zocalo.
