Today we went on an epic hike. We probably hiked 4-5 miles up a mountain. At the top of this mountain was yet another crucifix. The kids had a great attitude the entire time and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
The first part of the hike was a dirt road that we weren’t comfortable driving on. The road eventually ended in a makeshift parking lot that had a shrine. Caves were everywhere on this hike, I wanted to badly to go into them but the kids would have followed and there would be wild animals in them.
After the parking lot, it turned into a true trial. We hiked a mile further and got to what we thought was a dead end. I was happy to go back after this, but then we saw some people who lived in town hiking where there was no hiking trail right above us. They encouraged us to follow them up a very steep rock trail.
When we got to the top of this trail, they unloaded their equipment and started climbing a sheer wall. We again were very happy to be where we were, but our oldest son encouraged us to keep going in order to make it to the top of the mountain.
So we continued begrudgingly. We made it to the top of the mountain where we had lunch. It was very windy on top and as we were about to leave, it started raining.
It rained pretty hard on us until we made it down to the actual trail again. We then walked back to the car and drove home. Bonnie went to the grocery store while I let the kids watch a movie. When she got home, we went out to dinner.
The place we went to was a taqueria. The food was great and when we got home, we let the kids have ice cream before we showered them and put them to bed. It was a really nice day. **
