The first rule of driving in Mexico is to NEVER drive at night. Yet here we were: nearly 2 AM as I blasted down the dark and lonely road – the windows down as the smell of salty, warm air wafts into the cab. No other cars in sight. My eyes burned and cried out for sleep. Driving at this …
Just a few miles west of the popular beach town of Mazunte and the Mexico hippie beach town of Zipolite, lies a sleepy and tiny coastal fishing village called La Ventanilla, Mexico.

We managed to break ourselves away from the adorable puppies at Teotihuacan Trailer Park (but it was difficult!) after extending our stay from just one or two nights into five… Pointing the truck south we headed toward Cholula, a small pueblo on the outskirts of Puebla— a bustling city itself— and which both sit in the shadow of the volcano …
