Xilitla- October 22-24

After we left Toluca we travelled north first to Mexico City to transfer buses. When we got to Mexico city, we had to wait 10 hours in the bus station for our next bus. We passes most of the time playing card games so it went pretty quick. We took an overnight bus to Xilitla and arrived there at around 6am. After wandering around for a bit we managed to find a small hotel that let us check in then and didn't charge us any extra which was awesome. We were all pretty tired and in need of a nap.

When we woke up we went to go see a park outside of town that was designed by a French architect. The buildings were really strangebut beautiful and reminded me of the Goudie buildings in Barcelona. There were all these little paths through the forest that lead to deferent little hidden structures. We spent the whole day wandering around and caught a free ride back to town from a friendly local.

The next day we wandered around the market and got some really cheap food and snacks then went to find a cave that was suppose have parrots that fly in at night. It took us a long time to find it, but when we did we felt a little sully because we were basically walking around on top of it. We climbed around inside for an hour or so and then headed back to the mouth to watch the birds. Right before dusk about 40 parrots started gathering outside and circling around the mouth of the cave. After a few rounds they all flew in at once right above us. It was definitely worth the hike.
