Our trip to El Panteon

Javier woke up this morning and told me that he wanted to take me to the cemetary! My response Oh how romantic I cant wait! J/ K. I had actually told him that I wanted to go see one on our way down here so we went to visit his grandpas grave and  I saw how different they are here in Mexico. Javier kept saying why all these people should have spent their money on having a nice house and enjoying their lives while they were here instead of competing to see who has the nicer grave after they were gone. I know it is kind of a depressing or creepy thing wanting to go and visit the cemetary but they are so colorful and his mom was telling us so many stories, I really enjoyed the trip.

These were photos from Javiers grandpas gravesite.

 

Everything was so colorful there and some of the buildings just kept getting bigger and bigger.

This one I thought was really pretty it had hand painted pictures all over it.

Sorry if this creeped you out but I enjoyed my trip to the Panteon.

Can you see the Virgin Mary?

So here are two photos of the Virgin that we saw on our trip up the mountain. We had to pour water over the rock to see the image wich is very faint. We did not see it at first and Javier asked me Is it because I dont have enought faith or what? We did see the image though. You can tell that the dark spots on the bottom are the angels wings and the darker image on the top is her head, it is kind of tilted to the right.

Is anyone able to see the image?

Lucky missed us!

We were gone all morning after hiking up the mountain so when we got back and let the dogs run out front for awhile lucky got really excited and maybe thought she was going for a ride.

This one is funny, looks like she is cruisin around.

More pix from the mountain trip.

Ok so I finally got my pictures to load on my brother in laws computer.

So this is the mountain we decided to climb.

Half way up. Uughh still look like we are still so far.

Thinkin of passing out right about now!

It is kind of hard to see, but there it is. The memorial.

Very colorful. All the candels were on inside the little stand.

View from the top. Very pretty.

View from inside the cave.

Javi running up the mountain, I swear this man never runs out of energy.

Me inside cave over the memorial.

Kind of hard to see, but Me Javi, and Lupe.
