Real de Catorce

It´s after midnight here and we´ve spent 12 hours on busses today. We are exhausted but wanted to post a few photos from our recent stay in Real de Catorce.

Once a silver mining town of over 40,000 people it is now a burgeoning tourist destination. The town is only accessible by a two hour drive up a long cobble stone road. Oh, and at the end of the road is tunnel of several kilometers that is wide enough for only one way traffic. The town has an elevation of just over 9000 feet above sea level, so even at this time of year the temperatures are warm during the day and cool at night.

In short, we had a great time.
