| I met Rubén Cortés a couple of weeks ago | | | | challenging terrain that introduced me to the fauna |
| during my stay in Cuernavaca when he filled me in on | | | | and flora around Cuernavaca. The most interesting |
| a variety cultural and adventure sports tours that his | | | | thing about this walk was seeing the variety of |
| company provides in the Mexican state of Morelos. In | | | | rubber pipes that local families use to tap into the |
| addition, he took me on a 2 hour hike through the | | | | river to deliver water to their homes since they live |
| "Barranca de Santa Maria", one of the many ravines | | | | in areas without municipal water supply. We also met |
| in the city of Cuernavaca, where we walked beside a | | | | a local family who was doing their washing in the |
| tiny river through a forested area to a local trout | | | | river, again a very interesting vignette of local life in |
| farm. It was a fascinating hike through somewhat | | | | Mexico. |
