SMA Day 7 of 32 - Thursday March 25 2010 – A step ladder with over 500 steps




While having breakfast outside – again of course – the weather is great! We watch Martin and Remedio do garden work, The place we are at is gorgeous. We decide to take a “little walk.” Note the last photo of the GPS – over 5 miles this day. Most days 5 to 7 miles. Carol even had one day when I left to try and get internet connection – added a few more. That day total for her – 11 miles.

First level up, “only” 75 very steep steps. We are at the Cultural Institute school and Santa Cruz (Holy Cross) church. The church rings bells most of the day – with a pause from 11 pm to 6 am, unless special need, about 3 night a week. Bells every 15 minutes with special rings to indicate the hour. Since we are only 500 feet away get to enjoy this treat!

As we get to the next level, find a few people “running” both up and down steps. Great cardio workout – or close nearby to celebrate your premature death due to exhaustion. Did I mention we are above 6400 feet?

Finally at the top, a spectacular view of the town below. WOW! The circus is in town so hear the truck with blaring message – I don’t understand – but know for 20 pesos, about 2 bucks, we can look at animals and many special things.

Another fine day comes to an end as we catch the full moon rising above some trees.
