My Weekend trip to Grutas de Bustamante in Mexico
August 28, 2010
Arriving at
Casa Hogar with our bikes fully loaded
Stan walking
in the gate with the first container
Donald close
behind
Smiling faces
The kids are
very happy
Stan could
communicate better than Don and I, but I think the message was well received
Stan truly
played a good Santa Claus
Eleven kids
and one of which is very small
Happy recipient
Party time
These two
nice ladies were helping out
The young
one of the bunch
Dining area
TV Room
Other side
of the TV room
Shower Area
The room for
the smaller kids (baby bear)
The bedroom
for the middle size kids (mama bear)
The bedroom
for the larger kids (papa bear). In fact, one of them is sleeping over
there.
Another shower
room
Laundry room
Stan still
sharing the gifts
The biggest
excitement was over the candy
The girls
were having fun in the kitchen. You can see the candy on the counter
Group shot
with Donald and I on our way out the door. We took soap, shampoo, toothpaste,
toothbrushes, paper, pens, drawing paper, markers, backpacks, brushes,
hair clips, some clothing, candy, etc. etc. I was very disappointed that
I didn't get to meet Claudia for a second time. Maybe the third time will
be the charm?
Parking under
a tree in Sabinas at a breakfast stop
This is a
hotel that I wanted to investigate, so we just had breakfast here in the
outdoors
On the way
to Bustamante, some roads are better than others
I finally
found something I can pass
A brief stop
to let the goats by
Donald and
Stan at a brief stop in the Canyons of Bustamante
Strike a pose
No, we were
not tent camping. However, someone was.
At the swimming
hole in Bustamante
Taking a break
at the swimming hole
At the parking
area of the caves. The caves are at that platform up there.
Our shuttle
ride to the top
On our way
up
Enjoying the
ride
Donald and
Stan overlooking the town of Bustamante down below
Another viewpoint
The entrance
to the cave
The walkway
to the interior
Inside the
cave
Our tourguide
spoke spanish............so, I took pictures.
It made for
an interesting 30 minutes
Caves are
always cool inside (nice temperature too) Is that a ghost?
Headed back
to the entrance
Another look
on the way out. The parking lot down below is where our bikes are parked
and the town of Bustamante is just above. It was a very nice and clean
town. I could definitely spend the night there.
On our way
down the mountain. We spent the night in Sabinas Hildalgo and rode home
early Sunday morning. Nice trip.
