We arrived at the temple of Teotihuac\u00e1n and found a small hotel where we could camp in the back. We started setting up the Wee Rover and that is when the trouble started. There was a local gang of ruffians who immediately surrounded the rover and us. Everything worked out ok, and it only cost us a few photos! People warned us about Mexico, I guess they were right after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The school group was fascinated with us and the Wee Rover.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We showed them the map of our route and the inside of the Wee Rover. What a wonderful group of kids!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The next morning the fireworks woke us at 5, apparently it was the patron saint day of the town. This meant the fireworks were pretty much continuous for the 2 nights we were there. Since we were up, we packed snacks and lots of water and off to the temple we went. We were one of the first to enter the temple, due to the fireworks giving us an early start. We were ahead of the tour busses from Mexico City and had the place to ourselves for a few hours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazing place! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just watch out for the gangs!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
