Our time in Coatepec is coming to a close. Tomorrow, we depart for Mexico City and on Tuesday, we fly home. This morning, hubby and I went for a walk in the neighbourhood exploring a few of the many side streets in the area. Come along and I’ll show you some of the sights that are common here. 

Just around the corner, you’ll see the roadside mechanic who is always busy repairing someone’s vehicle. 

Here we are a little further down the street. Though this isn’t an everyday sight, it seems to be quite common on Saturday mornings.

Walking can be a challenge here. This is quite typical of the sidewalks in the area!

There is beauty to be seen too though. 

This is a typical street scene. 

And here’s what it often looks like when someone is doing construction on their home or place of business. 

Finally, this is the small callejón (alley) where we “live”. That’s an apartment building on the right and the rest are private homes. 

Richard and Colleen’s house is the yellow and orange one a la izquierda con muchos plantas enfrente (on the left with many plants in front).

As we fly back to the frigid north, we’re going to miss sunny Coatepec, but first we have Mexico City to explore!
