We like to take little road trips, often on roads that are on no map. One such trip is recorded below in photos. The first few scenes are near our house, in Col. Úrsulo Galvan, mpio Xico, in the state of Veracruz, Mexico. It was Palm Sunday time and there were local parades -- the priest, who had to come from San Marcos, was delayed (several hours!), so we didn't stay for the parade. Instead, we went for a drive, heading first to Xico, and then on the dirt/rock road toward Cocoxatla (which is more of a sign on the road than a town). We continued on backroads through much beautiful country and several small towns, whose names are now forgotten, and which you will find on no map. Eventually we made a kind of loop ending up at Teocello, a bigger place not far from our home. I hope you enjoy these pictures.
