Gritters


Mexico is one of the countries with the greatest biodiversity on earth. This becomes quite obvious especially during the nights... Huge amounts of flying things, cockroaches, flying bugs, mosquitos, other flying stuff, rhinozerus bugs, spiders and ugly toads gather around the light and eat one another... it's really fun! Buen provecho...
One of the tings I didn't know is that Tarantulas are totally harmless and cute!! The other night we saw one crossing the street on our way down to the village. It is a weird feeling to have that huge hairy and leggy thing crawling up your arms and face... However, it would never bite you as long as you don't mess around with it!
We also saw a coral snake, this time a real one!! Black, red, yellow, I had to think of the German flag :) Schlaaaand!!

Plutonia


Plutonia is a sweet Bouldering cave only 20 minutes walk from my house... You could actually go down and explore it. It is at least 50 meters deep and supposedly there is a huge cave deep inside the mountain, but without headlamp and rope that's not a good idea ;)



Look at the new hairstyle! So far only two...
