Stormy/Caleb, Hunter, and I set out for San Marcos Arteaga on Monday morning. We tried to find the combi station from Thomas’ oral directions but eventually ended up jumping in a cab (which was roughly the same price). It was another lovely ride through the mountains for about an hour.
If you’re in town a bit early for Strange Loop, join us tomorrow for a relaxed photo tour downtown.
Here’s my general plan:
Twitter will be the best way to track our progress if you wanted to join on the fly.
Packing light is not a foreign concept to us – we’ve been dabbling in backpacking for years. However, most of that travel was only for weekend trips – nothing on the scale of our honeymoon!
We went through several iterations on the final list. We were concerned both that we wouldn’t bring enough and that we were brining too much. So far we’ve been happy what we brought – very little hasn’t been used yet (sewing kit, umbrellas, whistle, pack towels, squishy bowls) and I don’t feel that I’m missing out (… well a corkscrew and a European phone would be nice).
Check out the video and our final packing list, which was based heavily on Rick Steve’s list.
