Tuxtepec

We still didn't have our car, so on the 7th of February we got up really early in the morning and caught a bus to Tuxtepec at 4:30 in the morning so we could go visit some people Jake knew there. The bus ride was really long (4 hours). When we got to Tuxtepec, we walked to the bishop's house and visited with them. They fed us and took us to a natural spring about an hour away. The water was coming straight from the earth, so it was clean. Imagine that, clean water in a river in Mexico. You don't see that everyday. There was also a swimming pool that had the water coming into it from the earth. It was really cold, but Jake went swimming in it anyway. I just waded in the water and got bit a lot by mosquitos. The bishop was a taxi driver, so we got a good deal from him and he drove us back to where our car was getting fixed. It was a lot faster than taking the bus back. Our car was finished getting fixed, so we got it back! It was so good to get our car back.
