It was an extreme adventure getting here. As we were leaving the US, endless amount of rain began to fall. It rained for days non-stop. And the weather tells us that it will continue for a few weeks. We were seeking a high level plain city, in hopes to avoid mass flooding-we achieved that. Xalapa is a beautiful tropical-like booming city surrounded by a sub-tropical mountainous forest. The aroma of fresh ground coffee covers the air, while the noise of its people melodiously sing to the beat of the city. The music of the marimba rhythm echoes downtown streets, as alleyways covered with jewelers adorn the cobblestone streets.
