We planned to hike up and camp overnight so we left at 12:30pm and got to the top just after sunset around 7:30am, saw the sunrise and we hiked back down.

So here we go, i am finally keeping this thing up to date as i set forth and explain my upcoming adventure. I just finished an amazing couple of courses in the mountains between Valle de Bravo and Teluca Mexico 2-3 hours west of Mexico City with Outward Bound Mexico. The courses were with 2 different private highschool in Mexico City. The programs was quite interesting and challenging but the staff team was incredible. A mix of OB folks from all over Mexico, Costa Rica, Ecuador, United States and me from Canada. I am just absorbing what i learned from it before i write about it. But yeah finally updated my blog fully and will continue to be updating! Enjoy!
