Day 11: Micheladas in Bernal

We stepped on the city bus with the expectation of arriving at another monument made from rocks in about 25 minutes. Two hours later we arrived at Bernal, not just a monument but an entire city. (I guess I need to pay more attention to all the plans we make...in Spanish?) I never did read or hear to story behind the giant rock in the city of Bernal, but it was pretty sweet. We spent a couple hours walking through the town, eating juicy mango, and beginning to climb up the ginormous rock. However, views of storm clouds nearby sent us back down the rock, through the village, and into a tiny mart for Micheladas. The storm never came, but damn those Micheladas were delicious: Beer with salt, lime, salsa, tomato juice, worchestire, and soy sauce, with chile around the rim. It was an enjoyable day and a slightly ridiculous bus ride home.
