Tired from the 11-hour overnight bus ride from Mexico City, we walked into Villahermosa through deserted Sunday AM streets, found a hotel, bought some pastries at Soriana, made coffee and had breakfast in our room, did some laundry, and then walked in unseasonably cool (but comfortable) blue skies to the Museo La Venta and saw the collection of Olmec Heads. And that's the whole story. On to Campeche.
Sun-Ling with Olmec Head in Museo La Venta. The Museo is located on a lagoon with other museums and several parks - a nice area.
John with head.
Monkey Looking at the Sky.
Sunday morning futbol.
A brass band was playing on the plaza Sunday evening.
Cool building.
Sun-Ling and John have been traveling the earth since 2008 while blogging, eating vegetarian and vegan, and riding public transportation. We love uphill day hikes, 20th-century architecture, Roman ruins, all bodies of water, local markets, shopping for groceries, aqueducts, miradors, trip planning, blablacar, and more.
