Late Sunday morning, we headed out for a big day of exploring. Our first stop was Tlachihualtepetl, the Great Pyramid of Cholula. It is the largest pyramid known to exist today with a total volume estimated at over 4.45 million cubic metres (yes, it is larger than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, which is […]
So, we edited and uploaded two new videos this week, from our visits in Guanajuato and San Miguel de Allende respectively. The video are mostly while riding through the city for the former – but much less boring than our first one – but also include a great 360º sky view of San Miguel and […]
