Hello, this is Eric. I'm checking-in from the comforts of Hotel Colonial in Puebla. Today the team is resting after our major effort to get to the summit of Ixtaccihuatl yesterday. It is a very abrupt change to go from the challenge of a grueling descent straight to the luxuries of a major city. After a lazy morning, we met to explore a local market, eat gelato and soak in the stunning architecture of the city. Tonight the team will have a group dinner and then get in bed to rest before we launch early tomorrow for our next major objective, Orizaba. Here are a few shots from our climb of Ixta.
