From the shelf, book lying on top of the others...
>>In nearby Tepotzlan, birthplace of the Aztec serpent-god Quetzalcoatl, proto-hippies selling crystals and tie-dyed T-shirts in the plaza seemed to have commandeered the erstwhile midcentury artists' bohemia. In Valle de Bravo, a popular pine-forested retreat to the north, noise from the boats on the artifical lake, cheesy tourist kiosks along the old cobbled streets, and traffic jams on the road out infected the beauty of the setting.>>
