Today I had lunch at the Tio Yeyo Restaurant in Coátepec with Laura González and her husband Robert, daughter Aralisa, and son Ian. Aralisa, a biologist who lives here in Xalapa, picked me up and drove us to the restaurant, located on the outskirts of Coátepec near a river that feeds the trout ponds that supply the trout served at the restaurant.

As you can see from this photo, the Tio Yeyo rises modestly among trees, flowers, flowering trees, grass, and wild flowers, and a stream that requires a foot bridge to reach the restaurant.
