On the way to Tapalpa

[Tapalpa is a village high up in the mountains - about 2200m - and the route there is characterized by curves and bumps. All of it was a bit much for poor ADF, who was facing backward in her seat. Halfway up a mountain she got carsick (for the first time ever). We stopped to clean up a bit, which involved stripping her down to her diaper, and turning her seat around. We'd have to buy her a fresh set of clothes in Tapalpa.]
