Welcome to hell
We found a good hotel after sitting in traffic for several hours. I was still very sick and feeling miserable. I watched TV for a couple hours and fell asleep. I awoke to Adam being sick in the morning. I packed the truck and we split. We wanted to ...
CUBA
I am writing this from Oaxaca, Mexico. Which is about 6 hours South of Mexico City? I just got back to Mexico from a 3 week trip to CUBA! I have been debating with myself the last few days if I was going to write about my time in Cuba. Then I came to the ...
More basketball, museums and boats...
... was time to leave for our adventure. We took a driving tour through the Mexico University, which has its largest campus right in Mexico City. They also now take claim to the Olympic Stadium, built for the 1968 Olympics. Then it was on to Xochimilco. Our ...
From Margo's niece Anya
... dance, it was pretty funny! We're soon heading down south to the state of Oaxaca, where we hope to find a lot more sun than Mexico City is receiving right now. I'll send more picts from our trip down there. It is Daniel and my first real trip outside of ...
Mexico City (Ciudad de Mexico, DF)
... ! There are so many food stands I wonder how they all do business, but I suppose there are a lot of people in Mexico City! I guess I wasn't really sure of what to expect in Mexico City. My preconceptions were not all that favourable, I guess as ...
Mexico Sunday
... Mine was a really nice room of about 10 beds, I'm the only one there. Big room all to myself. The BIG SHOCK was mexico city on a sunday morning is as quiet as Redwood national park. Very little traffic, almost fresh autumn air, in my conspiracy filled ...
Mexico City
... classification)? OK, i must admit the allure of politial unrest was the driving factor behind this move, but nonetheless, i discovered the Mexico that is real, and not just what the Americans want it to be.. Needless to say, as with all my plans, ...
Museo de Anthropologia
... we are all both sad and happy to be leaving. Sad because our experiences have been wonderful and we have had a very nice time in Mexico and happy, of course, because I think we all miss our families and our creature comforts. Tonight we are all going out ...
Mexico City
Arrived about 7 local time, absolutely shattered after being up for 17 or so hours. Almost got hustled by a dodgy taxi guy in the first 30mins in the country, good choice david, good choice! Found the "authorised" taxi rank and had our first taster ...
Mexico City Day 2
... hours on a coach! After taking some advice from a couple of american students at the hostel we headed into town. The Centre of Mexico City is pretty cool, old buildings and massively busy, seemed to have a pretty good vibe to it. Checked out the main ...
Bali and Beyond
... the good ol' U.S.A. Before we could get used to flush toilets and drinkable water we were back in the air en route to Mexico City where we caught a couple much-needed z's before catching a bus to Oaxaca the next morning. Needless to say, it's all a ...
Checking out Diego
I think I like Mexico City! Today is my last day here but I feel like I could stay for a while longer quite happily. I had a bit of a sleep in and then attacked the breakfast "buffet" in my hostel. White bread with butter and jam. ...
Messing around in Mexico City
... 't buy it. Unless of course you like eating rings of fat cunningly disguised as raw onions. (6) They take security seriously in Mexico City - even the bag check man at the Anthropology Museum had a pistol. (7) In the Anthropology Museum ...
Some names
Nationalities people have guessed I am so far: Japanese British (by a Brit) French Italian German (?) Chinese! So far no "Polynesian" so we are having some original guesses at least. Ways that Rach and I have been addressed during our time here, in ...
Trotsky and Teotihuican
... Diego and his wife Frida Kahlo moved out of the house in Coyoacon, a village back then but a neighborhood in the southern part of Mexico City now, so Trotsky could move in. It´s called the Casa Azul, and that´s where I went first when I got down ...
Mit Tiger im Tank ...
Und mal wieder: Guten Morgen! Der heutige Tag wird wohl ruhig werden - 2 Treffen sind angesagt. Gestern passierte dafür noch ein wenig. Am Nachmittag, ganz spontan, hatte ich meine Audienz beim Geschäftsführer, Heiko Roller. Der Name klingt ...
I love Mexico!!
... his prtesence noticed. I love it! The markets are somthing else, the sheer size of some of them blows your mind. In Tepito market, Mexico City you could walk all day and never meet the end of it. As for teh products on offer, you name it and you'll ...
Madness in Mexico
... !! We are now enjoying a couple of Coronas at the hostel´s roof terrace bar. Tomorrow we are going to the Pyramids north of Mexico City and tequila tasting at the factory just outside the city. I think its fair to say that we are both having a great ...
Guadelupe Shrine and Teotihuacan pyramids
We were picked up early this morning by our tour guide Miguel and we headed for the Guadelupe Shrine north of Mexico City. The shrine is the most sacred place in Mexico for the 95% of Mexicans who are Catholics. There is a 4km path leading to the shrine ...

DF in 30 hours
... for dinner upstairs on the rooftop patio at Serina's- which is really good, btw- and has an even better view of old Mexico City and the main zocalo. Streets are numbered strangely in DF, so without a map (remember those maps that were thrown ...
Mayans, Zapotecs, Teotihuacanos & Aztecs
... a rather boring breakfast at the hostel, of you guessed it, eggs and bread, we set off on the metro for the Anthropology Museum. Mexico City is huge, and although perhaps we could have walked, the 3 peso tube ride was well worth it. The museum holds many ...
Ruhe vor dem Abflug
Guten Tag! :) Der gestrige Tag in León war eigentlich genau wie vorgestern - mit einem Vorteil: Wir fuhren schon 13:30 zum Flughafen und hatten daher weniger Zeit zum Beine-in-den-Bauch-stehen. Die Taxirückfahrt war ein wenig wie ein Bild von ...
Dia de Muertos 2008
... sent bon l'encens et est illuminé de milles bougies. Les gens sont calmes mais aucunement triste. Le Zocalo (place centrale) de Mexico ainsi que la UNAM (Université Nationale Autonome de Mexico) sont décorées par des autels géants où l'on se ...
Tequila, it makes me happy
