... audience participation. They were cute and fun but typically had some sexual innuendos made so they may not be necessarily appropriate for young kids. We saw about 3 shows during our stay. The first was a “Miss Flamenco” contest with guest participation. The other was “The Beat Goes On” and the third was music and dancing from around the world. The dancers were better than expected. They did lip sync to the songs but they ...

... or drought. But while the empire in the south waned, that in the north, especially in the Yucatan, flourished until the Spanish conquests of the 16th century AD. The Maya were very skilled farmers and also created a very sophisticated written language; some think it might have been the first written language native to the Americans. The Maya also developed social class system which was a well-ordered and ...

... de cowboy de style stetson beige. Ces derniers semblent être les dirigeants de l'événement puisqu'ils arrêtent la circulation et pointent l'un ou l'autre du doigt en lui donnant une consigne. Chanceux, lorsqu'on arrête la circulation complètement autour du zocalo nous sommes passés et je n'ai qu'a me trouver un stationnement non loin. Revenu au centre je demande à un de ces dirigeants, qu'est-ce qu'ils fêtent, il me donne le nom que je n'ai pas retenu. Mais ils célèbrent ...

... un coup d'oeil mais aussi voir La Frise, pièce de platre (stuc) unique très bien conservé parce qu'elle était enfouie, le gardien nous introduit derrière les murailles et nous permet de prendre quelques photos sans flash, quel privilège. Nous passerons le reste de la journée sombre sur la route pour nous rendre à Palenque au pied des montagnes. Nous commençons maintenant à comprendre pourquoi le Chiapas est si vert, il pleut abondamment.

Puerto Morelos et Tulum, 1 jan 09. Les femmes n'aiment pas beaucoup le terrain de camping où nous nous trouvons, parce qu'il n'est pas beau. On déménage, l'endroit choisi le Motel-Cabanas-Camping, près de Puerto Morelos. Ici le camping est beaucoup plus petit mais très chaleureux et très propre. De plus nous sommes directement sur la plage, cependant sur la Riviera Maya tout est cher. Le camping est $39.00 US par jour. Il nous en coute 2730.00 pesos pour 7 ...

... North and South Vietnam waged from 1959 to 1975, large numbers of American ground troops were not committed till 1967. The U.S. got involved in this, the only war it ever lost, to stop communism from spreading in south-east Asia as part of the "domino theory". Eventually over half a million U.S. soldiers were thrown into the fight. The role of the medics could not be overestimated as they often meant the ...

... excursions/1229969040/tpod.h tml We were quite impressed with expats Bob and Fleurette Lynch when they mentioned to us that they drive to Mexico from Canada and have no reservations about driving around Mexico and that they have even driven to Antigua, Guatamala on several occasions. On the average tourist's scale of risk aversion, that would rate pretty highly. Definitely one of the pleasures of our trip has been ...

... stores, the restaurants and various houses to sing the tradional song asking if there is a place to stay for the night. They continue on their way receiving candy and gifts from the places they stop until they reach a final destination where a fiesta is planned. The fiesta usually includes a pinata, candy, gifts and food for the kids. These are photos of the kindergarden Posada Parade and the Posada Fiesta at La Casa de los Niños ...

... passé 8 heures dans le lit et c'est assez, nous avons une grosse journée devant nous. À Xalapa après avoir stationné le camion avec la roulotte le long d'un grand boulevard nous prenons un taxi qui nous amène au Muséo de Antropologia de Xapala. Très impressionnant, ce musée n'a d'égal que le musée de Mexico. Nous y voyons les fameuses grosses têtes et une grande quantité d'effets d'une qualité exceptionnelle, datant de 1300 à 400 ans av. J-C. Après la ...

Already to go! I've packed and repacked. We each have two bags (max allowed for free per KLM) and none of them weighs more than 15 kilos. We weighed them! We don't have a bathroom scale & I was not about to drag them down to the Clinic and weigh them there. Then Bob remembered the really ancient hanging scale I inherited from my grandfather. Why did he have two (or three) scales? Because he was Italian, had a large plot of land, and grew everything ...
