Benidorm Mexico City

... or chicken (chicken is not counted as meat here apparently), the waitress told me there was just one thing on the four page menu that I could eat - a cheese enchilada. It was minging. It was basically a bowl of dough with some Heinz tomato soup poured over it and some cheese grilled on top. Cheese seems to be in everything, it´s like cholesterol is one of the major food groups here and no meal is complete with bucketloads of it. Later I got lost trying to find my back to the hotel so I ...

... We squeezed limes on them which is new to me and definitely something I will start doing back home. Rob is in heaven with the food here, he likes it much better than in the states. Eating here is so wonderfully cheap! At the street vendors, all three of us can eat for under $10 US. <br> We walked up and down the streets all day. The little shops are wonderful, and so tiny! Some of the shops are the size of my large bathroom at ...

... vestiti in modo macabro tipo Halloween, i bambini ci provano con "dolcetto o scherzetto", ci sono venditori di cibarie in ogni dove.<br>Ho visto una mostra interessante sulla storia dell'inquisizione, allestita all'interno del vero palazzo che fu dell'inquisizione, attuale facoltà di medicina-radiodiagnostica. Anche se in spagnolo ho compreso quasi tutta la narrazione dell'audioguida; la chiesa ce l'ha sempre avuta la mania del controllo e dell'annichilimento del pensiero ...

... the US and .04 pesos/kb Internet GPRS, it made it handy to have on hand for emergencies. I wonder if it will work in Guatemala or Belize? Hostel Home is located in the middle of Colonia Roma a few blocks from Insurgentes station and Colonia Condessa. While Roma had an artsy, bohemian feel to it and was filled with streets of semi run down townhouses and small businesses, Condessa had tree lined avenues, parks ...

... fifteen minutes. I hate the city. But it's an interesting contrast from the country side. We're gonna hang out in the city for a day or so and then continue our adventure, probably heading towards Michoacan. Someday I'll actually write something on this blog. Until then, enjoy some pics...

... regional area was well laid out written and artifacts that the whole museum would take a week taking your time to go through. we did it in 7 hours and i still feel like i missed alot!!! some info i found about the museum: The National Museum of Anthropology houses the largest collection of ancient Mexican pieces in the world. There are 23 permanent exhibit halls. Archaeology exhibits are located on the ground floor and ethnographical exhibits about present ...

So we arrived in Mexico City late on Wednesday evening and got a taxi to the hostel with a girl, Amy, I had met on the plane. We were so tired we crashed immediately. The next morning we got up and explored the city. We are staying right near to the main square, Zocalo Square, which is meant to be the larges square in the world. It is beautiful and there is a lovely cathedral and the National Palace overlooking it. Amy recommended that ...

... to the pyramids, we tried some of the local tequilas and mezcals - always a good idea before climbing the temples! We strolled around the temples with our new found Polish companion (living in Berlin), Mariusz, whose life long dream was to bike from NYC to Buenos Aires. He departed the city in September, passing through beautiful Asheville for a week, and made it to central Mexico before deciding there was more to life than white and yellow ...

... Mexican people told <br>me during Xmas there's a little less people on the street. The only thing is <br>that there're trash everywhere... even right behind the palace of the <br>president....hm...and we are staying at the hotel opposite to it. Pollo told me <br>that Mexicans are kinda not used to seeing Asian people around...There're so <br>many eyes staring at us in the metro... even though a lot of them are nice... I <br>still can't ...

... central location compensated somewhat for the for the fact that our bathroom was not cleaned once in the five nights we stayed there...despite the fact that we were sharing the dorm with nine others! On the Monday, we participated in an organised walkies bout which was included in our fare for the hostel. We saw the very fanxy post office on Madero street which was designed in the Ornate style by an artist from Florence. We also saw the Palacio de Bellas Artes (translated ...
