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 ...

... in that way. Last week, I spent a few days at the Brown's house, which is in Mitla, a much smaller town about 45 minutes east of Oaxaca.

We boarded an overnight bus to Tuxtla Gutierrez on the 20th.

... two! He was going to ride solo and to ride at night! You can read his blog to find out about why he learned his lesson and lived to tell about it! His story made us cringe as we would not have know if he was in trouble for 24 plus hours and only would have known his where abouts by tracking him and the spot device he was caring.

After this injection of culture found a nice traditional Mexican cafe and had some spicy hot Taco's (Jesus they were spiiiiceyyyy) for $2.50. One other thing I had to do in Zacatecas was ride the cable car over the city and onto the hill overlooking it. Nice ride but a bit wobbly for my liking (I was clinging onto the side for dear life).
