... and got merry on Pacifico beers while watching the strange going ons inside and the beautiful mountains out. Getting the bikes on was only allowed after the station attendant spoke to the conductor and the conductor phoned his boss. The boss did it as a special favour but when it came time to depart at Los Mochis, they told us we had to pay 300 Pasos. A raised voice, some English which they would understand anyway, saying they should have told us before hand and ...

... twice more to make it 4-1 before it was even half time! Chivas' third goal came from a rare indirect free kick inside the penalty area, after dangerous play from an Atlas defender. I managed to capture the goal along with the ensuing celebrations on video, which partly conveys a sense of the incredible atmosphere inside the stadium.

Inevitably the second half failed to live up to the opening onslaught; it was ...

... more festoon most street corners in the central business district. Colorful graffiti pops up in unexpected places...on the walls of banks, in side alleys, and even in a few ¨designated graffiti zones¨, comprised of white squares painted on to the walls of several businesses in my neighborhood, which I´m sure were ¨designated by the artists themselves and not the local goverment ...

... crawled across my chest. I instinctively brushed it off me, but I was still half asleep and it was too dark to see what it was. All I knew was that whatever it was had been big enough to wake me from my slumber.

Yet last night I had forgotten all about this incident and drifted off to sleep as normal - only to be woken once again in the small hours of the morning by something crawling along my back. This time I was quick off the mark and reached for ...

As they were living in Guadalajara they knew what was going on so we all hopped in one of their cars and took off to a party. On the way we listened to the Clockwork Orange Soundtrack. The party was a squat party, who would have thought? In an abandoned back packers hostel some hard partiers had set up decks, lights and a bar for a one off party. The party was awesome and I would have loved to stay but the blokes I was with wanted to go pick up some ...

It was a bit of a nightmare to get here, we caught a bus in the end of the afternoon, we thought that we would arrive around 23.00 but we arrived at 2am in the Guardalajada and there was no buses to get into the town centre (the bus terminal is to far out) and the taxis too expensive. So we ended up having to wait until 6 in the morning to get the first bu ...

... up on heading North West to Guadalajara. It would have to be an 8 hour bus trip, but we weren't in any hurry! The bus trip sounded terrible in my head, but Eoin did a bit of research on t'internet and found a good company. The research definitely paid off cos the bus was great. Massive seats which folded out into a small bed, TV's, toilets, tea & coffee machine...all for the equivilant of 37 Euros.. result!!!! We couldn't get a hostel so had to settle for a ...

... the airlines are different, my baggage was not automatically transfered. I also didn't wanna go to a hotel because I didn't wanna run out of cash during my month in Mexico - I which I thought could be a possiblity! I would've loved to go out and see what LA looks like, but with a huge suitcase, I really didn't want to lug it everywhere. After 16 hours alone in the cold and f***king bored to death, not to mention exhausted, my ...

... s family is from a small town an hour and fifteen minutes away, she had never been to Guadalajara. My dad's family is from there, but I also had never been. We didn't know what to expect from the city. We though we had seen it all, and couldn't imagine how anything could top what we had already seen. I can best desribe this city as the perfect combination of all the BEST things of Mexico (ie., lots of historic attractions, large shady plazas, beautiful architechture, amazing ...
