City Express Mazatlan

... The conversations were halted when our table was surrounded by a local band who sang loudly and very badly for ages. <br><br>The next day, since our group had bonded so well over dinner, we all went our separate ways. I went to a couple of art galleries, where as usual a Mexican came up and talked me through the history of everything I was looking at. They really are a very useful bunch. Opposite the art gallery there was an exhibition called ´'Inquisition - instruments of torture ...

... orrore.<br>Per il resto del giorno ci limitiamo a camminare lungo i viali del centro, al momento di salire in camera ci accorgiamo della fatica di essere a 2200 mt, l'ostello è subdolo tu credi di dover salire al terzo piano, ma loro hanno due piani non conteggiati (dove c'è la cucina e l'altro con la sala tv) così in realtà devi arrivare al quinto. Dobbiamo organizzarci bene, perchè una volta scesi, se ti accorgi di aver dimenticato qualcosa, sono tutti cavoli tuoi risalire!!

... at six o clock mass. The contrast of it compared to all the new construction and wiring surrounding it really made you think what it must've been like way back when. Matt caught a gnarley case of food poisining and hurled like 8 times the day we were supposed to leave, so we stayed an extra day. Mazatlan is great. Oh yeah we FINALLY CAUGHT A FISH!!!!!!! Ten minutes out of Mazatlan got bit trollin, thank god, big old yellowtail tuna, mmmmm good eats.

This is the account Beth sent me of her recent work. Enjoy, and send me an email if you want to engage in this fight in any sort of way, but it's important to read anyway. Dear compañeros and compañeras, It has been awhile since I wrote last. I have been living in Chiapas, Mexico for a little over a month and a half. I have recently arrived in Oaxaca to begin work here, but need to share what happened ...

... we were staying in more. We had great taco stands to eat from and a Mercado nearby with cheap food and drinks. We had a great meal in a restaurant on the beach and watched the sunset. Because it is in the cheap end of town we paid $16 for everything, beers and food - and we were the only ones there, it was great. We walked a lot in Mazatlan, it is a bustling town and the centre is nice. But we were there mainly to ...

... feet of amazing murals by Diego Rivera. The murals are a pictorial account of the history of Mexico from the time of the Aztecs through the Spanish Inquisition. This was actually a highlight of our trip so far for both Nancy and myself. We have researched quite a bit and watched documentaries about the Aztecs and Nancy's cousin Pili has studied anthropology. She explained to us how the Aztecs traded in open-air markets very similar to the ones we had visited this morning (minus ...

Today, we discover the metro system, which is very good. It has numbers, colors and symbols (more than a forth of the population of Mexico City cannot read) and is cheap: (15 Eurocent for a ticket, no matter how far you go). A disadvantage of being in e.g. Mexico is that we (or better I) do not know their paintures, sculptures, actors, presidents, ... . If you take a tour, they keep on talking of world famous Demadlagnifronadiegoniegare. I ...

... Paz Mexico tomorrow morning. Today I hope to get bike washed and once again fix my side stand. These Mexican Topez (speed bumps) are giving us some problems. My bike will just not clear the Topez and the side stand spring is the lowest thing on the bike. Thank goodness for bungee cords.

... 10 minutes. The boat operator was nice enough to cut a hard turn right before returning to dump all the occupants in the shallow waters at shore. Nice guy, eh! We decided to go snorkelling instead. We swam hand in hand in the murky water along the shores of Deer Island. The water was a bit rough and it was next to impossible to get a clear view of the fish, but we chased a few around the rocks anyway. We heard that the snorkelling was better around the ...

... in a hotel/motel/hostal. We left with the sunset for Guadalajara, Jalisco... Here are a few pix. Hemos tomado el camión desde Obregón para llegar por la madrugada hasta Mazatlán y para economisar un poco de dinero sin pagar una noche de hotel/motel/hostal. Salimos con la noche para Gadalajara, Jalisco... Aquí son algunas imágines.
