We will post trip information here as soon as it starts. For 2010, we will continue planning the project and look for Sponsors that are willing to invest and support the Project. All indications in that regard is ...

... visit Basophiles, A small riverside town deep down in Batopilas canyon. To get there we would cycle 140ks. The first 80 on tarmac and the rest on gravel roads. Setting out we dropped down from 2400. To 1800m then rose then dropped then rose, through three large canyons, the biggest being Copper Canyon. The Barranca Del Corbre (copper canyon network) was only named after the railway mixed up on what canyon they laid the line along. That actual main canyon was ...

... went mad as the Chivas fans revelled in getting one up on their adversaries so early on. Then, barely a minute later Chivas had scored again with their second attack of the game. It was the fastest two goals I had seen since... well, since Arsenal scored twice in 11 seconds against us last week.

This quick pace was maintained throughout the entire first half; Atlas pulled one back after about 10 minutes, before ...

Just got back from a fantastic (and sleepless) weekend in Guanajuato, a beautiful colonial city perched on a steep ravine about four hours by bus from Guadalajara. We visited the Cervantino Festival (named after Cervantes, the author of Don Quixote), saw tons of concerts, met many new people, ate some delicious food, and saw at least one sunrise from the top of the city. More about ...

I write this at 3.30am, having just had my sleep interrupted once again. Not by gunshots, sirens, nor even the incessant train horn that deafens us on a daily basis. No, this was something much worse. Normally I can deal with pretty much any insect aside from spiders, but the last few nights have given me some new creatures to worry about...

It began three nights ago, just as I was about to go to bed. I reached for my washbag, only to sense a sudden movement ...

... essential life lessons" category. Now I can't say for sure, but in my opinion I would say that Steph did not. No permanent harm done, though, at least not physically, and eventually Mike retaliated by eating many, many handfuls of sand which, we are told, made changing him even less enjoyable than usual. Needless to say, his revenge was not served cold. Finally put a new set of photos on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dinoj2

... for some big city night life in Rincon de Guayabitos, wandering from bar to bar along its so-called "street". When it's finally time to call it a night you'll all squeeze into a tiny cab, talking and laughing obnoxiously all the way back to La Penita. There you will cap off the night with your choice of either passing out on the bed in all your clothes or struggling halfway through one last beer ...

... of our empty plastic cups from our fresh fruit snack. There were many food vendors on the beach so there would be a fair amount of garbage generated not to mention the food that people brought from home. There were sections of this beach that were just strewn with garbage. Yes, infrastructure and cleanliness leave a lot to be desired in Rincón de Guayabitos. The main street has apparently been under construction for the last ...
