Crowne Plaza Hotel Guadalajara

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 ...

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

... 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 ...

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...<br><br>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 ...

... everyday from 9 til 1pm, but the afternoons are free for us to do whatever we please. Directly in front of our house is a small park with courts where I've been playing a bit of football and basketball with the local kids who gather there each night. I've also joined the CEPE football team here. After barely scraping together 11 players for our opening game we were a tad unfortunate to squander a 2-0 lead and lose 3-2. Another new activity for me was going horse riding for ...

... and I know hardly any Spanish, it makes life difficult. <br> To celebrate my graduation Georgina, the old man and I went to the pub. There happened to be a world cup qualifier on between Mexico and the USA. Fantastic. Over cheap beer we watched the game. It was 1-1 until the very end when Mexico scored a last minute second goal, giving them much needed points. Naturally I was going for Mexico and joined in the cheering when they beat the yanks.<br> In the evening we ...

... As for the airlines, you get what you pay for -- Air Asia are rude, give you nothing, but they're cheap. Thai Air and Bangkok Airways were much better quality, and much more helpful. Finances -- even though daily expenses were minimal, moving from country to country is expensive. To get to and from Luang Prabang in Laos would have cost over $300 in airfare each, plus another $100 for ...

... will be delivered that day as well. Tuesday 16, at long last the vehicle is fixed and so we have driven about 20 kms to get to the nearest campsite. This morning we caught up with some chores and now we are going into town by bus to go to the information office. We used the moped to go the 1 km down the track to get to the bus stop, parked up and then waited for the bus. These cost 4.5 pesos each for any distance, about 25 pence, and we travelled ...

... and was filled with flowers. We found out later that the flowers were for the grads from the University of Guadalajara. They would get their parchments and go to the church to be blessed and receive a flower. For dinner we all met at the Sirloin Stockade - a huge buffet place where you could get practically anything to eat. They served roast beef and mashed potatoes, steak, Italian, Mexican, Chinese, stir fry, salads, desserts to die for. All ...

... life, food, entertainment, beautiful architecture and a generally happy feel. Anyone travelling to Mexico should learn some spanish before arrival unless you want to stay at the poolside and speak only to tourists, outside of resorts, there are very few english speakers and the simplest tasks can prove difficult. Its been fun so far and we are off to Los Mochis soon, if we can find the bus station.
