New City, New Family, Same Dirty Backpack
Well, let´s just say, a 22 hour bus ride seemed much more exciting during the first few hours than the last few. We saw beautiful sierras as we left Oaxaca, and many maguey fields where Oaxacans produce mezcal, but as night fell, the twisting mountain roads became a bit more unsettling. We woke from our intermittent slumber with stiff necks and tingling, numb legs...but alas, we arrived in Mérida, the "cultural capital of the Yucatán" on Thursday afternoon. We spent ...

There are 17 exhibition rooms display work by contemporary artists, mostly from ...
A poor excuse for a man
... the left and right lasted for a few days (and made for some serious shifty eyes to compensate), and even now, more than a week later, I can still feel the odd strain. Very bizarre, although my main reason for sharing this with you is not for sympathy, but as an excuse for why I haven't more to report from my last few days in the capital. The most eventful day was a trip with Suha to San Angel, a quaint part of town just south of the centre. With cobbled streets dotted with ...
