Le jour de notre visite avait lieu la finale retour du championnat de football mexicain entre Toluca et Cruz Azul (Mexico). Après avoir gagné la match aller 2-0 à Mexico, Toluca perdit ce jour la sur le même score à domicile, mais fut cependant sacré champion du Mexique aux penalties.

... once a week. Our guide for the day was Jesus "Chuey" and he was a real cut up. We also met a young couple, recently married, who wanted to tag along with us. "Can we go with you" they sheepishly asked. We welcome everyone in our group and all of a sudden we had two new friends. It was fun talking to them, learning about a new business venture in pressure washing, about some of their dreams and ...

Subject: Dispatches #3: Lucha Libre and Contest #1 Lucha Libre... Think WWF, only with a meaningful historical and cultural relevance. We´ve been to two fight nights, both in the Arena Puebla. The Arena sounds grandiose, but the construction is crude, adding to the ambience and mysticism of the lucha. There are three tiers of seats, the first starting mere feet away from the ring ...

... the commonwealth (we're all the english group members plus Dina whos an auzzie) thanks to a comment american dad said (apparently english people and auzzies are the same thing because we both pronounce aunt as 'aunt' not 'ant' - go figure!) more bonding thru intolerance of our fellow group members ensued over dinner, along with some fairly dirty jokes (not all from me!) and a lot of load irritating (for others) laughter. For lunch jo and i shared a ...

The idea of Mexico City scared the wits out of us a little from reading too many stories from other blogs and other travelers. Stories of muggings, taxi driver abductions, pollution, pickpockets, and angry people wielding big knives had us shaking in the airplane at the prospect of arriving. We arrived late and knackered after a long journey to get here.. 3 flights from Quito and we were finally in Mexico City Airport. We got an ...

... in the town only to discover a grotty dorm room with a curtain across the toilet. It's bad enough trying to use the communal toilets discreetly anyway let alone with only a curtain to mask the noise and odour! I had only just checked in but already decided that I would be checking out early the next moring. I later discover the place had just been fumigated because of bedbugs but they claimed this was a good thing because at least the problem had been dealt with and ...

[b]Come take a walk with me, best I round all this out. Characters welcome.[/b][/color][color=#FF0000] I was thinking that this blog would round out some of my travel talks. So please, come, Paul come take a walk down the Andador in San Cristóbal and let me introduce some people that I've yet to fully mention. We'll start in the parque, or the zocalo as some like to call it. In the center of the parque is a gazebo. In the evenings a marimba band plays tunes from atop of ...

... land from a lake, and the most stable buildings are those built on ancient remains which provide solid foundations. The pyramids were fabulous, they pre-date the Aztecs by hundreds of years. There are two huge pyramids separated by a pathway lined by smaller temples, the Aztecs named the pathway {The path of the dead´ but no one knows what anything was called in Teotihuacan times.

... not understand...I stared at the paper, hard, I guess hoping it would all suddenly make sense. She repeated herself, louder, a little more angry, and I finally figured out she wanted me to sign the paper. I explained to her that I did not have a pen. She looked at me. I pantomimed signing, she gave a big sigh, and slamed a pen down in front of her. I completely do not blame her. How frustrating, to be dealing with a foreigner ...

... 31st April with 2 send-offs. The first was Barbara and Marg who both came round to wave us on our way, and our second was as we drove past the Butts who came out to photograph us....thank-you guys! The weather was typically "April" the whole way down to LA as we had sun...rain...wind...sun...rain...wind. We had 2 stops on the way down sampling the delights of Motel 6 and the Best Western (Barbara - we opened the champagne here and collapsed into fits of ...
