The main Texote falls was 2 big drops through a narrow gorge with rickety bridge over - always nervous when see the sign "cross at own risk"! - the bridge lead further up river to some smaller falls good for bathing (in summer or for masochists) - there was another leading up the high near vertical cliff to a viewpoint at the top of ...

... m going to keep surfing and possibly host some day. I was hosted by a girl and her family and they accepted me like family. They only let people stay for a day so she said I could stay at her friends house the next day. Her friends house was nice and it had a pool. They ended up taking me out on the town and we had a good time.

... came across a party in a corn field, so Jim said "Anyone want to say hi?" and we stopped and went over. Of course, we got invited in to listen to the music (we went over to listen to them play and sing with guitars) and then they gave us tequila and roasted sweetcorn with mayonaise, chilli and lime.

Pablo and I have been meeting lots of people, we went to a house party last weekend i think and man house parties here are wild, we were told that people might go to the bars for a little but mostly house parties are were jovenes hang out. So that was loads of fun, also went and saw some ...

... get on the computer. So I wanted to do a seperate entry for the bike trip we took to Xico yesterday but I have already uploaded the phots to this entry, anyway still learning this blog thing. Pablo and I got up early yesterday (sunday), went over to Byron and Leti´s house (Byrons wife) for breakfast and then met up with a group of cyclists in front of Park de Juarez.
