Hacienda del Bosque Zacatecas

Pretty sure that one speed bump I hit in the dark that made the truck and trailer fly shook stuff down too. .
I thought for sure I'd killed the girls
we hit so hard. Narrow mountain road close to Papantla and we couldn't
even stop and check them for almost 10 miles. The trailer literally
Papantla, Veracruz-Llave, Mexico chrissybz

... they think there used to be 365 of them, though many buildings here are not fully restored. It was a real ****** that many were closed off completely & none was available to climb up to get a good view of the site - not impressed. Also many of the best carvings & relics in the museum which was closed, apparently for maintenance, even though they'd had the last 2 weeks to do it as the museum had been closed - gotta love Mexico!

... the humane killer didn´t work & the bull was still alive when removed or when the crowd stand up, boo & wave hankies to show they're not impressed with the matador & he shouldn´t take the bull's tail or ears as a trophy! After that, thought I would just drop by & see who the English guy in concert tonight was - never heard of Roger Hodgson - turns out he was the lead singer of Supertramp! The good thing about these free concerts is, you can just rock up and take a chance and ...

Decidemment cette ville n a AUCUN charme! Apres 6h dans un bus inconfortable et des millions de dos d anes, nous sommes atterit dans une ville tristounette ou nous attend notre premiere pluie depuis notre arrivee au Mexique. Nous esperons que la visite de la pyramide d El Tajin en vaut le coup (etape choisie par Max...). Finalement nous sommes alles camper sur le site d'El Tajin pour assister a un festival tres sympathique et un son et ...

... Perhaps we are just out of season. Most looked like they had no maintenance done for a decade. On our return to our camp the Senor, Antonio, was pottering around with his wife and daughter. We spent about an hour in conversation while the kids were swimming in the natural hot pool (not too hot only about 25deg celsius). We pulled out a bottle of vino and had a few drinks and then they came and checked out the trailer and had a cup of coffee. Lindsay ...

... whisked back "Star Trek" style to a bygone era. It was a tiny but memorable jewel of my Mexican visit. I came out of the museum and found Lobo waiting for me. He had been reading the real estate pages of Zacatecas with hopes of finding a reasonably priced apartment or condo for rent or purchase to be included in the blog. It was with great reluctance that I left this majestic structure and made a silent promise to return some day. I ...

... the 23 destinations we visited in Mexico, this city was one of our favourite places." The challenge in this blog will be get that idea across in word and photo . One of the mysteries of Zacatecas was that right down to the name it was totally unknown to us. This made finding such a jewel of a city in the Central Highlands all the more remarkable. Speaking about the name of the city, it comes from "Zacatecas" - the Náhuatl name for the indigenous ...

Destination 270: km144'400 Ich breche auf und sogleich wieder im Regenschutz. Zum Glueck ohne viel Regen geht es auf relativ langweiliger Route bis nach Rodeo und mache endlich mal ein paar Kilometer Distanz. Nach einem Zwischenstop in dem niedlichen Dorf in einem Familien- Betieb- Hotel fahre ich bis Durango, wo ich ein kleines Elektronikproblem vor einer kleinen Motorradwerkstatt beheben musste, ohne auf die Hilfe der gelangweilten Mechaniker zurueckgreifen zu muessen. Ich ...

... as it was free mexican day (all the mexican ntl parks were free entrance). At the entrance there was a traditional dance performed by the Mayans at el Tajin, performed, where Valadores climb a 87 meter pole and `fly`to the ground to the beat of a drummer/flute player that stays at the top. That night Pablo and I stayed at a nice little beach town on the gulf and did a bit of swimming in the ocean. Oh ...

... Teach package we had 2 cooking lessons included. These were at Adriana's house and we provided some wine. The cooking lessons were interesting especially when Adriana got as drunk as us and left us ...
