... et plusieurs dentre eux transportent des grands cadres avec la photo de Marie attache sur leur dos. Ceux la qui ont le plus a demande transporte des statues de 1 metre de haut qui ne semblent pas etre faites en papier mache. La plupart ont leur sacs de couchage avec eux autres...

Ceux la qui ne marchent pas apportent de la nourriture quils donnent aux marcheurs. Ils apportent des caisses remplies de bouteilles deau, de liqueurs, ils ...

... We were fed dinner of a croissant sandwich, salad, and a dessert and NIck got a free Tecate beer. [Drinkin' Tecate is a must.]
We arrive in Mexico City and I'm thinking I want some caffeine. So, I dig out our bag of pesos and I buy a mocha from Starbucks. Thinking that I was in a secure zone, I could bring my coffee. Alas, I could not and we had to get to our terminal. So, as hot as it ...

... I woke up at 9am and was still drunk but I had to get up because I wanted to put my camera in for repair. My camera had failed me once again in Panama, first the screen went blank and when I took the battery out to reset it I couldnīt get it back in again. So I managed to successfully negotiate the subway, and the local metro bus to get a long way across town to the WTC where Olympus was located. Even managed to ask a load of directions in Spanish and was fully ...

... and we had heard about a party near to the hostel so we were just about to head off to that when a Mexican guy who had been chatting to a few people started to kick off in the lobby area. It resulted in the police turning up and a few handbags been thrown but was eventually sorted. It wasn't an ideal situation and meant I was very close to just calling it a night and heading to bed. Fortunately everyone was still up for the ...

... over a persons body, some thing that saydee informed me was an ancient custom that was supposed to cleanse and heal... with the current virus outbreak you could see that they were in for some serious business. From there i grabbed my camera as there was too much going on to miss out on the photos and with the warm nature of the people that we had met so far i saw no reason not to. We were advised by the girl at the hostel that you could eat really well just around the corner from what ...

... in the world, housing artifacts and exhibits on all the indiginous Mexican cultures. The food was great. Our stomachs managed to agree with statement also. People were selling food and stuff everywhere and out of every crack in the wall. We bought 10 minature tacos for 10 pesos from one vendor. We shifted to a different hostel on our last night to escape the noise from the two bars that pumped music all day and night in the other one, that novelty had worn off quickly.

... it weather okay whether we wanted to or not. Finally after our wet tour we headed into Livingstone where we were told we had just two hours. The rain stopped, the sun came out followed by the next set of rain clouds. We grabbed a quick lunch and then did the shops. Then all too soon, hum, it was time to go back. We were still wet even though we had tried to stay in the sun to dry out. Somehow the rain held off until we just put our feet back on the ground in the ...

... my way to the airport and booked my seat on a - pleasingly cheap - flight to Las Vegas tomorrow morning. With that donw, I set about exploring the city, only to be stopped in my tracks by sheet rain which arrived without warning. It stopped almost as soon as it had started and I was again able to hit the streets, observing a demonstartion about the price of minibuses in the capital in the square outside my hostel - good to see that South America does not ...

... dance and break a pinata, which is such good fun, this is one of the traditions that I will be bringing back to England as I know my niece will love it! As I said people all over Mexico have pasadas and everyone gets involved, it is kind on like a street party, everyone is welcome. I went to two pesadas and did lots of dancing, well I was being taught. It is so hard, a girl who was six years old was teaching me and she could not believe that I could not dance! She was amazing ...

... the place to life though and i really enjoyed it. The city is beautiful, the people loud and friendly and there was just so much cool stuff going on. After lunch we all just chillaxed really - I headed to Paco's gym and worked a little bit too hard... In the evening Adam and I met up with Paco and his friend at the 'cheap saloon'. This is a bar/restaurant/club type thing, where Mexican's go to eat and get hammered. Good times. We ordered a big old mess of delicious food ...
