... card, but the second part vehicle temporary import, down the road 15km was not quite as smooth. I don't think they get that many UK registration and driving licences and the guy in the photo copy booth stiched me up by coping my US visa instead of the passport photo page, so I had to go round again. They were all very nice though and eventually I was on my way again. I don't know what I was worried about.<br>Mexico and in particular ...

Just Accommodation For Now................ <br><br>Accommodation <br><br>Whilst here I stayed at Hotel Washington, Dr. Noriega No. 68 (between Guerrero and Matamoros), Tel: 01 (662) 2131183. The spacious rooms were nothing special but it was probably the best and most secure looking of the budget hotels in the centre of town. Their current rates were 220 + 240 peso for 1 or 2 persons. If you're ...

Llegamos a Hermosillo cansados pero ansiosos para ver nuestros amigos que no habiamos visto en tanto tiempo. Visitamos a los Munoz, los Valdez, a Mireya y nuestros viejos vecinos. Hubo otros que queriamos ver tambien pero por una u otra cosa no los llegamos a ver. Y bueno, yo estaba un poco malita por el embarazo y por lo mismo nos quedamos un dia mas que planeado.

... over time as original ones were paid back. Our little crew had an amazing time in Hermosillo, the capital of the state of Sonora and a bustling marketplace in the day, but perfectly sleepy and seemingly almost deserted in the evening. A short but intensely powerful experience, a sharp reminder of what this was all about, the perfect wrap-up to a challenging journey of personal growth, and something none of us will soon forget.

... extremely sweet and friendly, giving us fresh tamales and hot chocolate the first morning, and it also came with the added benefit of eating at Casa Margarita's just down the street. We stayed in the guest house for the rest of our time in Creel, until Friday morning. Creel is located next to an ecological reserve of the Tarahumara Indians, the native people of the canyons in Chihuahua. Visitors are allowed to enter this reserve for a small fee, explore the forests and the lake, the ...

... the (wow) month and a half, so I'll do my best to pull up the slack. Life stays busy down here with classes and work, and I've started working with 2 groups of people learning English in a program called Tandem here at the University. We meet each week just to talk, half the time in English and half the time in Spanish. Now, on to the memories... When I last left you I made two promises, one to find out why we had our first 3-day weekend, and one to have photos ready to go ...

... practice my dancing in private. One sad and relatively dangerous aspect of this city is the numerous stray dogs. Mexico doesn't have any organization similar to the Humane Society, and veterinary care here is lacking as well, so there are quite a few homeless, fertile dogs that tromp around looking for food. Some of them are too tired to pose a threat, others are somewhat friendly, but I've encountered some that seem like they want to take a bite out of me. Maybe this ...

... I will definitely appreciate living in the Keweenaw when I return in that respect. Most of the city and cars all look slightly run down and dusty. There are modern, American businesses here like Wal Mart, Applebee´s, KFC, Dairy Queen, and McDonalds of course, but the majority of buildings and businesses are authentic Mexican. Street vendors are everywhere, and while some have sketchy food handling practices, we do have one favorite hot dog vendor. This man sells hot dogs that ...
