El Retiro


George and I arrived in Lanquin on a wet Tuesday in August, the rainy season is now in full force and afternoon/ evening (or morning for that matter) showers (read heavy bone drenching downpours) are not uncommon. We had been told that our preferred accommodation for the night (El Retiro) was fully booked, but that didn't stop intrepid and tenacious explorers like us from trying to get a couple of beds or hammocks ...

... ways for modern conveniences. Since the journey from Palenque to Flores is long, the tour spends a night with a Lacandon family. Even though it was part of the tour I was expecting a bit of culture, unfortunately I was let down, except for this odd little man, who claimed in was the local shaman and wanted to show us his house. Hmmm, that sounds interesting. Only a few of us were standing around when he approached ...

... on the bus could stand however they liked. Dave thought that if we weren't married already he would have paid the bus driver for that kind of service.

We got to a town outside of Flores and were then kicked off the bus and onto two minivans which shuttled us to town (v. odd). We then negotiated for 40 minutes with a tour company who wanted to take us to Tikal at 4.30am we wanted to go at 7. We thought we'd ...

... br>I came to realise the temples and worship tablets we were walking past were only 20-30% of what has been uncovered in the area. The rest remain large green mounds with trees and animals roaming happily on them. Well the trees are quite rooted actually but yeah.
Some of the temples were left half uncovered so you could see how it had been. In such lush humid wetness it wouldn’t take long for leaves and nutrients to settle on the stones, and then water and then seeds ...

What is it with the 1980s MC Hammer circus clown pants that European backpackers wear? Seriously, would they wear that **** back home in Helsinki or Milan? Picture oversized orange trousers made of a gauzelike material complete with thin stripes of every color in a crayon box. I really like how they tuck them into their socks to create that extra flare, especially when the wind hits them. Enough of that, I know you didn't log on here to read about ...

Encore une fois de retour à Queretaro, cette fois avec maman et les soeurettes !
Queretaro, selon moi la plus belle ville du Mexique parmi celles que j'ai pu visiter...et où j'ai vécu entre janvier et septembre 2007.

Pleine d'églises multicolores, de ruelles sympathiques, de fundas où la nourriture est délicieuse (surtout "La fuente de Lupita", situ ...

Queretaro is the last of the colonial cities on the Camino Real between Mexico City & Santa Fe - having done a long run of them I'm colonialled out! Still, have had a good wander around - can't actually enter anything as all shut because of the swine flu, but then i was never one for chuirches & museums anyway! At least most of the bars & restaurants are still open - the open air ones are ...

... maitre d hotel ne voulais pas negocier et Sandra voulais que Max insiste encore un peu... La troisieme: Encore une fois, Max se sentait aggresse par cette maitresse d hotel, qui ne changeait pas une mine quand elle lui repetait plusieurs fois le meme prix de 460 pesos pour 1 nuit dans un "trou sans fenetres". La quatrieme: il etait deja 22h00 passe et nous n avions rien mange de la journee a part 2 crepes au ...

... No se donde me voy a quedar, ni donde ir. Lo unico que se de BA / Argentina es que hay: *un rio *un chingo de librerias *una callesota *Empanadas / Tango *Y que ahi soy una "mina" Aun así mis expectativas son altas y estoy refeliz.
