... State is quite a contrast to the US. While there is poverty in the US is is so much more visible in this part of Mexico.<br>The Mexico 15D from Nogales to Hermosillo is dual carriage way but done in the latin way, one lane goes round one side of a hill and the other lane on the other side.<br>There is an awful lot of desert/scrub in these countries though it does change suttley form sand and rocks to quite green scrub with stubby trees ...

... for an early night then you may want to stay elsewhere, as next door has musician's playing until 23.30 hours and probably even later on a Friday, Saturday night. The other selling point was the cheerful elderly night manager. <br><br>Hotel San Andres, Juarez y Oaxaca No. 14, Tel: 01 (662) 2173099, Web: www.hotelsanandreshermosillo.com .

Man, trying to upload my 450 photos and videos at the mo! Mmm maybe better not be so snap happy - that´s only a week´s worth of travel!! So, we´ve had about 5 days in Mexico so far and it´s been great. Very dusty because we´ve been in the Sonoran Desert for most of it. Thought i´d just share a few of the more different things, impressions, you know. * How to tell the men from the boys in Mexico: the men look like mexicans, the boys look like ...

Dean: From Flagstaff we headed down to Nogales on the Mexican border. The plan was to take our time crossing the border as we did not want to get caught up in any issues with the border guards, police, con-men etc. Well it did not go quite to plan... We got off the Greyhound and went to the desk to see when the next coach across the border was heading off. The lady there pointed to a coach pulling out of the station, but said we could catch it on the other ...

There are also many Tarahumara still living in the reserve in caves and rustic cabins, the men dressed in thrift shop style clothing and the women dressed in brightly colored dresses with scarves and hoods.

Our first holiday here was Día de la Constitución, which is always held on February 5 and celebrates, you guessed it, the signing of the Mexican constitution in 1917. Ryan and I headed out of Hermosillo Saturday morning loaded with chilaquiles, eggs with chorizo, beans, mole (a tasty chicken sauce), and tortillas from Señora, ready for an adventure in the mountains. We took a bus to Moctezuma, a ...

... similar to other large cities, since I have nothing to compare it to, but I think I should start carrying biscuits with me just in case. This upcoming weekend is our first 3-day weekend, to celebrate a certain festival of which I do not yet know the origin. For my homework, I'll find out what this festival is for, and I'll also try to get some pictures uploaded here. We have plans to head east into the mountains, in search of a town called Montezuma, celebrations ...

... blow your mind. They are served on a large toasted bun with lettuce, tomatoes, salsa, small pieces of bacon, cheese, and guacamole. Not very healthy at all, but only 12 pesos (about $1) and enough to fill you up for a while. One of our goals is to finish one without making enough of a mess to feed several stray dogs in the process. The buses are cheap , ubiquitous, and a very efficient way to get around, but they are as crazy as the desert is dry. The first one I rode was close ...
