... almost twice the size of what I'm accustomed to at White Hart Lane. Both teams share the stadium but fortunately we opted to sit with the Chivas fans who heavily outnumbered their local rivals.<br><br>The first half was one of the most unbelievable 45 minutes of football I've ever watched. Within seconds Chivas had scored with a deft lob, after one of their strikers was played through straight from kick off. Naturally the ...

... car washes, candies, and balloons hawk their wares to drivers stopped in traffic, performers ( glass-walkers, fire-breathers, clowns, ¨ singers and guitar-players, and even the odd melon juggler or two) set up shop at intersections while traffic is paused for red lights, and food stalls offering everything from freshly-fried churros to tacos al vapor, freshly pressed juices ...

... light in time to identify my assailant as a fair sized cockroach! However, by the time I grabbed a shoe to batter it with, the ****er had disappeared beneath my wardrobe.<br><br>I have since become somewhat paranoid. Where will it crawl next time I sleep? Not my face? Or will I awake to find a scorpion in my bed or a tarantula spinning its web around me? Tonight I'll be applying plenty of insect repellent before bed and sleeping with a loaded gun beneath the pillow...

... of Tequila and Mariachis it is still a distinctly Mexican city.<br><br>On the first weekend I took a walk with Isobel and a few of the Americans down the railway tracks near our house.

Flying into Mexico on this little plane felt very adventurous. For the few months coming up to my arrival in Mexico I had actually been scared. I was going into a country I knew nothing but bad things about. I was going by myself, and I couldn&#8217;t speak a word of Spanish, how ...

... and it is a special day for us because we are going to our son in Bucerias, north of Puerto Vallarta. We haven't seen each other in two years. As if this not enough excitement my brother from Winnipeg is flying in to spend 10 days with us. I think we can handle it.  We totally enjoy a slow meandering pace through the countryside, exploring perfect little villages tucked away from the tourist trail. We drove the tequila route for awhile until we had to get on the fast track ...

... was quite a moving picture, almost self explanatory. The other important event that happened in this building was the signing of the charter by Hidalgo that outlawed slavery in Mexico. In a plaza almost next door you get a good view of the City Hall built in 1952 but in a style to match the other buildings and it does this very well. Next to this we went to the Rotunda of Jalisco's favourites, life size statues of 20 of the most famous, many of whom ...

... is in cans and the state has smog checks so the air is pleasant even in the downtown areas. We've included detailed captions of the sights with the pictures so you can all follow the day's tour. Starting at the plaza de Armas, we hit the Palacio de Gobierno, the Cathedral (of course), the Templo de La Merced, the Presidencia Municipal, the Plaza de la Liberacion, Teatro Degollado, down through the Plaza Tapatia to the ...
