... les jours. Il parait que cest pire durant la fin de semaine en plus... Et cest comme ca dans toutes les rues partout dans la ville.

Cest un tres bon hasard que je sois arrive ici durant les celebrations entourant la Vierge de Guadalupe. Marie a apparu dans une montagne pas loin dici, et a demande a un frere et lui a demande de construire une coupe deglises sur la montagne pour elle. Les eglises sont la et elles sont remplies a pleine ...

... Sunny Delight, cafe and cup of fruit.
Landing in Santiago did not appear to be anything. I could not see a town or much. Not many trees. Mountains though.
So, Santiago was where we needed to leave and get my bags, but upon going through customs, we were told we have to pay the reciprocity fee of $131 dollars each just to go get my bag and take a flight. I was defeated but Nick was ...

... where the tourists stretch out on beds soaking up the cancer eating sun rays, bombarded with very loud reggae or salsa beat rhythms whether they like it or not. Fortunately we discovered that there were areas in between these clubs where the locals and penny pinching tourists like us can spread out, go for a swim and listen to the rhythms at an acceptable volume without having to pay, and it works a treat. These areas also seemed to be ...

This time it was just the two of us so we went swimming together and went to a very cute outside party lounge/bar where the ladies drink for free. I wasn't that thirsty so I got Ry to help me with mine. As the party was getting started and the dance music was going we decided to get up on the dance floor and were soon followed by many more dancers. On into the night and many drinks later, we took a break from dancing to sit for a while, and we noticed that not only ...

... every day and that quite sucked. But it was good to make some homework and get in to the Spanish language. The second week the weather improved and I went to the playa and that was the reason why I came to Playa del Carmen to learn Spanish. I really enjoy it here. Last weekend 5 students and me went on a road trip to Merida the capital of Yucatan. I drove the mini van the whole way (400km one way). We had ...

... a stall that is busy and where people seem to know the owner´ has been effective so far Torta con papas (potato, chorizo, peppers in a bun) Mash with refried beans, cheese and shredded grilled steak blue corn tortilla quesadillas pineapple and mango fruit cocktail Tacos of various sizes. aqua fresca (flavoured water drink) - horchata - nut milk (a bit rich for linds) - Berry blend (very refreshing) - pineapple (liquid fresh pineapple)

... I want to say. This is mainly because so many people, Argentinians in particular, speak SO FAST. And if you ask them to speak more slowly, they do so for about 3 words before reverting to their usual rapid fire speech. One of the Argentinian women actually makes me lean back and tense up when she speaks to me, as I feel like she is attacking me with words. I´ve also met a Dutch girl from Amsterdam, who told me that Nighteveght means fag road or fag fighting ...

... up to Chavez perhaps Ken could learn a thing or two about efficiency from the Mexicans. After visiting the impressive Zona Historico in the city we also took in the comprehensive Museo Nacional de Antropologia, a useful introduction to the Mexican cultures we´d soon be coming across in exploring the country´s ancient ruins. The first such side trip was to Teotihucan, meaning "place where the gods were born" reflecting the Aztec ...

... a bad head. Did absolutely nothing all day except lounge on the roof terrace drinking orange juice and chatting to people. Made the valiant effort to take my laundry to the cleaners but forgot it was sunday so nothing was open. Walked around town abit late afternoon and it was all pretty quiet (I suspect everyone's suffering the Tequila binge just like me). Last day in Zacatecas tomorrow so lots to do before I head to Mexico city the day after tomorrow. Sept 17 ...

... of the Aztecs. The view from the top of the Pyramids were AWESOME! The weather was hot and sunny, perfect day for the tour of the Ruinas. Me and Juliette are starting to get along fine, but long way to Brazil, hopefully it's gonna be okay. I had some mexico roadside comida before departing the ruinas, Juliette was still jet legged and not eating or she just ...
