... 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.
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.
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 money in the midrange category, yet offers everything that you would expect from a top end hotel. English speaking staff, modern rooms, wireless, restaurant, pool, laundry and secure parking were just a few of the things on offer. Their current rates were 450 + 480 for 1 or 2 persons and 600 peso's for a suite - but there was room for bartering. Still, excellent rates for what is on offer.

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 ...

... mission churches, waterfalls, hot springs and extremely bizarre rock formations (shaped like elephants, mushrooms, and frogs). 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. It was a bit awkward to walk around in what felt like their backyard, so we limited our time in these areas and spent our few days getting lost in the ...

... the next entry. With any luck, I'll be able to fulfill both in this entry. 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 ...

... the festival, and agua calientes (hot springs). Hopefully we will avoid any intestinal distress while in Montezuma. My time here at the café is almost up, so that's it for now. How are the snow statues looking this year? Explaining winter carnival (a Michigan Tech tradition) to people down here always elicits exciting responses. Hope this entry finds all of you in good health. Ski a couple more kilometers on the Tech trails for us, or throw a few snowballs. Take care, Jeff

... normal, but the second one I had to flag down in the street since I wasn´t near a stop. He pulled over but definitely only came to a rolling stop, while yelling at me to hop on. I jumped on and I´m pretty sure he started accelerating while I was still in mid jump. He was a small man in cowboy boots, and would yell at the bus when it wouldn´t shift correctly while bouncing up and down in his seat. I was wondering what his night life was like, if his work days were so stressful. It ...
