... twice more to make it 4-1 before it was even half time! Chivas' third goal came from a rare indirect free kick inside the penalty area, after dangerous play from an Atlas defender. I managed to capture the goal along with the ensuing celebrations on video, which partly conveys a sense of the incredible atmosphere inside the stadium.<br><br>Inevitably the second half failed to live up to the opening onslaught; it was ...

... 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 ...

... second I was about to grasp it. Looking down I was confronted by the biggest insect I have ever seen in my life! At first I had no idea what it was, but my American friends recognised it as a Praying Mantis from its distinctive posture. It had a fearsome leap but eventually we managed to trap the beast in a glass and release it into the shrubs outside. <br><br>I could sleep easy again. Or so i thought.<br><br>The next night I was awoken by a tickling sensation as ...

... 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. After about half a mile we reached a shanty town next to the line, where we spoke with a few of the local inhabitants. One was a former gang member from East Los Angeles, who had been deported from America and was living estranged from his family there. His story was just one of many ...

... and I know hardly any Spanish, it makes life difficult. <br> To celebrate my graduation Georgina, the old man and I went to the pub. There happened to be a world cup qualifier on between Mexico and the USA. Fantastic. Over cheap beer we watched the game. It was 1-1 until the very end when Mexico scored a last minute second goal, giving them much needed points. Naturally I was going for Mexico and joined in the cheering when they beat the yanks.<br> In the evening we ...

... grateful for, believe me. It isn't easy to be sick and alone though, no matter what. Problems that come into play are mostly mental and emotional. My modus operand of being completely and utterly dependant on myself (and no one else) gets called into question when I'm sick. Knowing that my body can "fail" like this scares me deeply. If I don't have me, who do I have? Dramatic questions like "will anyone notice if I ...

... has its sites but we weren't really into the travelling thing yet. Its funny, it is not so easy just to travel. it is a lot of walking which isn't the problem but it takes a lot out of you being so aware of whats around you all the time. I know, boohoo right?! It is just taking us a while to get into the swing of things. Look at the pictures we took from I guess anywhere, and if you want the story behind them then just ask. Otherwise these entry's will be novels.

This is my first time writing...obviously. I've been staying in touch with some friends back home, but I felt the need to share my experience with a wider audience. So, how did I get here? I was going to school back home in Kentucky - community college - and got the crazy idea to Major in Spanish. I took several semesters of Spanish at the college and had the worst time picking ...

... dudes twirling off big poles. Apparently it's an ancient Totonac ritual; five guys climb a very tall pole, or a crippled tree in the old days, and one prances on top and plays the flute, as the other four tie ropes around their waists and descend down to the ground whilst spinning around the pole. The positions they hold as they descend were supposed to correspond to requests for weather conditions and such. They used to do this every 52 years I guess, at the end of a ...
