Anche se in spagnolo ho compreso quasi tutta la narrazione dell'audioguida; la chiesa ce l'ha sempre avuta la mania del controllo e dell'annichilimento del pensiero ...

... to carry it for eleven months!" I could have done serious damage there. The stuff was gorgeous, so unique and colourful and things that you would never in a million years come close to at home. <br><br>We got ourselves a new camera - YEAY!!! Managed to get a good deal too, we think. We didn´t spend too much because of course the thing could get robbed on us again but at least now we´ll have some photos of where we´ve been too. Going to try load some up onto ...

... it, and continued thinking why did I do this for the next three hours. It could have been good, but we spent the first 45 minutes trotting through the city. Boring, I had walked through the city, and many others, I wanted to see some country side. When we got to the country side we were usually on little rocky paths that were a struggle for the horses.

Visited Doctors for a Malaria check today just to be on the safe side but was a cool negative result. Just gonna take it easy for a couple of days (still might go to this Mexican party tonight though...Tequila could be classed as a medicine?)
