consegnare ...

Nous voici à Chihuahua, sous une chaleur superieure aux 40 degrés (voire aux 45), la ville du grand Pancho Villa, bandit puis révolutionnaire mexicain, dont on visite l'humble demeure ainsi que celle de Benito Juarez, autre personnage important de l'histoire ...

... centre to a hostel near the station in the hope of snaffling some suckers but the place was empty and the owner a complete nutter, who seemed to think we were trouble making party animals - time for him to get a new career!! The Pancho Villa museum, with it's appalling English translations(maybe I should hire myself out to proof read for government bodies e.g. tourist offices, museums, etc as they all seem to need a lot of help!), was a welcome diversion.

... is a cement box with its own bathroom( cold water only),communal kitchen and a rooftop to hang out my clothes on laundry day.The San Antonia Posada was definitely Mexican as no one spoke a word of English here.It took me awhile to adjust to the place but i observed that the womin who ran the place were always doing some kind of cleaning around the place. their idea of air conditioning and mine are very different,there was a fan bolted to the wall as funny as that is the fan ...

Chihuahua...very nice, just need a first contact then everything rolls...

... the leash for a little exercise, which they normally take care of themselves by just running around a lot, especially Fletcher. On this occasion, Fletcher ran straight for a bird in the lagoon, not realizing that the "flowers" he was trampling on were actually floating plants in the lagoon. He went "splosh" straight into the water, and Eugénie and I were horrified ...
