... does a few rounds of cape action before embedding the sword up to it's hilt in the bulls neck. The assistants come out & make it turn sharply back & forward to cut up its organs, before it drops to it's knees and is 'humanely killed' !!! Some horses come in to drag the bloody bull away. This goes on for at least 8 bulls with very little variation, except once, when a matador got stabbed in his torso with a horn or when the chains on the bull to drag it away came loose or ...

... been used for years. There was one Senor there doing some work and we had a chat and he showed us around. There is some natural hot springs here and plenty of space to park. He said we were welcome to stay and didn't charge us anything. He told us how to get to the lakes in the area and where to get propane and some supplies. We unhooked and went for a tiki tour. At the big lake, Boquilla, we saw that there wasn't much access around it so we opted to ...

... Rafael's older brother and husband of Diego Rivera's daughter Ruth. We missed out on works by Pedro Coronel as well as some Picasso and Dali pieces. Next time! When the allotted 15-minute visit was over, staff members eager to get home gently guided me to the museum exit. I took as long a detour as I could to get back to the entrance, scurrying around the half destroyed temple and stealing a few more quick photos. I felt like I had ...

... The hostel was run by the son of its founder, and it was definitely socially oriented. Beers were available from the fridge for $15 pesos ($1.50 US). Both nights we were there, Ernesto instigated drinking outings, which Jesse and I due to our good upbringings felt obliged to participate in. We met a number of fun travlers here, including two Swiss girls, a ...

... 170km, some of which can still be seem in the country side today. Only about 1% of this site has been excavated. These ruins stand on a hill in a broad valley so we were able to take in great views of the country side as we explored. Tomorrow is a shopping day in Zacatecs. This region is know for fine leather and silver. Dan can hardly wait. Woo Hoo! Pictures to follow and Haley is now back to good health.

... but I'll stand by my pro-bullfighting stance. That very evening, after watching the bullfight, was Independence Day-Eve, and a GIANT party throughout the city. I enjoyed the festivities first from the roof of the hostel, where I had a great view of the fireworks, and then from the street in the middle of the massive throngs of partying Mexicans.

... swelled slowly and a larger-than-life compère jabbered incomprehensively to a country beat. 30 second challenge - direct from Nashville The aural assault continued - steel guitar, mawkish lyrics and twanging vocals.

Our guide, the broody Guillerme, reacted by sinking his head into his hands, but he needn't have worried ...

... living room with a fireplace, a complete kitchen, and a pleasant dining room. The best part however is the rooftop terrace which we always had to ourselves. While rooftops and terraces are "the" things in San Miguel they are not popular in Guanajuato.....but we had a fabulous view. SO....what could be wrong with this picture? Nothing serious! Just that in the morning as the sun is barely making it's way ...

... our Spanglish increasing in fluency by the minute, until we emerged into a large courtyard at the back of some houses. A man emerged from one of the dwellings with a huge vat of tequila which he began offering around the assembly. The band sprang to life again and the fiesta continued with renewed vigor, dancers spilling onto the terrace and music reverberating around the yard. I lost count of how many shots I'd taken and the number of new best friends I'd made ...
