NH Lazaro Cardenas

... bus.
Every big stone is held in place by some kind of concrete in which small black rocks were placed. This gives a peculiar style to the constructions here. This and the way the pyramids are placed along the "main street", I think the place is pretty impressive.
I like the small ziggurats.

Bought 2 necklaces, 1 obsidian and 1 (supposedly) crystal, for 2.5 Euros.

... staan... Na een uurtje noordwaards rijden (meer over rijden in Mexico city in de volgende entry) vinden we enkel wegwijzers naar Texcoco. Spijtig dat we daar niet moeten zijn, want die richting is heel goed aangeduid. Alle andere richtingen daarentegen lijken onvindbaar. Ook de wegennummering is nogal verwarrend. De wegenatlas en de plannetjes in de lonely planet komen niet overeen, en de nummers van de wegen waar wij op rijden staan in geen van beiden. Om ...

Two and a half weeks in central Mexico in March: sunny, warm, very dry, high elevation. Like early summer. Great time with my sister (who speaks Spanish) and my brother and brother-in-law. Recommend a Spanish dictionary, "sopes", and "micheladas" (Mexican beer and plenty of lime juice). Not luxurious but very cheap. Scary water but fabulous food.

... and 400, and Lambrico said it was in excess of a 1000 students. I believe the reason for the massacre was that a large group of students got together to demonstrate against the government but the Mexican president had prepared for this by placing snipers around the square on all the high buildings, and the command was given to fire upon all the protesters. The murdered were cleared and the whole mess swept under the rug before the Olympics, thus ...

After the mostly unpleasant couple of days in Acapulco, we were happy to find the RV park called Flores de Las Penas in the little town of Las Penas, just up the coast from Lazaro Cardenas and Playa Azul. The drive getting there was pleasant and rather scenic with some occasional beautiful ocean views. When we got there and asked where we should park, the manager pointed to a nice spot, so we set up there ...

... around 7-8 hours travelling time. Not much to say about the last few weeks, although I had a very interesting day navigating the endless streets of Markets in Mexico City over the weekend. Some places it's less like a market and more of a mosh pit. Classes have been fun and I received lots of hugs letters from the students in Primary which made it a little bit harder to leave ...

... in a strange place. It is about a 10 minute walk from our house and the shopping centres (x3) that are across the road in two direction from our gated community. The road to the school isn't paved, making it a very dusty walk on dry days. Next to the school are some corn fields, which seem to be scattered all around the place. It's a very strange mix of rural and westernisation. Sometimes I question whether it is a good thing to be teaching English here. I figure ...

... directly towards the citadel or cuidadela, the geographic center of this once thriving ancient city. After ignoring the pushy souvenir guys walking around inside the site we climbed into the citadel and could easily see the looming figures of the two pyramids in the distance. We climbed up a small pyramid directly in front of Quetzalcoatl's Pyramid. Unfortunately this was closed to the public as they were doing some ...

... after being burned out after my degree for at least 5 months i have managed to do a drawing!!!!!!!!!!!! And a damn good one too -Sam I am sooo looking forward to being on the beach for 3 months with me paints! We are about to make a 12 hour bus journey to Palenque in the jungle near Guatamala to camp and see mayan ruins and get sunburnt. I hope to see my good and beautiful freind Oriana that has been near a lake in ...

The last two weeks will we stay in town enjoy the beach here and finish our work in the plant. It would be my last entry here in Mexico hope you enjoyed my story about my work and weekend vacations here in Mexico. I know one thing I'm sure I'll come back to Mexico because the country is beautiful and the people are very friendly. At least I can say if you ever want to travel in Mexico don't worry just do it. But try to practice your Spanish before you arrive here;).
