Hey!<br><br>I went to a big archeological site north of Mexico City called Teotihuacan, to help tear down the rest of the ruins by walking on them. We were not many tourists there, because it´s low season right now I guess. It´s not often you wish you were surrounded by more tourists but when hawker outnumber it´s preys (tourists) 3:1 you get the eyes of every single hawker on you. To Mexican hawkers credit they usually walk away after just one "no". <br ...

Fui la primera en levantarse. En condiciones normales soy muy huevona pero curiosamente siempre que voy de viaje me despierto primero aunque nos hayamos desvelado... Habíamos llegado al Depa a las 6:00 de la mañana, ¿o era más tarde?. <br>Desayunamos, fuimos a la playa, fuimos a la alberca, yo estaba desesperada porque habíamos quedado de ver a los peruanos en la noche. <br>En el Paradise estuvimos con ellos, bailamos ...

... advertised rate; I got a room for 200 Peso. Other hotels looked just as good on this stretch but I found it hard to pick a single fault with Hotel Villa Roxana. <br><br>Through the same gates as Villa Roxana is Hotel Villa Nirvana.

There are normally 3 swimming pools at this site; these are unusable as are all the toilets and ...

... you just land in the water and the boat comes to get you" and after that all I could imagine was how that was totally going to happen to me and then I'd have my arms and legs savagely ripped off by evil sharks, so I decided not to go. But I did stand knee deep in the ocean for a minute or two. I also went shopping a little bit on Saturday too. I bought a cute purse at this market for 35 pesos (~$3.50) after I bargained the ...

... for autographs and pictures with them. The really crazy part is the spot of water they jump into is quite small between jetting rocks so their aim must be dead on or ................. ! So that action over we get a taxi ride back to our camp about a half hour away for $12 which include a sight seeing tour of Acapulco at night from some of the higher mountain roads. With a population of some 2,000,000 persons the light show from Acapulco at night is spectacular ...
