Plaza Morelos Toluca

... did the ascent to the ruins - despite 400 odd steps was OK - signs place conveniently every 25 steps meant sufficient get your breath back stops, plus interesting too! One whole temple actually carved out including some of the statues too - unfortunately some of the steps are really wearing away & parts have been closed as they are afraid of more wear & tear - won't be easy to repair! Wonderful views of the ...

... dann weit** nach Taxco, b**ühmt für seine engen steilen Gassen und seine Geschichte als Silb**stadt. Wir sind schon fast da, da fahren wir plötzlich an ein** riesigen Dorfparty vorbei. Eine kurze Vollbremsung, und schon sind auch wir mit dabei. Die Kind** sind v**kleidet als kirchliche Würdenträg** und tanzen zu Ehren des Schutzpatrons des Dorfes. Die Dorfbewohn** sind ganz offen und **klären uns stolz ihr Fest, auf dem sonst nur Einheimische zu sein scheinen. Eine Band sorgt f ...

... rip-off, well, I don´t think I´ve been ripped off yet. Perhaps I´m just naive. 5. My favorite leisure time activity is running! I´ve tried to go every morning at seven and it feels so good. The mornings here are about 50 degrees and beautiful. I´ve also tried to start a couple books. I´m on Harry Potter Y la Piedra Filosofal. It´s the first Harry Potter in spanish. Melissa: 1. Mexico is one big ball of suprises, and I ...

... and playing soccer when we arrived at 4pm. By the time dusk came, everyone had left, and we ere all alone in this lovely park. Guess what 9200ft elevation is like at night.... COLD! Poor old Eve groaned into life the next morning, and we shivered until our first cup of coffee forced the sun to shine our way once again. It was about 0 celsius, and bundled up joggers were braving the cold air for their morning run.

... pearl, the cream de la cream of Baja california - La Paz. The only good thing that happend to me that day was the ride I got from a local man going straight to La paz. a 5 hour ride of no talking since he knew no english, and I knew no spanish. Complete silence all the way to la paz... We got there by night fall, after wandering around town for a little while I found a small hostel with the help of two Ameican cyclers.

Before Huitzilopochtli left town, he and I ambled our way through the streets after a night of high energy dancing. One of the bands walked next to us and was very nice ...

... The patient is currently stabilized by machines, and in Mexico no one has the right to turn the machines off (Not family, no living wills, etc.) After that, I was obviously feeling a little low, but then we got some good news!
