The St. Regis Mexico City

... or chicken (chicken is not counted as meat here apparently), the waitress told me there was just one thing on the four page menu that I could eat - a cheese enchilada. It was minging. It was basically a bowl of dough with some Heinz tomato soup poured over it and some cheese grilled on top. Cheese seems to be in everything, it´s like cholesterol is one of the major food groups here and no meal is complete with bucketloads of it. Later I got lost trying to find my back to the hotel so I ...

... orrore.<br>Per il resto del giorno ci limitiamo a camminare lungo i viali del centro, al momento di salire in camera ci accorgiamo della fatica di essere a 2200 mt, l'ostello è subdolo tu credi di dover salire al terzo piano, ma loro hanno due piani non conteggiati (dove c'è la cucina e l'altro con la sala tv) così in realtà devi arrivare al quinto. Dobbiamo organizzarci bene, perchè una volta scesi, se ti accorgi di aver dimenticato qualcosa, sono tutti cavoli tuoi risalire!!

... not a fracture of how it was in its glory days but at least some of it still remains. We explored around there for a while and in and into the market streets that run behind it which are just an experience that cant be missed. Masses of people wander in and out them just casual browsing of haggled loudly for the best bargains. The stalls offer everything that you could imagine with clothes, accessories, souvenirs and pirated music among some of the delights to be had. The food stalls ...

Well, now that I'm home, I suppose this is my final entry - Mexico City. My last and almost my favorite stop, Mexico City is full of life. Here are some photos of my final adventure in Central America. Pues ya que estoy en casa, supongo que esta página es mi última - la de DF. Mi última parada y casi favorita, el DF está lleno de vida. Aquí están ...

... later). The two great cities of Palenque and Tonina fought to control the commercial route from the Gulf of Mexico to the heart of the Peten. The story is about the kidnapping of the Ruler Kan Joy Chitam. The costumes were very good and some actors were animals and they moved very well. I am not a keen theatre goer at the best of times. It was shall we say different! Next day we took a five hour guided tour around two Mayan villages to learn more about the ...

... Suzan did not trust their cleanliness. While waiting for the meal Sophia and I went for a dark stroll through Parque Alameda. She sat atop my head as we walked past locals dancing to music blasting from overworked speakers, to the marble monument for Benito Juarez brightly illuminated by floodlights. I tried to buy her a Barney balloon but the vendor couldn't break my 200 peso bill ($15) for the 30 peso cost ($2.25). The vendor had already tied the balloon string around Sophia's wrist ...

... and apparently is the new bohemians of this wonderful city. It is a great place to just wander from cafe to cafe and watch the people sip their latte`s and chat about their livelihoods. We took the connecting bus to go to the fanous bullring of Mexico City and were pleased to also find that one of the stadiums of one of the four temas was right next door to the bullring. We weren`t able to visit either of the places, but we did see them from the outside. We finally ...

... in den nationalfarben mexikos haengen an ihnen. wir setzen unsere tour fort und besichtigen noch diverse andere gebaeude und plaetze, ruhen uns dann im hotel etwas aus, um dann essen gehen zu koennen! nach dem essen suchen wir uns eine lustige bar, drei jungs in unserem alter sind scheinbar die chefs und machen durchgehend lustige sachen. sie trinken auch signifikant mehr als alle ihre gaeste zusammen. leider muessen sie ihre bar um zehn uhr ...

... small, it is very powerful. <br><br>On Thursday night I joined a new friend and checked out a few local bars. The best one was a little hole in the wall hosting an anniversary party and popular with folks getting off work. The place was packed with a band, a shoe-shine guy, and workers still in their uniforms, drinking rum and smoking big cigars. While there, an older man at the bar next to me gave me a pack of gum as a present. When I asked why ...

... The outskirts of Mexico City are full of Shanty towns and it looked like a complete ghetto. Still good to see them though as the 35 million have to live somewhere! I was impressed with Teotihuacan. The pyramids are the biggest in the world, although they are short and fat rather than tall. The altitude in Mexico City (2100m) really took it's toll as I was running up and down the 2 big pyramids (Pyramid of the Sun and Moon) and it ...
