Apologies for my lack of updates recently, we've been in the middle of nowhere with very little internet connection. From Monterrey we travelled to Cuatro Cienegas, which is in the middle of the desert. It's a very sleepy place and we stayed in a motel that looked like a set for a horror movie. It…

After looking at several travel destinations my friend and I agreed to travel to Mexico and Guatemala. We arranged it in the summer of 2006 so we had to wait a couple of months. We traveled with KLM and bought the tickets together we set miles away from each other in the airplane. But we were able …

The term is often refered to as the nationality for a country, I'm using it to describe the experience of living in a big city, one of the biggest cities of the world in fact. Mexico city is located in central Mexico in North America, its population is more than 20 million people and it is the capi…

Our new Mexican friend Armando had some interesting things to say about the beggars in Mexico - that however much money they make, of course they're not going to buy clothes and look clean because then they won't look the part and make any money.  They made a film about these people and some o…

Before we were to leave Tequisquiapan we stopped to say good-bye to my grandmother and other members of my family.  We ended up spending more time than we thought we would…so it was kinda late when we finally took the bus to Mexico City. The rest of our remaining time was going to be spent w…

While in Mexico city, we travelled out to Teotihuacan, which are some amazing pre-Aztec Pyramids 50 km north of the city built between 100-1 BC. We were quite impressed with ourselves for getting there and back without a guide book (our one doesn´t start until southern Mexico) and not enough s…

Estoy muy bien pero es exageradamente caro el internet por acá...la gente es amable...subiré fotos hasta que llegue a Máxico acá es casi imposible.

My last day in Mexico City.  I had originally planned to fly out Tuesday afternoon but when I was trying to buy the flight in Puerto Escondido, either the airline site kept crashing or the flight I selected came up as unavailable.  I was getting frustrated and anxious to get to Peru so wh…

USA Trip + Wedding in Mexico City

I just want to scream in rage.  I did it again.  My camera doesn’t work.  I haven’t had a chance to take one freakin picture.  It was hard falling asleep because I’m so upset at myself, but I have to move on.  This trip has been calling my name for quite sometime.&nbs…

according to a news report this morning. Locally Mexico is being hit by the tropical storm, and floods all through the Gulf of Mexico/Campeche area. There are local communities that cannot be contacted. Thousands of people have lost their homes. And, in addition, the high elevations are being h…

Word up Homies, Hopefully I will not offend everybody with this email, as my writing style can be blunt and vulgar, so be prepared.  But let me repeat what I said last year when I first truly traveled Mexico.  I love Mexico!!  It is a mixture of the people and the culture.  Eve…
