                    <description>The hot ride to Tulum yesterday seems eons ago  took second class sauna bus  the air conditioning did not really work and the windows dod not open and even the locals were really hot. Chetumal seems far away  a different city  the capital of Quinanto Roo state no its not cancun with few tourists in the hotel with mexican families and talking to a german woman having coffee. Here is very to</description>

                    <title>Long Bus ride to the heat</title>
                    <description>Leaving Tuxatepec I was feeling sad not wanting to be the only gringa in a place. Also the bus station was absolutely crazy with travellers  had thought of not staying the one night when I arrived but buses were sold out when I awoke I was thinking of going to the Tuxlas  a low hilly region in the south of Veracruz state on my way back to the yucutan pennisula  but somehow changed my mind and</description>

                    <description>Left Oaxaca on Easter Sunday to cross the mountains to the east by bus and it was an incredible ride on an economical bus  not the school bus second class but the ones without TV and that stop many places and that dont have a bathroom and let vendors on to sell food like tamales and tacos and nuts and cheese and on other rides icecream and juices etc. It was also one of those rides that took 6 </description>

                    <description>The computer just erased my entry so here I go again. It is Good Friday here in Oaxaca and it is a different sort of easter weekend than back home. Although many mexicans have gone to the beach for the holidays I have not seen an Easter Bunny  either of fur or chocolate. it is still a religious holday here with processions and church events.Today there have been several processions from differen</description>

                    <description>Got to Oaxaca Sunday morning early after an overnight bus ride. Much easier getting into town this time  no strikes or marches or being a Sunday morning traffic. Got in about 8 due to the time change here  sprung forward and walked the quiet streets from the proper bus station to the zocallo and then to my hostel where I was able to check in early and take a much needed hot shower with some wat</description>

                    <description>I am feeling sad by the ocean  its saltiness that licks my legs as I walk seems to fill me with salt for the tears that well out of my eyes all too frequently  tears of aloneness and despair  I wish to see the water not through a liquidy gaze but clearly in its beauty.  want to feel its power and joy  dissolve in it for a littlebut then pain returns of memories of being unwanted and leftou</description>

                    <title>On the way to the beach....</title>
                    <description>I finally decided that I had to get out of the city and go to the beach. Left on monday instead of sunday and spend the better part of two days on the bus. Had originally planned to leave sunday and spend a day in cordoba then go to oaxaca and then to puerto escondido but felt really tired on Sunday and in a sad mood so did not leave and to make the connection i had to take the bus trip back to </description>

                    <title>Circles</title>
                    <description>Find myself going in circles again back in Xalapa for 2 nights and 1 day. Leaving Cuetzulan I told myself it was because I wanted to see the moist mountain countryside which was a wonderful ride and not pass back though the hard dryness around Puebla which is true but it is also a pattern I have  when I feel down or uncomfortable in a place I tend to retreat to the last place I found remotely</description>

                    <title>Fogged Magic </title>
                    <description>Cuetzulan is a very small town of steep cobble stone streets surrounded by a beautiful lush landscape and much poverty.  I am one of the few tourists here though there are a number of hotels for a place of this size and definately the only foreigner  stand out of course and feel the hestitancy from the indegenous women around me  not me personally of course but it brings up those feelings.

                    <description>I am now in the magical town of Cuetzalan in the Sierra Norte de Puebla after a bit of a circuatous sp route   I went from Xalapa to Puebla yesterday and from Puebla to here though I am geographically now much closer to Xalapa but a wanted to see Puebla and b could not figure out the bus route  ticketbus did not have a link though am sure you can do it through a combination of 2nd class b</description>

                    <title>Brown</title>
                    <description>Arrived in Puebla today  and decided to stay only one day. It is a big city of almost 2 million people and while the historic section is beautiful with one main cathedral that is on one of Mexicos bills and churches and museums and some pedestrian streets coming into town I got wierded out so decided not to staymore than one night. Also the air pollution hurt my eyes guess that answers my q</description>

                    <title>Xico parks and civilization</title>
                    <description>Today I got out of the city which did me some good  on local intertown bus went to town of Xico about 17 km away and another world and then to small city of Coatepec about 12 km away. Area around here is beautiful  in foothills of mountains peaks are usually covered by cloud and very lush  a combination of temperate and tropical  I believe coffee and green and plaintains or bananas an</description>

                    <title>Another Urbane Mexico</title>
                    <description>Although it is only just over a 2 hour bus ride away and in the same state the city of veracruz seems like a different country and my afternoon on the beach yesterday seems like another time altogether. I am in Jalapa or Xalapa it is spelled both ways  nationally and internationally which is a city of about  12 million and the capitol of the state of verzcruz. it is in the mountains just e</description>

                    <description>I think I need some calm my mind is zipping and feeling stressed from the constant noise and activity and changes. Had not planned to stay today but when I got up late did not feel like moving on either. Got a bit drunk for my first time in Mexico last night  was going for one beer at one of the places under the portales that are by the zocallo as was feeling stressed and tired had a second a</description>

                    <title>Time warp </title>
                    <description>Again this is an entry that was started a day ago in another city which in the travelling timewarp seems light years away  especially after an overnight 15 hour bus ride. At least the buses are more comforatable than in Canada and the US  lots of leg room and the seats recline and fortunately they turn off the movies between 11pm and 7 am they have overhead speakers here  you do not use headse</description>

                    <title>On Novelty</title>
                    <description>One thing about travel is the novelty of it  the newness of situations and places you encounter  from larger things like the architecture of cities the language the food the people in general the historical sights and natural wonders to little things  the bathrooms the sidewalks crossing the street and with longer term travel how the novelty wears off after a while. When encountering th</description>

                    <title>Beach Class</title>
                    <description>Started this entry yesterday morning in Campeche which now seems light years ago. Today I went to a small beach town  Progresso  about 25 km from here  Merida  on the gulf of Mexico. Not a spectacular beach but was nice and very low key  it  is mainly a place where Meridians go for the day on weekends and in summer with a few North American retirees so is pretty low key and empty  no high ri</description>

                    <description>Yes I am back in Campeche for a day on the way to Merida  not sure I made the right decision  have been longing for Merida  in memories is a good city  lots of free activities has tourists without being too touristy intellectual and cultural without being pretentious and relatively easy to get out of  except the location  flat with no water and that hit me on the bus ride today  the lon</description>

                    <description>Not Big Heads at Carnaval though. Big Olmec heads in the parkmuseum and yes Carnival is happening here now  later then most other places.Wanted to get off the gringo backpacker trail  and I have definately done that here. Have see 3 other gringo people in this city of almost 700000. A few Mexican tourists it seems but while a prosperous city due to oil since the 1970s it is not on the tou</description>
