                    <title>update end of trip</title>
                    <description> bob A Day Trip to MitlaI thought I would give you an idea of one of our activities. The last time we were here we didn't get to the ruins at Mitla. Yesterday we went to see them.We took an hour journey on the second class bus to get there followed by a short tricycle cab ride. Browsed a minimal museum and wandered through the reconstructed ruins. This was not a Monte Alban Palenque or Teotihua</description>

                    <title>Day of the Dead Photos</title>
                    <description> Sue I couldn't find the buttons that let me put photos in a gallery.  I think it may be this Netbook computer.  It seems to lose and to overlay things.  Anyway I guess I'll just put them in this blog entry.</description>

                    <description> Sue For you cooks out thereFinding food here is a chore that must be done every couple of days.  It's been hard finding even the simplest of spices and herbs.  I'm sure that when you live here for a while you find the right shops and just keep going back for more.  But finding the right shops isn't easy.  On the up side every day brings a new challenge.In addition to salt and pepper I now h</description>

                    <description> Sue Bob and I arrived in Oaxaca early Monday evening after a four and a half hour bus ride.  We don't particularly like the bus company ADO but it's the only good one that services the area east and south of Mexico City.  Unlike the other first class bus lines we're familiar with Primera Plus and ETN ADO does not give out free watersoft drinks or a sandwich and snack.  Once the passengers h</description>

                    <description> Sue Ah Mexican taxis an experience to live through.  Taxis in big cities go everywhere at race car pace.  And talk about weaving in and out just missing other vehicles people walls and anything else in their way.  The operative word here is miss which they do.  I've found that the best way to live through it is to look at everything else and block the driving from my mind.  Works prett</description>

                    <description> Sue We were lucky and tickets to the Ballet Folklorico were still available.  We bought tickets for ourselves and for Alejandra and her 2 year old Amanda so they could join us.  It's a good thing we got tickets since the free section was packed and overflowing.  The show was a wonder to see.  And once again Amanda was a sweetheart.  She had the best time and couldn't take her eyes off of eit</description>

He just celebrated his 65th birthday and is now into older women.The straightahead jazz group  Dave Young Quartet  concert was pretty good.  It took a while for them to get in a grove but by the end of the concert they were great.This and the previous jazz concert were held at a small venue in the 3sided courtyard of an old hacienda that is</description>

                    <description>Sue   I'm sitting on the rooftop patio at Casa Berta overlooking Guanajuato.  We're here in part to attend the Festival International Cervantino.  The other part is because we love it here.Getting to our hotel on Thursday was a struggle although one we expected since we stayed here last trip.  Guanajuato doesn't have many streets that are open to vehicles.  Our taxi dropped us off at the bott</description>

                    <description>SueMy feet hurt so it must be time to take a break and tell you what's been happening.  Yes we arrived safely after a long day of preparation and a redeye flight into Mexico City.  And no we did not get enough sleep on the plane.Sunday was a slow and uneventful day.  We checked into Hotel Rioja on calle 5 de Mayo just one block off of the Zocalo that's the main square.  We stayed here la</description>

                    <description>BobGetting ready to go on a trip is a hassle. All that crap you have been putting off now has a real unnegotiable due date. Renew a rental Repair the other one House repairs replace the vineyard build an irrigation system.... it doesn't seem to have an end. But it will end on 9 October. And it will be out of reach and hopefully forgotten for two wonderful months. We will probably be in Mexi</description>

                    <title>Day of the Dead and Other Things</title>
                    <description> Sue Oaxaca is a great city in which to experience El Dia de los Muertos the day of the dead.  This celebration actually spans several days with highlights at least this year on Oct. 31 and Nov. 1.  The idea behind the festival is that the dead return overnight to commune with their living relatives and loved ones.  It is generally party time.  People decorate the graves with flowers mostly</description>
