Made to Guadalajara late at night got off the bus and there is a taxi waiting for me. I expected to see tall building like New York City the tallest building was a American Hotel I think it was a Hilton Hotel about 20 floors most of the build were 8 to 10 floors. Couldn't see much at night a lot of traffic every one going home from work big factories on my way to hotel. The name of my hotel is Hotel Portobelo didn't expect such a nice hotel walked in and my they had my reservation they gave me my key card and went to my room.

Going to get some much needed rest and much needed relaxation before I go to Guadalajara. I slept most of the night this city is a noisy with the Pulmonia going around with there loud music. A Pulmonaia is a little four wheeler that will take you from one place to another along the beach and at on time it use to cost 50 cents about 35 years ago when I was first time I came here, now they charge 200 dollars. Pulmonaia means pneumonia in English. The four wheeler is open so you get hit with cold air at night so you might get pneumonia. I do not like to use them I use there bus system and it runs along the beach for 10 paseo that about 75 cents. The second day I spent ... read more

North America » Mexico » Chihuahua » Copper Canyon September 27th 2015

http://www.amigotrails.com/copper-canyon-facts/ Was up bright and early around 5:00 am and was ready to have me some coffee and eggs with toast. But they didn’t start serving until 7:30 am so I went outside of my room and waited for the sun to come up. It was nice and cool and you can hear the people getting ready for the day. The two motel dogs came and visited me I think they also wanted something to eat. So then I got up and took my shower and dress and headed to the dining room I was the first one there. Had my coffee and breakfast and went outside they are going to take us to Copper Canyon for a tour. We all load up about 20 of us most of them are from Mexico no American’s, I ... read more

http://www.chepe.com.mx/ I am so excited that I was not able to sleep last night so I was up by 5:00 am. My bus didn’t leave until 9:00 am so I took my shower and had me eggs and bacon with potatoes and bean with some red hot sauce, with some coffee. My friend woke up and talked to me about what I shouldn’t do and have my things close to me. Also where to stay and what to see and not to go out at night in Guadalajara because I might end up in the wrong place. He also gave me a name of a hotel I should stay at and it’s close to town. The ticket only cost me 497 peso and that only 32.00 dollars so I load the bus and someone had thru ... read more

I was up all night I had Montezuma Revenge sicker than a dog. I was trying to decide if I should come home or keep on going to my next stop Mazatlán. I had some pills that I always take just in case I get sick so I started taking them and by morning I was filling better. I didn't even have breakfast I just stayed in my room until 2:00 pm that is the time they would pick us up and take us to the train. The lady that runs the hotel came out and thank us for stay there I thought that was nice of her. We loaded on the train around 3:00 pm and I just went to sleep and I could smell some thing cooking on the meal care and it was ... read more

Have been recuperating from the past three days of eating and drinking I am tired from all the partying. These people can throw a Fiesta, on the first day was greeting all his friends that came from all over Mexico and the United States. Some of his friend and family came from Mexico City and Michoacán, Denver, El Paso. Everyone came to the house and had chip and salsa and beer and a lot of Tequila and other hard drinks and they stayed up until three in the morning. I and Javier and a few of his friends went to the dance hall to get it ready for that night we have been decorating for a few day it’s been a lot of work. Everything is in the Mexican colors, Red, Green and White and a ... read more

North America » Mexico » Chihuahua » Chihuahua September 7th 2015

Went on a three day trip to pick up a friend from Chihuahua and also to see the site of the city. It was another suicide mission going out there, I almost tore a hole on the seat I was sitting on because of how fast he was going and the road. We made it alive and safe and had to check my underwear when I got to there house. Chihuahua is a big city and the traffic is a disaster. But the city is clean and has a lot of parks and monuments honoring Pancho Villa and Anthony Quinn and other famous people. They also have a few old Churches that are two hundred years old. So I will post a few pictures I hope you enjoy.... read more
