so here we are, in the legendary Zihuatanejo. you may remember it from such films as the shawshank redemption. you know, where he goes at the end. i apologize if i am spoiling the end of that movie for anyone, but seriosuly, if you havent seen it, you´re probably a cinematic idiot anyway. no offence. yesterday we drove from puerto escondido to a little place called pie de la cuesta. its just laittle ways north of acapulco. acapulco was really hard to drive through and the outskits were pretty dirty. the center looked a lot like LA, complete with drug violence. pie de la cuesta was a lot quiter and relaxing. brendna got kinda sick though and he puked up his dinner. in the meantime, i hung out with a montreal couple and some guys from ... read more

hello gang. if you have forgotten how to see my pictures, i´ll post the address again. even though i know its listen below. the address is www.flickr.com/photos/jondiscovery i say this because it takes so bloody long to upload these things that people better be looking at them. seriously, it takes like 20 minutes to upload 5 pictures. its really annoying. i´ll put more on when i get home and have lots of time. but theres at least 15 new now. i am in san cristobal de las casas. its a pretty nice little town. we drove from chetumal to palenque. unfortunately, we didnt have much time there but we had a nice cabana in the jungle and saw a bit of the ruins before they closed and kicked us out. we also ran into freddie from ... read more

to steal another line from aaron "you better belize it!" we're in caye caulker in belize right now which is a welcome and relaxing change. not that costal mexico was in any way hectic, but i like it here. last i wrote, i think i was in playa del carmen maybe? i dunno. maybe isla muejres. in any case, we went to playa del carmen and it was gross. the beach was nice, but the hostel was kinda crap and the main drag is almost worse tourist wise than cancun. the next day we headed to tullum with our full car. brendan and i, also maarten and rene from hollan and belkis from venezuela. we spent 3 nights in cabans on the beach. it was a lovely time, though i managed to get pretty badly sunburnt. ... read more

well in cancun now. not sure what to think. the roads coming in have been pretty bad actualy. in town its alright though. we hung out in campeche for a couple days and then moved down the road to valladolid. a nice small town, which was a nice change of pace from the cities we´ve been in. the hostel was great. we also met up with a canadian couple we´d met a couple days before in campeche. the area around the town was surround by cennotes, which are pool of water in cavenrs that lead to undergçround rivers. i got some good pitures and i´ll post a few soon enough. we visted 3. i swam in one. it was quite nice. full of weird little fish. we also went to chetchen itza. it was nice but ... read more

well here we are again. sinc ei last wrote i think we were in monterrey. that was quite a bit of fun, but we had to move on so we hit the open road. driving in mexico does take alot of attention and can be exausting but we´re doign alright. which is to say brendan is doing alright, as i´m far to petrified to drive. we made it to ciudad victoria the first night. didnt do much there. just got some food and watched the super bowl in spanish. the next day (yesterday) we drove all day. we skipped over tampico..or tried to. we got lost in a little village for a while. we wanted to make it to el tajin runis but it was too late by the tiem we rolled b, so we continued ... read more
