Our around the world trip has finally “started”!!! I quote that because our first stop has been MEXICO for 8 days. We planned on meeting in Mexico with my parents, sister and our brother in law because my sister is there working for a couple of weeks so we could give our farewells to my family. Mexico City I arrived on Sunday, Nov. 8th and Rustin arrived a couple days after me. I spend two fun days with my mom, sister and a couple of very special friends that I have in Mexico. I have to say … It was a [View Full Entry]

Naja, auf gehts! Mein Start war wie immer grandios. Hab irgendwie die Nummer meiner Kreditkarte durcheinander gebracht und prompt war die Karte gesperrt. Immerhin hat der Automat sie nicht einbehalten. In weiser Voraussicht hatte ich dann doch 10 Euro dabei. So konnte ich dann noch ein Taxi nehmen und wenigstens den Flughafen verlassen. Die Stadt war sehr voll, denn zufällig ist grad einer der höchsten Feiertage in Mexiko. El dia do los muertos. Es handelt sich hierbei nicht um einen Trauertag sondern einen Tag der Freude. Dia de los muert [View Full Entry]

Right, sorry about the brashness of this but I've got about twenty minutes on this thing that the hostal claim is a computer to upload some photo's and write something. Right. Where to start. Mexico City has to be the most of it's tits place on planet Earth. Strong words are needed to describe this place so if you're offended by swearing just look at the pictures. My hostal, the Hostal Joven Catedral, is about thirty seconds waklk from the Plaza de la Constitucion, a massive square in the middle of the city bordered on two sides by the cathedral and [View Full Entry]

Hello all and welcome back! To those of you who followed the Ghana chronicles, I hope I can continue to delight and entertain. For any newbies to the blog, a hearty welcome. As some of you might know, I am headed to Mexico this coming Sunday for six weeks in a country that I feel I already know by heart. For the first week I will be seeing the sights of DF (Mexico City, for the layman among us) with two girlfriends from Elon, Becca and Kara. We shall hike up ruins! Traverse cobblestone streets! Step over the threshold of Frida [View Full Entry]

Coming back to the centre of Mexico City after almost five months living in Guadalajara and I can barely even remember what I thought of it the first time round. U guess jet lag and culture/language shock didnt exactly help but I'm pretty sure I didnt think much of it! It's quite nice therefore to be able to see it again, still with fresh eyes but this time less blurred y sleepiness and language difficulties. Now reading guidebooks about Mexico City dont exactly help build up one's confidence about staying here - especially considering I'm a young woman and I'm alone. [View Full Entry]

Fui con un amigo al recorrido dominical en el Centro Histórico. Me encanta Paseo de la Reforma y el centro en bici. Está abierto desde las ocho hasta las dos en la tarde cada domingo. Sitio Oficial. En el último domingo del mes hay un recorrido largo por el sur de la ciudad y en los otros hay un lazo alrededor del Zócalo. [View Full Entry]

Tuli tehtya vahan virhearviointi ja lahdettiin eilen yobussilla Oaxacasta Mexico cityyn. Ajateltiin, etta bussissa voi hyvin nukkua kun ostettiin liput kalleimpaan luksusmalliin, jossa penkit taittuu melkein sangyiksi. Se mita ei tajuttu miettia oli etta sankya voi myos bussissa kayttaa muuhunkin kuin nukkumiseen. Ensimmaiset pari tuntia bussimatkasta meni yokkaillessa takana istuneen pariskunnan hinkatessa toisiaan. Juuri kun ma olin vaipunut jonkinasteiseen horrokseen, pysahdyttiin rajatarkastuspisteessa, jossa kaikki kommennettiin ulos seisomaan kadulle nostetun laukkunsa taakse. Osoitin mi [View Full Entry]
