Have just spent 2 days in a lovely little town called Taxco (tas-co). It"s built on a mountain side (lots of exhausting walks about) and it is famous for its silver. There were squillions of shops selling lovely jewellery and I"m pleased to say that I managed to avoid temptation!

More yummy things to eat. I had an interesting soup yesterday which was made from chicken, with all these weird white things that I though might be some sort of cartilidge (sp?)but actually turned out to be some sort of maize or corn. Then it had half an avacado sliced on the top of it and loads of pork scratchings! Weird.

My original itinery is changing quite a lot cos of all the crazy weather here. Don"t worry- I"m keeping well away from all hurricanes! Wish all the rain would stop though!

Hiya! I'm leaving on August the 20th to hopefully find some sun, see some sights, make new friends, eat some yummy food, learn a bit of Spanish and have lots of adventures along the way. My itinery at the moment (obviously subject to change!) is to spend 10 months travelling through Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina and Brazil. Phew, I'm exhausted (and a bit scared!) thinking about it! Hope you enjoy my blog (wow, I never thought I'd say that, I feel like such a geek)! Take care!... full info
