Don't have time to say much, but i'll update on our day in Guadalajara soon, lots of new pictures on the blog though! Enjoy! OK, so Guadalajara was more than just a day really, we left Sayulita at about 9pm Saturday night and got a ride from Chantel to San Fransisco (8 mins north of Sayu) we caught a bus north up to San Penta (sp?) and here we wandered the town, bought an Agua Fresca and checked out the strip. I bought another beer whilst jord was attacked by his own stomach. Will post a picture of him in the bus station toilete. Oh the aftermath. Caught a 12:15 bus to Guad. and arrived there at 3:54 AM. That sucked. Actually it was 4:54 with the time change. Waited in the bus station half asleep ... read more

So I had to spend a couple more days at Barre de Navidad than I’d planned to, quarantining myself in my hotel with the shits but it soon passed and I made my way to Guadalajara. You know when I said Mexico City rocked? I think I must’ve meant this badboy! I just had an unbelievably cool week there. The city’s quite modern and alive with music; during the day you can hear it coming from every shop, car and plaza but the place is something else after dark. There’s a couple of hundred thousand students too, so there's plenty of energy around. Found incredible live music almost every night I was there, from Barrio Zumba (a crazy four-piece Manu Chao-esque outfit) to Brazilian reggae to Cuban salsa. I even went to see Israel’s most popular ... read more

Willkommen im neuen Leben: Nach einem langen Flug und Hoellenverspaetung bin ich endlich in Mexiko City, ein Haeusermeer - aus dem Flugzeug betrachtet. Nachdem ich mich durch den Flughafen gekaempft hatte und mit schlechtem Spanisch einen Ersatzflug nach Guadalajara (Gdl) ergattern konnte, konnte ich mich mich entspannter zuruecklehnen und den ersten Eindruck von America latina aufnehmen. Es ist laut und geschaeftig, ueberall wird irgendetwas verkauft, man sieht unglaublich viele VW-Kaefer und es gibt viele Kinder. Dennoch ist die Flughafengegend in Mexiko nicht der beste Ort, um alleine auf Erkundungstrip zu gehen. Eine nette Mexikanerin hat mich mit entsetztem Blick (bist du alleine unterwegs???) wieder in die Zollzone gelotst, wo ich sicherer aufgehoben war. Abends bin ich dann voellig erschoepft in meinem neuen Zuhause in Colonia Chapalita angekommen, wo ich nun mit einer mexikanisc... read more

My Very First Blog Entry Today the first real day for David. We both attended the USD - ITESO orientation. This year there are 238 studnets particpating in the program. David has a total of 25 students between the two classes (Comparative and Mexican Politics). The ITESO campus is absolutely incredible. There is an incredibile amount of trees on the campus and so it is noticably cooler because of all of the shade that surrounds the building. David and I found our own little apartment. So we are so excited because it is nearly half the cost of the hotel options. Moreover, it has its own beautiful patio and is off a quiet street. It's also two blocks from the Centro Magno - where you can see movies for $5 per person and get large ... read more
