So, I made it safely to Puerto Vallarta. Wendy and I rode took a cab with Nori and Danny, who were traveling to Mexico City to retrieve Dannys car and Noris passport and visa, both of which were stolen on a subsequent Tequila tour and found by the Mexican Police in Mexico City that night. The bus ride was about 6 hours and we took Primera Plus. I had bought a headphone splitter (7 pesos) and headphones (90 pesos) the day before, so we could listen to music on her MP3 player. The mexican countryside was gorgeous, once we finally escaped Guadalajara traffic. This country isn{t built for highways. Anyway, amazing. Mountains, beautiful weather, agave plantations, little towns here and there... The last couple hours of the drive it was raining, as it apparently does every ... read more

OK, so we left off at Christmas night. The next day I had planned to hit Tonola and Tlaquepaque but we were offered a ride to Lake Chapala by Danny from Mexico City (here they just say I´m from Mexico and it´s assumed that they mean Mexico City or DF) After I went to the bus station agani to look for my journal (no dice) and bought a shirt and a belt from various street vendors, I returned to the hostel. Then, a few of us... Paulina, Wendy, this guy Martin who was from somewhere in Europe.... I forget. Gah! Anyway... hopped in the mid 90´s ¨VW golf and raced on down to Chapala. There is a town, Ajijic that is also on the lake, but it was further away, so we went to Chapala. It ... read more

I had a week off from work so I decided to escape the wind and fog of San Francisco and get some sun. My lack of planning led me to Mexico City. It's warm, it's cheap, I know a bit of Spanish - what more do I need? I had an amazing time in Mexico City! I met so many fascinating people - let's see if I can remember them all. There was Ivan, who lives in Mexico City. We met up one night for beers and swapping stories. Ivan brought along his German friend (whose name escapes me). This German dude has been bicycling through Central America for 2 years! Cycling - with a bicycle! He's on his way to Vegas where he's meeting up with some friends in March. Unbelievable! He had such incredible ... read more

Ok, so as mentioned before, most of our time was directed to some party stuff. well here is the proof. not that we need proof, but they are the funniest of all pictures. most clubs were quite ... how to say ... lame? poser? surfer? boaring! yes, thats the one, they were just as boaring as listeing a tennis match on the radio. There were 2 exceptions: 1) babylon house, a place full of books, chess and bakggamon (spelt like this). there were live shows every night, one night they even tried quite succesfully with flamenco. it was all good untill a horrible woman took over this pretty girl dancing, and started beating the floor with her shoes just as if she stepped on a bee hive. it made my blood heat, if you slit right ... read more
