Thursday, we went back down to Columbus flea market as that is normally their busy day. I had to help push some guys car out as we were walking in as it was ice and snow everywhere. Even the stall holders were shovelling ice out around their little sites. There were heaps of people there. Josh and I bought gloves for $1 on the way in, best buy of the day. Bought some more cheap suitcases. Had lunch down there, kebabs on a bbq in the freezing weather. At night we went over to Barbara's (Christa's daughter ) where they all [View Full Entry]

San Juan Chamula, CHIAPAS. North America » Mexico » Chiapas » Chamula

San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas, a 27 de octubre del 2009. Saludos a todos. Ahí les mando unas fotos del famoso pueblo de San Juan Chamula (a cada rato es noticia en los medios nacionales, y nunca por razones alegres), visita casi obligada si uno anda por estos rumbos y quiere tratar de entender un poquito más a nuestro complicado país. Se suponía que el recorrido del pasado viernes terminaría en Acteal, pero elegí mal la ruta (hasta el sábado logré tal cometido). Por lo poco visto y oído en estos días y anteriormente, aunado a lo poco leído sobre [View Full Entry]

Comitán, CHIAPAS. North America » Mexico » Chiapas » Comitán de Domínguez

San Cristobal de las Casas, a 23 de octubre del 2009. Saludos. Ahí les van unas fotos de la ciudad de Comitán, ubicada en la zona montañosa del Estado, cerca de la frontera con Guatemala. Con sus 80 mil almas es la cuarta ciudad más grande del Estado, y si mi mala memoria no me falla, recuerdo que dos de las familias de ustedes tienen casa en esta ciudad. A diferencia de Palenque, Tapachula y, según me han dicho, Tuxtla, aquí el clima es muy fresco y la vegetación es boscosa (bueno, la poca vegetación que le queda a Chiapas), así [View Full Entry]

Morelia, MICHOACÁN. North America » Mexico » Michoacán » Morelia

Culiacàn, Sinaloa, a 5 de diciembre del 2009. Saludos por enèsima ocasiòn. Ahì les van unas fotos de Morelia, Michoacàn. Como ya la conocen pues no hay mucho que decir. Durante principios de la colonia la principal ciudad michoacana era Pàtzcuaro, a cargo de Vasco de Quiroga, pero como se hizo de muchos enemigos españoles, varios de ellos abandonaron la ciudad y fundaron una nueva (con permiso del Virrey, claro) que a la postre se convertirìa en Valladolid y, tras la independencia, en Morelia, por ser el lugar de nacimiento del ejemplo de mexicano que es Josè Ma. Morelos. Ahì les [View Full Entry]

Culiacàn, Sinaloa, a 5 de diciembre del 2009. Saludos a todos. Entre corajes y tristezas por haber perdido la mitad de las fotografìas por un maldito virus, ahì les van fotos (se salvaron de ser borradas) de Pàtzcuaro, Michoacàn, uno de los 3 "pueblos màgicos" de Michoacàn nombrados por la SECTUR, y que se encuentra a la orilla del lago del mismo nombre. Asì como Izamal, Yucatàn, se distinguìa por tener la totalidad de los edificios de su centro històrico pintados de amarillo, aquì manda la combinaciòn bicolor blanco-rojo (o rojo tiràndole a guinda), con techos de teja. La ciudad es [View Full Entry]

Tepic, Nayarit, a 30 de noviembre del 2009. Saludos a toda la family (otra vez). Ahì les van fotos de otro sitio arqueològico prehispànico y tambièn Patrimonio de la Humanidad de la UNESCO, Xochicalco, localizado al sur de Cuernavaca, Morelos. Se ubica sobre un cerro en el cual cortaron terrazas, sobre las cuales se construyeron las piràmides, templos y edificios. Xochicalco significa "casa de las flores", y la verdad que, a pesar de ser otoño, hay mucho àrbol con flores. Asì como en Uxmal los chillidos de murcièlago acompañan a quien camine junto a las paredes de los edificios [View Full Entry]

New Year's Eve North America » United States » South Carolina

Getting tropical

33 11.561 N 79 16.328 W That's insider talk for Minim Creek East, South Carolina, AKA ICW mile 416. There wasn't as much time to blog at Carolina Beach, NC as we had hoped! In fact, there wasn't any after the dynamic people on Pleasure Island kept us hopping. Fortunately with all the attention (and dinners) Frank did major healing and now we're back on course, with lots of help from 2 new friends and experienced sailors, Paul and Dawn. 'Twas very hard to say good-bye after 3 weeks as we cast off on Tuesday. Making about 60 ICW miles per [View Full Entry]

Had an awesome lunch at a new restraunt and I can't remember the name!!! Argh!

I'm Indy States. North America » United States » Indiana » Indianapolis

This is just a little blog to a) practise using this site, b) electronically start my trip in 2009 which seems to be advantageous somehow, and c) get my friends and family to subscribe to my blog now while they can still remember who I am. After a lovely send-off from Goga, Anna and Masha at passport control, I proceeded through Security. It went pretty quickly considering there was supposed to be extra security after the attempted bombing on a Christmas day transatlantic flight - or so I thought. I arrived at the gate in plenty of time...to queue for another [View Full Entry]

Getting Ready to Head Out... North America » Canada » Ontario » Burlington

Last Day of 2009. Holy Cow! I haven't been blogging for a couple of weeks because the holiday and pre-trip season has been quite busy! Christmas was wonderful - with the chance to spend lots of time with family. It has been a long time since I have lived at home. When I moved out for University in September 2003, I have never been home for more than a week or two... with summer travel, camp jobs, or working away. It's a nice change of pace and my Mom and Dad have been instrumentally helpful in these last few weeks - [View Full Entry]
