Another 7am begin for our five hour transport to Oaxaca. I have envisioned of coming here for year!. Oaxaca is popular for cheese, coffee, chocolate and dry simmered grasshoppers called 'Chapulines'. Oaxaca and Chiapas have the biggest Indian communities in Mexico. We arrived at 2pm, did a brief introduction walk around the city and after that I went shopping.

Dear All After a great start in Hollywood, I enjoyed my second day exploring more of Los Angeles. As mentioned in my previous, there is quite a lot to see in this big city, so I had to narrow my sightseeing down. I focused on seeing the places which are etched into my mind, and make me think of Los Angeles. The kinds of places that I'd seen on film or TV, but wanted to see for myself that they existed. One of these places I decided to explore on this second day, and that was Santa Monica!

They´re a bit pricier but I thought the comfort was worth it. But on the way to the airplane terminal we got ceased by Mexican police.

Two policemen afterward and twenty minutes sitting within the car, I ... read more

My most recent Mexican visit begun nowadays. The taxi driver said the lodging was terrible and after the inn Crevice stuck us in, my desires were moo. But the inn finished up being truly decent. So I'm considering the rest of the inns will be of a conventional quality as well.

There are 24 on the visit and the lion's share of us are Australians, for the most part couples or bunches, but there's another single female voyager like myself who has fair wrapped up South America. The rest are from the UK and four are from other European nations. The larger ... read more

Dear All Yay! California, here I am! I write at the beginning of another two-week adventure through one of my favourite countries - the US of A! This trip was actually four years in the planning, as along with South Africa last summer, this one was also delayed from four years ago due to the world having gone crazy at the time. For my first US trip after that time, I wanted to go to the closest US place to the UK as I could, just in case, and thus I did New England over Easter 2022. And last year I just had to visit my TB friends Merry Jo and Dave for a wonderful time in Florida over Easter 2023. So this year, Easter 2024, I began California! The flight over was good, if a ... read more
