Mayans
Keith, I have been facinated by the Mayans ever since I did a math project on their number system in my senior year in high school. I am really envious that you have had such a wonderful trip. Just stay away from Montezuma. He is up to nothing but bad things. Take care. Love, Sally

Great
Thanks for your story.I´m going back to see more of the Maya wonders in october so your account was very helpful.Greetings from Finland. Timo

Canola
Dear Keith, I don't know how I got onto this site as I am in a computer class in Mildura, Victoria, Australia. I used to sell rape seed, which is another name for canola. The farmers planted it and it was harvested as a sunflower. It is used in a lot of margarine in Australia so I agree with your mother it is used in place of butter. After treatment it tastes OK.

Canola and cinnamon
I vote with cinnamon since I know it's not Canola that is used to make oil. That is a small yellow flowered plant and couldn't make a roll that looks like a stick of cinnamon. I love Mexican hot chocolate since it has a wonderful cinnamon flavor. Your blog is the only one I read. You are a superb writer and photographer. Your love of Mexico shines through all you write and makes me want to go there and I have never thought I wanted to go to Mexico. Do you speak Spanish? I remember so little of what I studied back in 1961 (can you imagine how little that is?) We are doing a blog on our stay in Prague and you might enjoy it if you have time to read with all your wonderful trips.

Canola
Canola is cinnamon.

AND Stay off over - crowded buses!

Great article
This is the first of your writing and pictures that I've looked at. I hope to get this good one day. I'll be back. May I recommend this article on my blog? It's travel but in the USA. There are a few other topics too - an occansional book mention or a recipe. I'm w.maggiegladyoucame.blogspot.com. If I don't hear from you in a couple of days I'll assume that I may refer folks to you - surely that's a good thing. Thanks,

Love Mexico too
Agree with yor impressions of the scary railway. The road down to Batopilas is even better, if you get the chance. Also, Mazetlan and Zacatecas my 2 favouritest paces in Mexico. I'm further south now but on the way back. www.travelblg.org/bloggers/unpaidbill

Met?
Hi Keith, I might have met you while at McMurdo. I was there from Win Fly to part of Main Body and worked with a marine biology dive group. Where are you from? Wanted to let you know I read a page of your jounal. Nice Job.

Pancho Villas
Great blog. Cool that you spoke to the Prez. Pancho's house looks like a place YOU could reside. Sounds like the horse was over the top and scary but when you look back it will seem like a great adventure. Appears you are having a blast. Stay in touch and be SAFE.

Smart move on the snake, Son.
You should show your picture to one of the locals to see if they can identify the snake. He should have a name. I looked up snakes indigenous to the area but this snake looks small in the picture and the only thing I found that looked similar was a type of Boa.

Wonderful photographs
These are beautiful, I especially love the auroras and sunsets - such vibrant colours. Would love to witness them in real life. I think top these, someone would need to write a travelblog from space! Good luck with your travels! :-)

Pictures are so nice!!
