Alright so it's offically been a day over a week in Mexico, and I'm sorry for no pictures or videos yet, i'm still working on it. So an overview of what's been going on and what not. Day one: I arrive in Monterrey from my flights having met about 5 people in my program, who all seemed and are very nice and awesome. We were driven to Tec (Tecnológico de Monterrey) and got our welcome packets which came in some very cool mexican blanket bags. We then signed in and they called our host families. It took a while for my host dad to pick me up because he came about right when i got there and they told him that i had not arrived yet. 8) Can you believe it how do you miss me, ... read more

Arrival in Mexico, Monterrey. 7th July-11th July We packed up our camp in San Antonio and had breakfast at the Chuckwagon. Appropiately as we were off to Mexico we had tacos. We were both feeling a bit nervous as we boarded the bus that would take us over the border and into Mexico. Neither of us could speak much Spanish and we didn't really know what to expect of Mexico. This was really going to test us out as travellers. As we arrived in the border town of Loredo it was raining hard and as we exited the bus to report to customs, Richard slipped on the wet bus steps and landed on his bum on the road beneath. Hola Mexico! The customs officials took our money, filled in a form and gave us our visas. ... read more

Monterrey, Mexico. I forgot my camera the one day I was there so these photos are courtesy of TJ Joyce, a guy from Austin I met here and traveled to Real de Catorce with. We saw a AAA Legue baseball game. There was a power outage and a bench clearing brawl. It was a great time.... read more

Hello everyone!!! Very sorry that we haven't updated in such a long time; we either haven't had access to a computer, or it's been ridiculously expensive to go on the internet. Anyway, where we last left off, we were both rather unwell and on our last week of teaching in Cuzco. That was nearly a month ago, so we'll blast our way through the last few weeks in this update. Leaving the schools was pretty emotional as we had both grown very attached to the kids. We went to Elim (the boys school) in the morning and played some games with the boys, who then presented us with friendship bracelets they had made to thank us for our work. In the afternoon, Alex went to Seeds Of Hope (Charlie stayed in to rest) where they went ... read more

Our bags barely touched the ground in Tumbes as three charming and seemingly helpful guys loaded the four of us (& bags!) into the back of their five-seater car while they all squished into the front!! Ten minutes later we find ourselves in a locked car park in the (seemingly lawless) no man's land between Peru & Ecuador! The three men were now threatening us and asking for USD$35 each! At first they wouldn't even let us out of the car bit we forced our way eventually. They then stood in front of the boot, but Heloise surreptitiously sneaked our bags over the back seat while they all ranted at the rest of us with increasing aggression. We stormed over to the car park gate where we were confronted by a corrupt security guard who wouldn't ... read more
