Paradise within reach
2009-03-03, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. By: dwilkows

If you haven't been to Puerto Vallarta on the west coast of Mexico, the Mexican Riveria, you should remedy that situation. It is closer than Hawaii and less expensive. The entire region is geared to m...

2008-12-08, Isla Mujeres, Mexico. By: fidgi

I’ve got to the stage in my travels now where living out of a back-pack is absolutely driving me nuts. Therefore before I write any more tonight I’m just going to vent my spleen about that! I think...

My thoughts move from Mexico to Mumbai for a moment
2008-11-30, La Paz, Mexico. By: fidgi

I don’t think I can post anything else until I take a bit of a detour from Mexico and write something about how sickened and sad I feel to learn about what has just happened in Mumbai. Back from the ...

End of the semester, visit to Costa Rica, and Thanksgiving
2008-11-28, Monterrey, Mexico. By: DaniGurl2

Wow! It's been a while since my last update, but as always, the end of the semester has been full of projects, presentations, and exams. I'm happy to say however that I took my last exam today. The se...

Chichen Itza and changing itineraries...
2008-11-26, Merida, Mexico. By: fidgi

OK, well quite a lot has changed since my last entry and the part of my brain that deals with planning and making choices has been working overtime. However, I’ve now made a decision that I’m really ...

Contented in Campeche...
2008-11-23, Campeche, Mexico. By: fidgi

Passing the time in Palenque (and musing in general on Mexico)...
2008-11-22, Palenque, Mexico. By: fidgi

Well, it turns out I now have 7 hours to kill in Palenque – a town which, once you’ve seen the famous ruins, doesn’t seem to have a whole lot else going on for it (incidentally, and somewhat peculiarl...

2008-11-19, San Cristobal de Las Casas, Mexico. By: fidgi

Brrr, well, if there’s one word to describe Chiapas (the state I’m now in) it’s chilly, and I’m writing this sat on the bed in my hotel room with all the spare blankets laid over my knees like a littl...

With an 11 hour overnight coach journey ahead of me (this time I have 3 layers on and my sleeping bag at hand so I should be a bit cosier!), I’m now ready to write up about my last couple of days in O...

Shaken (but not deterred)....
2008-11-15, Oaxaca, Mexico. By: fidgi

Uh-oh, part of me doesn’t want to write about this but, at the same time, I can’t describe my day without making reference to it. In fact, I’m still shaking a bit, so I can’t ignore it… I’m afraid I...

2008-11-13, Puerto Escondido, Mexico. By: fidgi

Just a quick entry today as I prepare to move on yet again from Puerto Escondido to Oaxaca (I think I might revise some of my plans and stay in places a little longer in the future – it’s such a pain ...

2008-11-10, Monterrey, Mexico. By: DaniGurl2

After two long weeks... I'm back! I hope you all are well. As you can probably guess, I've had a lot going on over the last few weeks. We officially have just 3 weeks left in the semester so I've been...

From grim Guadalajara to the beauty of Barra - with some trials and tribulations en route...
2008-11-08, Barra de Navidad, Mexico. By: fidgi

I now am in a truly blissful location – Barra De Navidad. It's a small, modest Mexican family beach resort surrounded by palms and, further off, by more of the densely verdant hills that I last saw t...

2008-11-06, Tequila, Mexico. By: fidgi

Well, I hope that this entry comes out alright because I’m writing it shortly after travelling to Tequila, and doing a tour of ‘Mundo Cuervo’ – the museum of the famous Jose Cuervo tequila distillery....

Unusual ice-creams and unwanted attention
2008-11-05, Guanajuato, Mexico. By: fidgi

I’m now heading on from Guanajuato to Guadalajara, having, I think, squeezed pretty much all I could out of my last destination (given the circumstances, as I will come to explain!). Although the nam...

Oh Christ, was it worth it (ouch - mis pompis!)?
2008-11-03, Guanajuato, Mexico. By: fidgi

The title of today’s entry will make sense as you read further along. ‘Pompis’ basically mean, well, buttocks (one of those funny words I remember clearly from Paco’s lesson on body parts) and mine a...

Dia De Los Muertos in Michoacan
2008-11-02, Morelia, Mexico. By: fidgi

Another bus journey (on from Morelia to Guanajuato now) and the only fly in the ointment on this 4-hour ride (again with fully reclining seats and free little drinks and snacks) seems to be a burly lo...

A few little shots of a GREAT place
2008-11-01, Cozumel, Mexico. By: hankster

OK, Just a few pics of one of my favorite places, Cozumel! This HAS to be the place that Jimmie Buffett had in mind when he said, changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes. Still my favorite though...

Buses that get better and better (but sad to be leaving D.F.)
2008-10-31, Distrito Federal, Mexico. By: fidgi

The bus to Morelia seems as good a place as any to do some writing and to kill some time on a journey that I think is going to take about 5 hours. If I thought the bus from Mexico City’s airport to C...

2008-10-30, Distrito Federal, Mexico. By: fidgi

Well, I’m happy to report, on this sunny Thursday afternoon, that Mexico City does have some nicer parts, and that I have had some more pleasant and less dodgy times here! I’m aware that Monday’s ent...

A bit of a dud day, but with some interesting diversions...
2008-10-27, Distrito Federal, Mexico. By: fidgi

I’ve got to be honest – today has been nothing short of depressing. The sun seems to have gone into hiding here in Mexico City and the sky has been heavy with thick grey clouds, occasionally breaking...

Masochism on the metro and social stratification in the city
2008-10-26, Distrito Federal, Mexico. By: Fidgi

I’ve spent just over 24 hours in Mexico City and, although I reckon I’ve only covered the merest smudge of this vast metropolis, I feel pretty gobsmacked by what I’ve encountered already. London seem...

Adios Tepoztlan..
2008-10-25, Distrito Federal, Mexico. By: Fidgi

I’m now on the bus, writing this in a wobbly way (both literally and figuratively) as I leave Tepoztlan and head back to Mexico City. I say ‘wobbly’ because I really do feel quite emotional about lea...
