My butt hurts. Yep, Mexican food finally caught up with me. It took an entire week and a half. Good going really, I thought. It has made it into my bottom five of firsts in Mexico (for the past 24 hours anyway) 5. Loco taxi driver nearly killing ... Read more >

I am job. I mean, burnt. I can't decide whether it is completely awesome because I am finally in warm weather and so the toll of spending hours in the sun, or whether it actually sucks. I guess I'll find out when I wake up tomorrow. I've spent the past ... Read more >

Hurray! I'm not dead. Aren't you lucky? The 'dangers' of Mexico, I'm pleased to report, are all hype (provided you are careful with taxis and have some common sense [oh no. I'm screwed!]). The biggest problem here is that virtually nobody speaks English.... Read more >
