Michoacan
I spent Tuesday strolling around the Rufino Tamayo museum and walking down the endless Avenida Insurgentes for about 3 hours. Dude, that is one long street. Mexico City is a town of such intense opposites, it amazes me again and...Read this update

Veracruz...and goodbye Guatemala
My second and last evening at Uriel's house was very fun. We shared some great music, he gifted me with one of his prints, which I think is fantastic, and we talked with his roomates Polo and Susanita until late...Read this update

no luck this time
Well. It was difficult being stuck on the Quintana Roo coast waiting for a ride. I had hoped to get lucky and catch a boat within two weeks, but those two weeks have come and gone, and I'm faced with...Read this update

Las Islas
After arriving on Isla Mujeres, I spent 3 days roasting in the sun while semi-patiently waiting for a boat to appear that is both headed south and in need of crew. There is no telling really how things will turn...Read this update

Gulf coast, Merida and the Caribbean
The gulf of Mexico`s coast is nothing like the Pacific coast. This probably doesn`t come as a surprise, but the differences are huge. It`s the water itself that makes the impression. The Pacific coast is characterized by savage currents, rough...Read this update

Chiapas
Saludos! I arrived in San Cristobal after 12 hours on the bus driving through more amazing scenery. Given the frequency with which my ears were popping during the last two hours of the ride, I may as well have been...Read this update

Woohooo! I got into town yesterday afternoon and was met at the airport by my lovely globalfreeloaders host Sandra. I was quickly baptized into the D.F. driving culture by fire. I was white knuckling it all day. What lanes, what...Read this update
