New Year and all that
Saturday, January 7th, 2006After my birthday we got a bit of culture in visiting a museum with lovely murals on the ceiling (Gwyn you need to comment what these were and by whom as my memory is shot and it´s all or mostly your fault), before heading off to Puerto Vallarta for New Year.
Lovely mural that is probably more significant than I´m making it sound
Puerto Vallarta was beautiful, a resort town set on the pacific coast with cobbled streets and a big beach, and thanks to the efforts of Sarita and Gwyn we landed ourselves the perfect apartment. We had a long weekend there, celebrating the new year in the company or G & S´s friends, taking in local towns, nice restaurants and even a car repair garage (not part of the plan). One night I even managed to pull a mexican girl, which just goes to show that my spanish must´ve improved a little, though I think I still come across as a retarded child – maybe it was just sympathy!

This last week since coming back from PV has been really nice with Monica and Daniel coming back with us to stay in Guadalajara. The following two photos are of a place we visited on thursday, not far from Guadalajara. Very scenic, very nice, apart from the dead dogs we saw on route!

And so, after a fantastic couple of weeks in the company of Gwyn and Sarita (and friends) I finally had to say goodbye and headed off this morning, before they started charging me rent. I´m now in a place four hours west of Guadalajara called Guanajuato. Lovely.
Sorry if I´ve been a bit vague of late, I was close to giving up this blog nonsense as it was becoming a chore and my memory has taken a set-back of late (!) However, these last few posts bring me up-to-date again. So apologies if they´re lacking in substance, I´ll try to stay on top of it again now and bore you senseless with more regular updates again.
