We are on the road for the next 4/5 days and may not have access to the blog but will 'probably' have internet access.Heading west for a few 100 miles on various bus connnections to Morelia and Patzcuaro--land of the Michoacan Indians.
Went to Pozos yesterday (pics in camera), an idle silver mine and what has been a ghost town for the past 100 years. When it was really going there were 100,000 people there. Up until 20 years ago it had maybe 600 but is being steadily re-habited--artsy fartsy and American expats money--could be the next SMA.
Today was what Nancy is calling---another 'ditto' day, everyone of the 20 days we have been here has been-85*-90* and sunny by mid afternoon, going down to 60* over night--it never changes but they say the rainy season coming in a few weeks last a few months.
Adios until the next time.

The top pic is my favourite so far. It's now my desktop wallpaper (bumping off Jerome's shot of mum stalking).
Brucie and Lewis doing well.

Your travels sound amazing! Pictures are very neat....did you guys EAT any of those red peppers...gasp! All well here, off to China next week....! Robert sounding ALIVE and full of spunk!
Brucie,
Hey! Any Polish people where you are? Can't shake them here. They all want to work on their English with me. Good guys.
Have walked over 200 kms and am done. Touristing from now on. Feet can't take the abuse.
Love this country, the people, the towns, the beer. What more do you need?

Brucie:
Have yet to meet any Polish people, actually have met no Irish, German, Italian, British, or Czechs either---In SMA there are many American ExPatriots but outside of here I really have heard the English language spoken very few times. Better put, I only hear Spanish--which I understand very poorly--though learning the key stuff. I think it is as bad as English for different words meaning the same thing--Saniterios, Banios, and/or WC--and in different communities they only know one of thm.
See you next weekend.
