Day 5 7/2/12Oh, yeah… we were in Cuernavaca.  Last night, outside our window, we heard a sultry saxophone playing rico swave jazz.  That’s where we headed for fresh brewed coffee and a very nice breakfast this morning.  Kind of drippy wet place, (in a nice way), plants, fountains, and no Sanka.

***WARNING ***  PARENTAL SUCH-N-SUCH***This was written a bit tipsy by all parties concerned.  But too good to edit. Day 1 6/28/12We arrived at the airport at one-ish for the flight to Toluca, MX.  An uneventful flight except for the free scotch.  Did you catch that?  Free Dewars! Southwest airlines ain’t got nuthin’ Continue Reading

So where we ended up was pretty much all over the place. San Angel is a lovely barrio of cobble streets, uber-expensive massive homes behind thick rock walls. The walking continued… We decided to eat and stopped and a fancy shmansy Italian restaurant on Reforma Blvd. Wine and pasta and Continue Reading

We went to Xochimilco on Monday. This requires a number of subway changes and a trip to the end of a “new” train line. Gotta love Mexico City for the simple fact that you can go anywhere for cheap. This is especially important to us because we get lost a Continue Reading

Hola amigos y amigas, Donnie here, deep in Mexico once again. Unfortunately I’m flying solo on this trip. The hot wife couldn’t fit me into her schedule and those with a desire but no passport didn’t qualify. My TWO friends with a passport decided I was too dangerous to be Continue Reading

Ok folks. I must admit that my newest favorite vice is cuitlacoche: black fungus that grows on ears of corn prior to harvest. Mmmmm. Last year it was seasoned grasshoppers in Oaxaca but them little grass munchers don’t stand a chance against fungus. Dinner was thin strips of chicken breast rolled up, stuffed with goat cheese and cuitlacoche in Continue Reading

MexicoCity has proven to be the ying and yang of hispanic culture. Most of today was a good day, nor was it our best. There was definitely a portion that really pissed me off. Early this morning we hailed a cab and went to La Guadalupana, La Basillica deGuadalupe or Continue Reading
