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
The Rejected Reservation
Howdy folks and I hope your first attempt at the New Year has proved successful. Whatever that means. Sharon and I left for Mexico City at WAY too early of an hour. And this was after a short rest from a 14 hour drive from Tennessee. Not complaining, just a Continue Reading
Motorcycle To Hell
Tuesday: Dia de los MuertosFirst off, it’s hot as pizza cheese down here. I think I burned the roof of my mouth just walking back to my room. Also, surprisingly, the food in this city is one star at best; predominately no star. That aside it has been a fantastic Continue Reading
Solo in Brujo Country
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
Then The Power Went Out
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
No Can Do, Padre
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
Subway Pros
Mexico City, day one and two. We landed yesterday about 3pm. A lot of walking is standard operating procedure in Benito Juarez International Airport. Eventually we found the shuttle to our hotel. We booked one near the airport. That may sound crazy but for Mexico City this is SO convenient. Continue Reading
Killer Ants
We started the day (yesterday – Tuesday) with the standard lame hostel breakfast. We decided to then seek out a couple of adventure spots. The closest, Tenejapa, was just over the nearest mountain. Piece-o-cake. Who ever got the contract to proof the Mexico maps must have quit some time ago. Continue Reading
Herbs, Eggs and Other Tools
Hey… What a day. I’ve seized control of the laptop back from Sharon. It’s Monday. No Friends with benefits today. I’m writing this a bit early because there’s not much else to do. That’s due to the fact that we’re in the middle of a tropical storm. But we were prepared; a Continue Reading
A Post By Sharon
Ok, Sharon here. I’m in charge tonight. It’s Sunday. What a day. We started at the peoples market. The first thing we saw were hanging chickens. Really! A bicycle adorned with hanging live chickens. Don’t know if they were going to market or if they were a to-go order but Continue Reading
