A hurricane is about to hit Cuba tonight. Its pretty blustery here on Isla Mujeres off the Mexican coast, but at least its warm here after the cool weaher in NewYork. We are staying in a hostel on the beachfront which is near all the amenities. Its bright and colourful here and very chilled. We Read More »
The joys of having a blueyonder email account. Sometimes it works in Mexico and sometimes it doesn`t – at the moment it´s the latter. So although we´d love to email we can´t. It´s very frustrating!!!
Friday night Matt and I went to the movies and like always in the States we spent $20.

Take the most twisty road on the Blue Ridge Pkwy, multiply by 10…hairpin turn after hairpin turn…then just for fun throw in 200…yes,200!…SPEED BUMPS in a 280 km trip. So basically, it was speed up, slow down for hairpin turn, speed up, come to Read More »
the twelve million year old Sumidero Canyon. The 3,000 foot high, 20 mile long canyon, now part of a national park, is truly spectacular. During a two hour boat ride we visited Vulture Island, so called because of the large number of black carrion birds hanging out or hovering overhead. En route, we observed cormorants, Read More »
