Good work to get Anna a passport so fast.

Can you see if you can find a sharp ExpII when you are there because the one you have feels a little blury.

Have fun my friend.

The words 'diet' and 'mexican food' can not be put in the same sentence. Nor paragraph. Nor page. Nor....well, you know.

The food looks good but you should have asked them to filter the water, it looks somewhat tainted...

Be careful what you eat.

A few years ago, my wife and I went on a cruise from the UK around the Americas and we called in on some Mexican ports. We were advised to be very careful in eating the local food and sure enough, a high proportion of the cruise passengers spent the next day sitting on the WC and howling at the moon.

I would not wish you to suffer the same indignity.

Regards

Mick

Lucky you, Paul. I'm in Melbourne for the first time since 1992 and all I've seen is my hotel and counsel's chambers! I hope to have tomorrow to myself before flying home in the evening.

Safe travels

Ruud! We have talked about this before, really, the best thing for you to do is plead guilty; I am sure you'll be awarded bail and will have some time to enjoy the city before... Well, before.

To all of you that are warning me about the food, and other things. I thank you for your concern I grew up in Mexico, at least during my teenage years. I speak the language (heavily gringoed albeit) understand the culture and the food. Besides, I can't go to a different country and not sample the local quisine, like some people that travel abroad and eat at McDonald's
