Hey! I am in Mexico City!!!!

Great food, pretty girls, excellent culture, weather is perfect (I spent all morning walking around, talking to shop keepers with my Gringo-accented Spanish), Even though it's a work trip, have a lot of leisure time for shopping and sight seeing.....


Damm the bad luck!!!!!

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
