Real de Catorce (Mexico)

September 28, 2009

real_de_catorce1

Discover an old silver mining town in the Sierra de Catorce mountain range of Mexico. Make sure you bring some warm clothing and heavy boots to explore one of the highest plateaus in Mexico. I explored this region in December and it was downright chilly during the day and "extra blankets" cold during the night. Fascinating to walk around and explore the old abandon … [Read more...] about Real de Catorce (Mexico)

He was the first Mexican Revolutionary General. Pancho Villa Statue in Chihuahua, Mexico. This is a picture of the Generals hacienda in Chihuahua, Mexico. This house is now … [Read more...] about Francisco “Pancho” Villa

If Peyote decides to find you, then you will begin a journey (yes, Peyote finds you, you don't find Peyote). Maybe a nightmare into the door of your soul.Imagine walking around a small Mexican town … [Read more...] about Peyote

Mexico City is a nice place to explore. There are about 20 police officers to each block, so you don't have to worry about much.

Churches everywhere ;-) Weird art too Diego Rivera Murals … [Read more...] about Mexico City (Mexico)

San Cristobal is a rather neat town to visit, even though it is rather chilly. The town kinda reminds me of Antiqua, Guatemala without the volcanos. Its clean and offers plenty of restaurants and some museums that you can walk to. Lots of churches to look at. The streets are clean. Climb the stairs and see the church on top of the hill.   … [Read more...] about San Cristobal (Mexico)

Palenque Ruins (Palenque) Mexico

June 15, 2009

palenqueruins1

Admission price: 45 Pesos (4.50 US dollars) The ruins are excellent and I like the fact that they have these giant plaques with information about each temple that you can read about. I think the thing I enjoyed the most was just walking around in the gorgeous setting. The creek running through the park is just calling for you to strip naked and jump in (just don't get caught … [Read more...] about Palenque Ruins (Palenque) Mexico
