It seems that I am caught in a very strange time warp. First, I can't believe I have only been here three weeks - it feels like a lot longer than that. Not that I am bored - anything but - it's just that I am very comfortable in my routine, meet and ... Read more >

My first night in Puebla, I arrived after dark, and wasn't really interested in doing much exploring after 36 hours of travel. So a beer in the rooftop bar at the NH was in order. After a nap, a little dinner in the restaurant, which was outstanding.... Read more >

So first, as always, a geography lesson. Puebla, Mexico is about 2 hours by a very comfortable bus trip south east of Mexico City, between Mexico City and Veracruz. The city of Puebla is the 4th largest city in Mexico, and sits at an elevation of about ... Read more >

Since Sunday night, I've been part of a tour organized by ZunZun Educational Tours, a Cuban/Canadian company based in Vancouver. Not having been part of an organized and excorted tour before (at least not for more than 1 - 2 days), I really had no idea ... Read more >

I like the shock of arriving somewhere new with few if any plans, and little if any idea of what will happen next. The routine is always the same: For the first 24 hours hours, recover from the travel, try to find something to eat or at least a decent ... Read more >

Well here we go again! It has been way too long since I've had a chance to reflect, write a bit, and travel somewhere new. I've been a few places since Argentina. Interesting places. I drove across Canada in Casey the Camper for Canada Day in Ottawa, ... Read more >

2250 kms so far on the trip to Ottawa. Probably 600 kms more than necessary, but whatever. In any case, I've arrived in Saskatoon, and am hanging out at the Travelodge. Casey and I are fine, but I needed a shower, a little TV, a soft bed (sorry Casey), ... Read more >

Well, I was a little disappointed to leave BsAs, but this is a big country with lots of other shiny things to play with. I arrived in Mendoza Sunday, took a look around, and promptly developed a lousy attitude. It was just a bit of a shock: think going ... Read more >

I am writing today from Mendoza City, the capital of the province where Argentinian wine comes from. Also home of Anacuanga (sp? but I don´t feel like looking it up), king of the mountains in the Americas at about 7,000 metres. Sounds like a big ass ... Read more >
