Sorry for the gap between posts. This has been caused by a variety of factors (including incredibly expensive internet cafes in the USA), but now I have a few minutes on a free public library pc so will attempt to give you a brief resume of our last few days.
You last heard from us in Ecuador, where we spent a couple of days before having to head back to Lima to catch a plane to Mexico. Well, we got back to our hostel in Lima at about midnight and promptly decided to celebrate my birthday by drinking half a bottle of some $3 Ecuadorian moonshine. As you can imagine it got fairly raucous, but a good time was had by all. Until we had to get up at 7am to get the taxi to the airport. Then Mexico City...
Our hostel, though in a great location for sightseeing, was also right behind several bars that prided themselves on their nightly live bands. Trust me, until you've heard The Smiths covered by a Spanish speaking band, you haven't lived. Luckily Jo & I still had our earplugs and managed to get some sleep, despite our mattresses being inflatable & our pillows giving us coughing and sneezing fits. And we discovered that you cannot get a decent margarita for love nor money in Mexico, although we did have the most fantastic meal to celebrate my birthday properly (but of course!).
Gotta dash 'cos you only get a few minutes on these machines, but will try to update soon with tales of New Orleans...
lots of love
S & J
