US’s War on Tourists, Mexican war on trees…

Hello to anyone surfing by thanks to the link in Mumpsimus Forum. Thought you might like the phone number for the Columpio place, if so click on the picture for a larger version: Also feel free to comment away or shove yourself on the guestmap… The entry on our weekend to Tequila is either at the bottom of the page or following this link. Enjoy 🙂

Last night Jose and me went to see the late showing of V for Vendetta (V de Venganza) and it was brilliant. Eyes right for a review sometime today. That’s all for now, off to chambear (work) to see if the internet’s back there or not… It’s something of an inconvenience for web design and historical research when you can’t connect to teh intarwebs.

I just got back late last night from a week or so in the UK. Normal blog service will be returning in the next few days along with photos, film & book reviews and selected anecdotes from the last few days.

Cheers,

I promised to take Sita to the charreria before we left the city, but in the end she couldn’t make it and I went on me own with my trusty camera and zoom lense. I’ve nothing more to add really to my last post about it when I went with Anne and Stu. I took 297 photos in 2 hours and then cherry picked the best 50 which are now over at Flickr… Best entertainment 1 pound 30p can buy you, I reckon.

This photo’s from one of the first events, where the charro has to gallop at full speed then do an emergency stop when the instructor taps his notebook on the dashboard within a chalked area. Then they measure the stopping distance. The shortest wins the charro a round of applause.

I start my photojournalism course today. I’m going to be networking to try and get some kind of press credential too… I might resend that email to the Gazette to another desk there as the sports people are too busy attending skittles and Great Mills League football matches to reply.

Had a nice soirée round Javier’s yesterday too, he lives in one of my favourite areas of Gwod (well, Zapopan technically) called Seattle and met a couple of new peeps. One of whom might want a website for their ecotourism business.

‘I don’t like Monday 24 January’

Oy, oy. We’re heading up the 5 to Oakland and nipping past where we got married 3 years ago to see if the weather’s improved at all in the intervening years… Asparagus and co are staying with the grandparents though. He refuses to eat breakfast unless he gets a fried egg mixed in these days, which can’t be right, if you ask me. We’ll be staying with Monica & Daniel and I might manage an update or two.

Sita’s on a girly wine tasting tour manana, I’ll be on a blokes’ day in working out the wedding settings on me new gadgets. My PDA spluttered to life a couple of days ago, but it’s on the blink again. I’ve worked out what’s wrong, the security setttings (thanks to google), so I should be scrabbling ™ away in the near future again. Fingers crossed. I’ve missed that particular piece of kit.

My Mum only reckoned Lulu was worth a “4″. We’re talking to each other again now. Just.

Any excuse to repost this image from two years ago of our patriotic bunnies enjoying a quiet pint. I like to think my photoshop skills have come on a bit since then, but hey ho… Other news… Mum’s commented to say she’s had a grand time in Salamanca this last week, which I already suspected. See you on the skype maana, mamá. Jose’s coming round this evening to cook a speciality shrimp dish. He’s worried though, with his usual modesty, that if we taste it we’ll end up sleeping outside his house under newspapers begging him to cook it again. Time will tell, but I’m looking forward to it… Maybe some more bloggin’ later. Cheers like.
