A journal entry from: Rippin through Central America in an RV
Well its been awhile since I was able to get to a computer. The beginning of my epic trip didn't start well. Half way across central Mexico we broke down in the middle of nowhere and it took us almost a week to get our van to a town and i'm pretty sure we're not even close to getting on the move again. We stranded in a two horse town between Apan and Apizaco, this is one of three computers in the town and its definately seen better days. I can't upload pics because it has no usb or cd drive so those will have to come later.
We visited Mexico City and spent some drunken nights there living in low-rent apartments with the locals for a couple weeks. Great fun, real mexican food is so good. Sometimes its hard to remember that what we eat as mexican state-side is such crap. Nothing like sitting in the dusty back-streets of Mexico City with a baked fish taco/sandwhich thing, a warm beer, and playing dice with my toothless 80yr old short-term friend Picho.
After wearing out our welcome in Mexico City we decided to make the treacherous journey across the Cerro Del Tlaloc to Verracruz on the Caribbean. about a quarter of the way we broke down, and so we're stuck for now. Looks like a phenominal town and i'm sure i'll have something to write about later on.
Now to find a shower.
