Mexike-ska

Listening to: Kaskade - Love Mysterious album.

Mexike-ska (mĕk'sĭ-kĕ's-kă): Mexico with the Slovenes.

So, this will be a bit more like a couple of blogs because there are quite a number of good pictures. To summarize, Katja and Gregor came to Mexico for their holidays during christmas time, they had the chance to go to quite a number of states, including Puebla, Veracruz, Morelos, Chiapas, so on and so forth. I met them on the last week of their trip and took them to see a bit more which included time with my friends and family. It was quite a lot of fun to hear the remarks from their point of view.

So of course they had a kick with Tequila. We first stayed at Jazmin&Eduardo's a couple of friends from the university. It was great to see my friends from those days, and though some things have changed, we can still get people drunk:


Eduardo, Katja and Gregor.


Well, my dear friend was much too big for the door frames from Mexico, he had quite some trouble once in Taxco actually, that was the first time I heard him swear in slovene, ha!. Anyhow, this is at Jaz's


Eduardo crashed with a parked trailer (really, how the fuck did he do that?), and ended up with one of those neck thingies, which of course was the prop of the night.



Katja had a bit of trouble with sun burns. She had her hand all burnt unevenly, but it was temporal, I think she's ok already.


Gregor was excited about hats during the whole trip, he brought back like 3 of them.


Actually this should've been the first picture. I met K&J on the 3rd of January in San Cristobal de las Casas in Chiapas. That day Gregor was sick (it was too cold for him, go figure), and so Katja and I toured the town and did some shopping.


The day after we went to Tuxtla Gutierrez and droped our bags there, then we headed to Chiapa de Corzo were we visited the Cañon del Sumidero



These were definitely foreigners (or just drunk, pick your choice), they decided to swim in the waters of Rio Grijalva, source for the biggest power plant of the region, of warm temperature and infested with crocodiles.


After Chiapas we went to Puebla were we visited my Bro and Sis. They took us to a bar in Los Sapos which featured Trova music.



We also went to Taxco after we were in Puebla. There we visited my friends Sergio and Gwendy. Sergio had the "great" idea of taking us to "El cerro del Tepozteco" which is a decently high hill (about 1.5 km, almost straight up), to which of course I was unprepared, my shoes almost ripped apart and I was exhausted. First we actually went for lunch to a quite nice restaurant.


And this is the Tepozteco


Alright this post is long enough, I will stop here and put more pictures later.
