whats exciting today?

No, not caught in the flooding.. Fortunately mexico is a big place :)

Anyway, a few pics from this week...

Mexicans have a healthy fancination with death. I like it.

The ruins in Tullum even have their own turquoise beach, dotted with good looking itallians but lots of locals too!

Thought we´d get him on a bike one day!

I went snorkeling in these cenote (caves/caverns) the other day. One of the coolest things since I got here for sure. Visibility is almost 100%! Almost felt like you were flying, except for the fish.

So they used to throw Mayan virgins, kids and warriors into this centote near Chichen Itza to appease thier local rain god. Too bad for them ehh.

El Castillo... nice and big, just how I like them.

I just spent the last three days camping in a little eden, even had a kitten to cuddle up to at night... aweee kittens. Hey, and my own labrynth too.

High tech security systems are a specialty

Lazing by the pool, a duck and about 8 or so eggs!

Climbed an old volcanoe yesterday, and got to see a real live active one! Was an amazing day, which unfortuately had a bad ending. A car clipped my door


as I got out of the tour car at the end of the day. Thats kinda crap since I´m not sure my insurance covers it, slimy bastards! well, as they say.... shit happens.


Yay! A big cone of dirt!

I really wanted to go to Pazcuaro, but it doesn´t look like that will happen since the Dia De Muertos (day of the dead) festival is in full swing and that town (which is supposed to be one of the nicest in mexico) is the focal point of it all. Would be an amazing time to be there but no where to stay!




Whoops..

episode 2

As far as Jame´s theorey goes.. on ´´Tijuana lesbiana´´ havn´t verified it yet, but I still have a few days in Baja so who knows.

mexico so far :)

Got here ok. took us a while to gt out of northern Baja.

Tijuana... fun if you like going to the pub and strip clubs! has some good eats though. don't get ice in your margarita though. I got sick on the second day (yay!) so only just enjoyed San Phillipe, but it really wasn't that bad.

Hopefully will get to the mainland by Friday/Saturday.


Bit of a blower that day :)
















love y'all

more egocentrical stuff :)

Doc Watson, the original North Carolina hill billy. This guy was amazing. He and his buddies came up with bluegrass.... still lives in the Smoky mountains, which look just like most of Australia's mountains.

Oh... and he was completely blind. Always had been. His sister was also blind. recessive genes are a bitch! But he seemed to manage alright.


I Started this ride today at sea level. Bit of a climb but isn't it amazing! We finished on a beautiful beach just north of San Francisco, dirking beer and eating Sicilian olives.. Yum. Yeah Ell I found some here. Wish you were here to eat them with me :)

my new wool!

mountain biking Tahoe with a kick stand..

The Sierra's are one of the best mountain biking trails in the world, and I did it with a
kickstand in toe!

Look closely and you can see Tahoe in some of these. 13 miles at up to 10,000 ft, thats as high as I've ever been, and its amazing riding here... glad I stopped smoking the airs pretty thin.





























































































The first bike lane in the world, started right on the corner of Sycamore and 8th in Davis.

In San Fransisco....poor men don't own shoes

Its true.. there are lots of them, and they don't.


















I am really tired... reckon I walked about 30k this weekend... but I got to see Michael Franti by chance (and for free) at the power to the people concert in San Francisco!














Warning.. aspiring hippies, this could be you in 20 years. This guy kept me entertained for a while, but you had to be tough.. it was hard to look. I guess he was happy tho.

Alcatraz, was absolutely beuatiful....

- and that lobsters had become the dominant species on the planet, and had built cities and theaters and hospitals and public transportation and so on. He had lobsters playing violins and solving murders and performing microsurgery and subscribing to book clubs and so on. The moral of the story was that the lobsters were doing exactly as human beings had done, which was to make a mess of everything. Kurt Vonnegut - Galapagos
