I crossed the border and spent the night in San Christobal, a 500 year old colonial town, rich in Mayan culture, very few tourists. If anyone told you Mexico is cheap, they lied, the roads are toll and I have paid over R600 in 2 days so I am a bit bleek, anyway, hopefully that is now past. I headed up the East coast, spent last night in Veracruz, was going to stop in Tampico, but it is just another large sprawling city, so I moved on to Valle. I will move on west and north towards Copper Canyon tomorrow. The Federales are full of shit , always stopping and searching, not my idea of fun! anyway Copper Canyon is in the wild lands of the central north, still pretty basic there and apparently stunning! The temp since Costa Rica has been around 40 every day so after a few beers you watch it run out your pores, so no beer boep! still lean and mean! After Copper Canyon I head up to Nogales and Tucson. More later Adios.
