Acapulco Mexico rocks!!!

Afternoon all...

I'm off on my travels again. At the mo I am in Acapulco Mexico. This is a stunning place. Lovely weather, good spicy food and good beer, Corona!

This is the view from my hotel. What hardship 'ey? I'm right on the seafront with loadsa bars down the road. Has to be done, its hot here and you need to keep hydrated hahahahaha!!!!

This was one evening out with the two reps of Telux. On the right its Mr Guillermo and in the middle its Mr Antonio... This is after a good meal of fajitas and shrimps, lovely...

This is the seafront seen from the harbour area. Loadsa little fishing boats and an all pervading smell of woman. Eh, fish, I mean...
This is the famous La Quebrada diving place where local people risk their lives by jumping of high cliffs. Ithink I was there on the wrong day as there were not many divers and they did not go up all the way up the cliffs... Never mind, nice to see and another one ticked of my list...
This again La Quebrada from the far end of the cliffs. It is at the bottom of where you can see that restaurant in the middle of the picture.
OK, gotta go, time for a few Coronas, tomorrow I am off to Guatemala. A country where I have not been before. Should be good,more of the same I hope, Fajitas and Coronas hahahaha!

Cheerio,
Alex.

Mexican it is then....

Evening,

As I said the hotel restaurant was crap so I did go outdoors in the end. At least there was a reasonable mexican just down the road. I have been to Mexico quite a few times now and really like the food. There. In the US it is a bit hit and miss. I have stunning ones in Arizona and terrible ones in Kansas. This one was in between.

The service was a right laugh as the waitresses who didn't speak an awful lot of english and sortof didn't know who did what table. As a result I ordered 1 Corona and got three from three different waitresses. No worries, I was thirsty. The salsa was rather tame. I have had salsas in Guadalajara in Mexico just from street vendors that would rip your head off, so spicy. This one was rather mild but they did have Cholula on the table and with a half bottle of that it became nice and hot.

And yes, I made the same mistake again, ordered a 'small sideorder' of chicken wings and in the piccie above I had eaten already about 12. They had cleaned out my bones tray twice... Never mind. The Fajitas Texasana were good. It was just chicken and beef fajitas with a handfull of shrimps thrown on. They were well nice. I only had 5 beers as I had to drive.

At least it beat the Holiday Inn restaurant hands down. And it should make me nice and smelly for the flight home. For some reason when I am on an aeroplane something happens to my bowels and I become, how shall we say, windy? This should be good for at least three rows of people in front and behind me trying to find out who it is that is stinking out the plane. Nobody ever seems to think its me, I'm usually busy loooking around trying to find the culprit, well aware of the fact its me of course.

OK, gotta go and get some kip, this could be the last sleep for two days coming up...

Taraaa,

Alex The Windy One.

Louisville Kentucky...

Afternoon all,

I'm on my travels again. At the moment I am in Louisville, Kentucky. I'm here to do a short job for a Cemex customer that has a system on the blink. The work is going well but as usual I have brought crap weather with me. Right now it is pissing down, thundering and there is a serere weather warning in place.

I think I again have confirmed the fact that the name Rainman is apt for me. I have had rain in Saudi Arabia in the desert, I have had it pissing down in the Mojave desert in California and now this place.

It started out this morning hot as hell, 90 degrees with 80% humidity, pretty unpleasant... But now rainman strikes again. See the piccie below. Its the weather warning for right now...

That nice orange blob on the doppler radar is right outside my hotel. Never mind, there is a bar downstairs that does cold Corona so I don't care. I don't even have to leave the hotel to score a cold one, bring it on!

On sunday I leave for Holly Hill in South Carolina so for anybody reading this that lives there, enjoy the sun, its gonna end on sunday when I arrive!

Take Care,

The Flying Dutchman.
