..no new stuff???

Hi there! I've been way to busy with travelling to keep my blog updated but I'll get on to it this week...
What's mising so far:
-a trip to the Yucatan Peninsula, Isla Mujeres, Playa del Carmen, Chitzen Itza
-the last days in Monterrey
-a trip to Guadalajara, San Miguel de Allende and Mexico City

At the moment I'm heading to Guatemala and from there I'll fly to Costa Rica (don't want to cross Honduras because of the political instable situation at the moment). From there I've planed to go to Panama, Jamaica and Brasil...

Saludos de Mexico City!
