D-day - Departure Day

-

 I am all packed and ready to go. Actually have an hour or so to relax before heading out to the bus station.

Travel cloths laid out, a grocery bag has snacks and layering clothes for later, and my blue backpack (qualifies as a personal item). When I fly on Monday, The only thing I will be taking are the cloths I will be wearing (layered) and the backpack. Should be plenty, I will only be on the road for 4 months..LOL 

Today, I will catch a bus to Mexico City where I will stay and tour around for a couple days before flying to Guatemala, my first stop outside of Mexico.

Here I am getting ready to board the bus in Oaxaca. The ride to Mexico City will be about 6 1/2 hours. Beautiful mount ain and country side along the way. 

But is still a bus ride, along with flying, not on my favorite things to do list.

Once in Mexico City, it was just a short taxi ride to my accomodations. Only about 3 blocks from the main square (Zocolo). A large stage is set up, a band is playing an lots of people enjoying the music. 

The place I am staying at is only about 3 blocks from the Zocolo. Typical old classic buildings. Old style architecture.
I will head out shortly for a bit of walk around, and get something to eat.

Buenos Aires day 5

Today cleared up nicely and the tempurature is a bit warmer. It may be short lived. Tomorrow should be comfortable, but Wednesday will start to cool down again. Up until this morning I was planning to take a bus to Iguazu Falls on the border between Argentina and Brazil. Then a fellow traveler pointed out a flightto Iguazu for less than the bus fare. I had to chose between and 17 hour bus ride or less than 2 hour flight. I didn't have to think very long. I going to fly on Thursday. After breakfast and having a leisure morning. I headed out for my first planned excursion for the day, the Palacio de Agua Corrienientes (the Water Palace). Aptly named. The place look like a palace on the outside and much of the interior to, but it served a vital function in the city of Buenos Aires, it was the main water distribution center and waste water facility. Occupying an entire city block, the Palacio de Aguas Corrientes (Palace of Running Water) was built in the second half of the 19th century...

Mexico City day 1

Out very early this morning, 7 am. Hardly any traffic or people out this time of day. Especially being a Sunday and Easter. I signed up for eBici. This is a bike rental program in mexico City. There are racks everywhere.  Limited to 45 minutes, but I can trade out bikes as many times as I want. The pass I got is for 3 days, comes out to about $6 US per day. Just after I picked up my first bike I found a street side breakfast shop open. So, I am now enjoying Cornflakes with banana and milk. Getting out of business area and closer to Chapultepec Park, there lots of people out jogging, walking and biking. There are lots of bike lanes, so far I been using bike lanes exclusively.  I spent a good amount time riding in Chapultepec. Lots of vendor kiosks. I found one selling sunglasses. I have a pair, but it is all plastic. Guaranteed they will break when I won't find a shop anywhere selling them. I bought a pair for $7 usd that have metal frames. I also noticed they had selfie sticks...

Bogota to San Francisco

Good Morning! Major travel day today! I had to wake up early to meet my Uber to the airport scheduled for 5 am. So the people that came back from night of drinking at close to 4 am didn't wake me up, much. Even so, I reprimanded them for talking so loud, most the others in the hostel were still trying to sleep. The Uber was right on time and I got to the airport in plenty of time for my 7:50 flight to Mexico City.  I would like to say my flight was nice, but that would be a lie. Volaris being a budget carrier, the seats don't recline, and I had a middle seat between a large man and a smaller lady with a huge coat. Because of my baggage restrictions, I was layered. 2 pairs of slacks, 2 shirts and my hoody. This hasn't been a problem because for most flights they keep the cabin temperature relatively cool. Not on this one. The cabin was toasty for the whole trip and I was so squished in, I couldn't take off my hoody. They didn't finally crank up the air conditioning a...
