What is the Spanish for ‘Happy New Year’ again?!?
Day 111 Monday
Chuidad Juarez
New years Eve was a quiet day for me, once again I phoned the insurance places which were closed and the family took us all out to lunch, to a Steak house…. Maybe I should repeat I don’t eat meat a little louder, although I thought we were going for Tacos… I [...]

I am a Leg End!
Day 110 Sunday
El Paso, Tx
That night I had gotten my camping mats out and slept away from the kitchen table. All the events in Ruidoso needed to be explained to the rest of the family that were left behind and they were chatting, laughing and smoking long into the night. I tried calling some insurance [...]

The road back to Mexico
Day 109 Saturday
El Paso, Tx
I don’t quite know how they all managed to accumulate so much stuff but it was everywhere and we were supposed to be leaving at 11am. It said so on the door, check out at 11am or have a $25 fine charged to your credit card. I think they justified it [...]

Ski Apache
Day 105
Ruidoso, New Mexico
Only 4 of us were brave enough to head out that morning but I had already bought my lift pass the previous afternoon so I really didn’t have a choice. I tried to tell someone that they could do with a lesson but I wasn’t getting through, maybe it was my lack [...]

Skiing in the States
107 Thursday Ruidoso, NM
Lilys brother slept downstairs in the living room and woke up me up a couple of times moaning and talking. It sounded very weird! Everyone eventually dragged themselves up and stated the purpose of today was to go skiing. That sounded fine but when you looked outside there was no snow… I [...]

Up to the Mountains of New Mexico

Well I was up for 8am just about, I gazed longingly at the breakfast bar which looked quite good but we didn’t have time for that. We high tailed it over to the house and… sat around the table smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee for 2 hours. I dont know what they [...]

Christmas Day
Day 105 Juarez Mexico
After the excitement of Christmas eve the next day was quite a lot more relaxed. We all watched TV, I finally signed up to Skype and called my parents in the UK. My brother finally officially asked me to be his best man, so it looks like I’ll be taking a break [...]

Mexican Christmas
Day 104 : Juarez Mexico
It was Christmas Eve, my favourite time of the year…. Not. Its not that I hate Christmas but I think that its been perverted by capitalism. I’m not a Christian but I’m expected to celebrate it non the less. Sure there should be a time in the year for families to [...]

Surprise! You have diarrhea!
Day 103:Arizona
As tempting as it was to stay longer in the amazing hot bed of vice and sin we had to get a hustle on back to Texas for Christmas. I was looking forward to my first Christmas in America, despite the fact I didn’t eat turkey I’m sure it was going to be a [...]

The Heart of Darkness
Day 102: Las Vegas
That morning Leon had disappeared off to some hiking place in the nearby mountains and we had a city to explore. He had furnished us with maps and some suggestions but the first thing we wanted was some food. We headed to Chinatown and after a wander around found a nice Thai [...]
