My New Spanish School

Day 322
Quetzaltenango, Guatemala
I’m on day 2 of my Spanish language lessons and I’m quite happy with my progress. It seems I haven’t been quite so lazy after all and have been slowly absorbing the language during my time in Mexico. At least that’s what I’m telling myself.
My teacher Rosario is a cute little lawyer in [...]

Gringo Taxi poster

Its amazing what you can pick up just by playing around in Photoshop. I made up a poster to try to get some passengers in my van. I’ll have a pocket in the bottom left for cards too. Think it will work? [...]

96:Santa Fe, Nm:Too cold for art.

I wasn’t going to make the same mistake I did at the dinosaur park and we paid up our $14 pronto before they called in the feds and we headed back to Roswell, intending to go to the museum. I also intended to get a photo of me standing by the city limits sign with [...]

89:Dallas:Picking up the passenger

I didn’t get an early night in any case and couldn’t get to sleep until about 3am. I had started reading His Dark Materials again and that kept me up later than I should have. I managed about 10am which was potentially too late but I wasn’t going to kill myself getting up to Dallas. [...]

80:Louisiana:Living it up in the Big Easy

I guess the slight advantage of it being so cold while camping is that it certainly encourages me to get my ass out of bed. It was 6 degrees, so not too bad, and I was wearing plenty of clothes which certainly took the edge off it. I was starting to hum a bit since [...]

New York : Tensing for the sprint south….

After the excitement of the previous night we weren’t up until late, Marie went out to buy a new phone while I lazed around. We went out for bagels in a cool little store nearby and decided what to do with the rest of the day. I wanted to go to a legendary camera store [...]

New York: New York Reality

Driving in Manhattan seemed easy enough on thursday night at 9pm but I was about to try it on a Saturday morning which was going to be fun. I gave myself plenty of time… I thought. The traffic was pretty heavy, I wouldn’t like to do this on a weekday, but I just had to [...]

Boston Invasion Party time!

Living near the center of Montreal with Daniella meant I could finally do some easy tourist things, but that didn’t really happen as we spent most of the day in Sex Shops. I didn’t get pictures. The previous day was really nice and we had hiked up to the Mount Royal which the city is [...]

Im all stiff!!

Not in the erotic sense of course, I went rockclimbing last night for the first time. Ok I did it in Thailand up a mountain, but that felt more like the guy pulling me up. Was where the Tsunami hit, I wonder if he is ok…Im in Montreal, everything is in French, sexy girls keep [...]

Rat Pizza?

I found somewhere to park up all night and came to the Canadiana Backpackers to sort myself out for when my car had to go back. I stole their wifi, took a shower (the girl on the desk took pity on me, she looked disgusted when she learnt I was kipping in my car) and [...]
