Hola to you all..,thanks again for the feedback, don't worry if its only trivia, I love to hear about the shitty weather and the boring office...no, seriously, always good just to know someones out there, like a DJ on the graveyard shift, you've gotta have someone acknowledge your existence every now and again..<br />..so....it was good to get back on the bike after a coupla days in Acapulco.....and after the fantastic help from our friends at Motomar changing the tyres and oil, that was such a cool break, unbelievable, We were given T-shirts and key ring bizzos, I gave the boss my gold kangaroo pin and an AUS sticker..we'll be passing on his address to any bikes we see on the road for sure.....

trying to find if turtles taste like whales!...hey, I myself believe them all to be legit..) anyway, at the end of the road was a little palapa and some fisherpeoples shacks..and all these farm birds, chooks, ducks, geese, bantams, a couple of each, like a avian ark load...thats where the pic of the kid checking my bike...you have to look close to see the kid.....
So, the also omnipresent donkeys or asses or whatever..lots and lots of these puppies, hard at work, out in the back blocks all over the countryside and in the towns...Mexico runs on burrrros...and they are soo cute, well some of them, like people I guess...wonder if they make the same comments about us?..I think their only criteria for judging humans would be to do with work load and food..however, some of them have real character and very pretty..the further south we get the better looking they get...or is the lonliness of the road...whoa......no, don't worrry, I'm not going over to the dark side, leave bestiality to the bestials I reckon, but you can admire a good looking donkey, surely, maybe I'd better move on....
So theres pigs and horses and cows yadda yadda...
Now its approaching 'border day'...shit, should have got those photocopies done...funny how we approached Mexico, Tijuana with some trep only 3 weeks ago...subsequent culture shock, language, endless queues, bizarre protocols, uncomprehending officials, hot and sweaty, dodgey paperwork, stories (from normally paranoid americanas) about banditos, crooked cops, rip-off artists etc etc....now we are feeling pretty comfortable in Mexico, enough español to get by, been thru several policia/militario check points...like a coupla times on each leg there will be a check point but the only times they've wanted to actually look in the boxes its been more curiosity than searching, and with a bit of conversation, and when they realise we're from Oz and where we are going they have been terrrific....but now we are only a couple of days from the border...and the old border-crossing nerves are cutting in..no, its not that bad, just like a difficult, time-consuming chore that has to be faced....and it will cost!!

OK, must be time for you all to get to work, turn n the computer and say oh no more of this drivel...can't he edit it down a bit,...sorrry, its all I can do...and I'm going off to sit on the beach and suck on a cold lassie...no you scottish bastard ..a yoghurt drink...hasta
