Volcanoes climbed: One, Nevado de Toluca
Although I use the word ‘climbed’ loosely. It was more of a ‘drive to the top and then walk for 10 minutes’. But it was high (over 15,000 ft). The fourth highest in Mexico.
Kidnappings and muggings while in Mexico City: None
Candy and tacos eaten: Lots
Time spent in Queretaro: Two days, now I´m moving on up north, to go climbing, and to play in a river
As of yesterday I’m currently enjoying the wonderful world of 30c tacos and lots of old-style VW beetles in Mexico City. Have successfully avoided being kidnapped so far. The city is slightly crazy, and we should be escaping soon, and heading for countryside adventures. Note to self – must learn Spanish.
Longs Peak by full moon, early in the morning.
Part way up the Longs Peak trail, checking things out for the ascent tonight/tomorrow morning.
It’s a lot flatter than I expected. Climbed by moonlight last night. Nothing to see here, move along.
The last couple of days disappeared somewhere. I was sitting there innocently, and then all of a sudden it was farewell lunches, and packing up my apartment, and flat out finishing things at work, and cleaning and cleaning and cleaning my apartment, and trying to mail my crash pad home, and finding out it’s too big to be mailed to Australia (although not too big to be mailed to lots of other countries), and then moving all of my stuff out of my apartment, and handing my keys over, then having to get my keys back because I realised I left a box in the cupboard. And now today I’m catching a plane to Colorado, on the first of my adventures in the GRAND MONTH OF ADVENTURING. (I would like some more sleep though sometime, please.)
