It's time to stop slacking and start packing. In a few days, I'll be off to Mexico for an 11 day adventure of culture, sight seeing and rock climbing. But first, MY INAUGURAL BLOG POSTING!

Follow me as I explore the countryside with my Mexican friend, Jorge (hore-hay). Landing in Mexico City on Friday, July 28th, our plan is to visit the sights, restaurants and bars until late the next evening. On Sunday, we'll be going out of town to visit the pyramids, which is lucky because i just learned that a major political rally will be held in front of our hotel. It seems the PRD (Party of the Democratic Revolution) is protesting the recent Presidential Election results. A few hundred thousand politically charged Mexican's and me. Should be fun.

After that, it's off to Queretaro City to stay with Jorge's family. We expect a lot of food, drink and rock climbing in this region, which should last several days at least. From this point we're not sure what the trip holds. However, we plan to finish the adventure by climbing Pena de Bernal, the second largest monolith in the world. Soaring over 400 metre out of the desert like surrounding, this climb will be one to remember.

Anyhow, I'm off to pack now. Check back for updates and photos starting this weekend. I'll be posting as much as possible. But it may only be every few days.
