After our two nights in LA we spent a night in Mexico City, after which time we mastered the phrases 'Repitir por favor' and ´Mas despacio por favor´ (repeat it please & more slowly please)
Flying in, Mexico City is.......well gigantic. So thats what a city looks like when you cram in the entire population of Australia. The airport is really nice though, kicks LAX´s butt.
The next day we flew into Tapachula, a very different view flying in. Its quite rural, green with huge mountains and a massive volcano which dominates the skyline. The heat that hit us as we got off the plane (their Winter) - it was like stepping into a Sauna.

The taxi driver from the Airport didnt know what a Surfboard was so fitting my double case into the taxi was interesting.

Tapachula itself is very colorful, as you would expect from a Mexican town, most rendered walls are painted a vibrant hue or has a colorful advertisement painted on it, usually for Corona.

| Exhibit B - Tapachula is one colorful city. |

| Exhibit C - This is a Piñata Store for all your Piñata needs. |
Adios.
