So leaving hectic Mexico City we headed north to Monterrey to see my very good friend Laura who was my roomate and best friend when i studied in the states. I had not seen her since she came to London 2 years before so was very excited to see her and meet all her family. We arrived thur night and had a tradtional welcome meal with her and all her friends (who were very excited to meet us!! felt quite famous). Then we headed to a bar where we met even more frien...

After some drama with work trying to get our shifts covered and some more drama trying to rent a car (can be difficult for overseas under 25 driver!) me and Kirkum finally got to go on our much anticipated roadie!!! We picked up the car and I thought I may wet myself with excitement (the car company would have charged us loads so I managed to hold it in) and packed up our stuff and off we went!!! Originally we were working but thankfully it rained so they did not...
