MEXICOWe arrived in Mexico City just in time to celebrate Independence Day with the local people. We had a brilliant time and the atmosphere was phenomenal. The following day we watched the Military parade which was very impressive. It seemed like everyone living in Mexico City was out in the zocalo that day. The people are very patriotic to their country but in turmoil with their current political situation. On Sunday we overdosed on the cultural thing and visit...

Yeeha, Texans are so friendly. They loved us over there, or perhaps it is just anyone with an accent. Whilst there, we attended the 44Th Native American Pow Wow at the Traders Market in Grand Prairie. We did several double takes when people walked by munching on turkey legs. A bit of a light snack....but then again, nothing is small in America. A visit to the 6Th Floor museum and the John F Kennedy memorial is a must when you are in Dallas. It felt eary to be sta...

Bright lights, big city....this place is nuts. We have never really been drawn to Vegas but it's easy to see how you can get sucked in. Las Vegas can consume you with it's crazy atmosphere. We unexpectedly had a ball. The Wild Wild West Hotel and Casino wasn't exactly on par with those on the strip....but that's what you get for travelling on a budget baby. We caught up with Dan, who we met at Burning Man and went out for a couple of drinks one ev...

Reno was our next port of call as it was here that we had to pick up the Winnebago for our road trip to Black Rock City for Burning Man. We spent one night at the cheesy Peppermill Hotel and Casino. The bright lights and the noise gave us all a headache so we headed straight for the bar, where we met Dallis. Quite a character, who had us in stitches and also took a liking to Tanya. Claudia's bag was unfortunately lost but the airline assured us that they coul...

We arrived in LA and checked into the Gershwin on Hollywood Boulevard. The guy at reception was quite distressed as he informed us that he had to write up his first death report. Brilliant! What a great first impression. We did the touristy thing and went on a Hollywood tour, saw the famous stars on Hollywood blvd and the infamous Hollywood sign in the hills. The weather here is perfect. Blue skies and sunny days (well at least for the duration of our stay). A vi...
