Still no news on the camera front, although for the last 2 weeks I have had the sheer joy of having access to Ali's camera, which has allowed for a veritable festooning of new photo goodies to all sides of the World Wide Web. Have a look at my flickr site when and if the urge takes you.
But yes, we have been as 'baja' as one can be in Baja California. Well, not really as we only made it a bit more than half way down the pennisula, but I was talking about the Baja spirit!!! C'mon even a jived out square like you can surely remember what it was like to be young and funky. As I clearly am.
Seriously though, Baja Carlifornia has been great. Wonderful desert, very pretty bays and an endless horizon cannot help but make good road trip fare. It has however, and I do need to say this, been a little tinsy bit freezing. Oh yes, Mexico has not put on palm trees, beers with citrus tidbits escaping from every angle or bikinied Mexican lasses dallying on sandy shores. Rather we have been treated to single digit temperatures, snow in the higher altitudes and general all round 'Could you please give me a hand, because I believe your chiuaua is frozen to my left thigh' kind of discomfort.
Still it has been a good mid stop - nice mix of latin and north american culture... and
I damn tootingly sure that it will be somewhat colder on my arrival in Canada, which
happens in a few days now. In fact the whole ambience has sometimes been more
akin to a zoo in which to watch the cute and amazing behaviour of United States retirees in their natural habitat, than a real part of the
Mexican nation.
And in no way did we break the car.

Las despididas siempres son las cosas mas dificiles!
Bueno, esta es mi ultima entrada desde Sudamerica. Manaña, me voy... a Mexico, a Canada, a Europa, a Asia, a Dios sepa donde. Y por eso, pienso que sea adecuada hacer esta entrada en español. El hecho es que en mi corazon de corazones, soy de verdad una niña grande - me gustan gestos sentimentales y demonstraciones de emocion sin razon.
En las ultimas diez meses, he viajado por cinco paises, y cuidades sin contar. He conocido personas increibles, chistosas, differentes, que fueron y espero que sean siempre mis amigos. Me gustaria expresar mi agradecimiento a estas personas que han hecho esta viaje la experienca ha sido.
Asi, en este sentido - al fin y al cabo esta entrada es por estas personas. Es por Carla, por Sergio, por Diana, por Soledad, por Jorge, por Caris, por Yuri, por Pedro y Lydia, por Jhenifer, por Victor y Ines, por Alex, por Mayori, por Mireya, por Emma, por Henri y Juana, por Carlos y por esas mujeres que pelearon en el bus en Ecuador. Por Jessica (como va Harry Potter?) Por Claudia, por Sonia, por Lauren, por Alyse, por Ingo, por el hombre que me intentó robar en Potosi, por ese extraño Israeli a que le gusta sacar su camisa sobre rocas grandes. por Jesse y su disposicion de hablar constantamente de religion. Por Leidy y Maribel. Por Grupo Cinco. Por Lorena (Ompa Loompa!) y su familia.
Por Shakira. ( Es verdad, sus caderas no mienten)
Ojala que nuestros caminos encuentren otra vez en esta vida. Y por que no se como decir esta sentimiento en ninguna manera que sea mejor, a todos, recuerda, ahora y siempre....
Rock and Roll!!!!!!!!!!!!

The times they are a changing.
Well, just like the build up to that hurried kiss behind the school shed in Year Six, all the excitement has come to something which is less than life changing. The camera men told me that my poor little photo box needed parts from the US, which would take a week to arrive. So still no photos... a fact about which I am somewhat miffed.
Anyhow, one needs to pull one´s self up by the boatstraps and soldier on. Less than ten days till lift off to North America, which I have come to terms with and am ready for. And for some strange reason I am very much looking forward to getting behind the wheel of a car. Mexico will not know what hit it. I am going to refrain from wearing kilts though.
New Years was spent on a bus. Party on! But regardless of my own lameness, I take the opportunity to wish you all a happy new year and the best of luck for the coming months.
Rock and Roll well into 2007
