I’ve never been there, but we are going to La Gruta after the pyramids. It appears to have the largest and most spectacular caves, but it’s also looks like the most touristy. There’s other cavelike restaurants in the area that I’d rather go to, like Mictlán; they are smaller, but not quite as touristy. La Caverna is another restaurant in the area.

Finally found out what is going on at the zócalo…a life size replica of the Sistine Chapel. Tickets are free, May have to check it out. https://sixtinaenmexico.com

Maybe he shouldn’t have invaded Poland.

and if Apple came out with a confederate flag emoji, it would not spark any outrage with Fox.

so this is Lobo??

Wow, glad this was brought up. I leave for CDMX in a couple of weeks and I was thinking you had to test within 72 hours (like we did in Oaxaca last November). As we are coming back to US on a Monday, there are less labs open on Sunday, so I thought that complicated things. Turns out you can buy a test before you leave the US and do the test through one of the partners associated with the airline the day before departure.

or ACU

@SimonBolivar Thanks for the pics. So what’s going on at the zócalo? Video from webcamsdemexico.com shows the zócalo closed with a temporary building and tent erected across from the cathedral. Is it some sort of Easter thing?

take some photos...

I thought she was changing her name...again

Not entirely accurate… https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/28/politics/republican-reaction-marjorie-taylor-greene Don't get me wrong, repubs have done a horrible job calling out their worst of the worst, but it’s a long list.

Gee thanks Obama

Yeah, a dude who does this ain’t picking a veep with a disability…

frat house scotch...

High school classmate of mine used to go to Costa Rica a couple times a year before COVID. Doesn't go there for the food, doesn't go there for fishing, doesn't go there to lie in the sun...he goes there for the whores. Upon arrival, he goes to the pharmacy (he's over 50), gets some Viagra, gets some cheap, local food he can keep around his hotel room/apartment and proceeds to bang whores in said room/apartment for 2-3 days. On one trip, he decided to obtain the services of two young chicas. He returned to the U.S. without his Rolex.

We’re fucked, aren’t we?

Went to lunch with a vendor today. We’ve had political discussions before, so we know where each other stands. My boss, who knows I’m a lib, asked vendor about the Ukraine situation. Dude immediately went into a conspiracy theory blaming Biden, son Hunter & Hillary. I looked at him with an open jaw, then said “Oh my effing god…dude, you might want to broaden your news sources a bit.” My mostly conservative boss even found his ranting a bit much. At least I got a lobster salad out of it.

Awesome book. Amazing that they all survived, although the ordeal undoubtably took years off many of their lives. There were so many opportunities for some, if not all to die. Can't imagine what it would be like to be so cold for so long, especially without the technical gear and clothing that we have today. A few recollections of many that blew my mind: Having to kill, then eat their sled dogs when food was getting scarce. As you can imagine, bonds were made between man and dogs. When the pipe tobacco ran out, some of the crew took out some precious insulation from boots/clothing and smoked it. After the ship sunk, and spending some time on the ice floe, they realized they had to get off and seek land. After another arduous journey in the life boats, they finally reach land; after damn near crashing their boats on this miserably cold, barren island. They have to turn over their boats to use as shelter, but the ground was covered in penguin shit. The stench was un bearable, but they no other alternative.

Cuidado SB!

And because some of us can’t get enough of Jenna’s batshit craziness… https://www.yahoo.com/news/capitol-rioter-jenna-ryans-prison-165600477.html "We passed her around in the consulting world and she got a bunch of advice. Yet she didn't listen," Coulman said. shocker…
