La Mesilla crossing
Quote:
They must have seen someone else from Washington. I'm travelling solo. I was in Pelenque for a few days, then Comitan on Thursday and Friday. I crossed at Mesilla this a.m. - 15 minutes on the Mexico side to get stamped out and spend the last of my pesos, 15 minutes to get to the Guat border post, another 30 minutes to get proper paper. Cost me 12.40 Qetzals for the fumigation, 41Q for the bike import. Buy gas on the Mexico side. I'm hanging in Quetzaltenango for a bit, for some needed Spanish. Maybe I'll see you pass through? |
Best beer I´ve had since leaving the USA, but after drinking the piss water stuff all through Central America my abilty to handle the real thing seems to be compromised. A bit of sage advice: Never try to match drinks with an Irish lass in a British pub in Ecuador.

Great beer and company albert. A real british brew pub is a rare sight down here.
My SecaII is still running but i havent made it very far. I should be in Cuenca for another 6months / year teaching and ill defiantly be back Quito to buy you a beer. Jerome |

How did I end up in Quito? that,s a long story,give me a couple days to think up a concise version of the strange story of an old despatcher or better still get down here and get the aural version and save me a load of one handed typing!!

Always Look On The Bright Side of Life
One handed typing? I don't want to know what you're doing with the other hand when online. Evening, Albert, how the hell is it? Still got the Blade and the Camaro? Found a space for that portrait? Bout time I came back down for another month or so of Llama Negra and ribs, I reckon.
Best Pub in Ecuador? No doubt. Top Ten in Latin America? Absolutely. The Turtle's Head makes a top Quito HQ - Bert knows his stuff and runs a great bar. Say 'hello fajer' to Roland if he's still around, will ya? Suerte, Dan Walsh |
I'll second that...
I managed to see Dan dance after a few ales at the Turtles head. Now that is worth paying money for - the beer is that good.
It is a superb pub. Albert is a gent - the atmosphere unique in that part of the world, you cannot go through Quito without a visit....or ten. I'm missing a decent pint large - not much around here. Good to hear from you here Albert, it brought back some good memories. |
looking forward to a cold one....
albert,
we've made it to nicaragua, costa rico tomorrow and so on and so on.....hope to be in quito by Nov 21st. we could use the the following help.... need a shipping address to get some parts sent to - anyway we can send them to you and you hold them for us? how bout a good 'value' place to stay in quito. we'll be there at least a week, and want to do the galapogos (sp?) islands as well. my choice will be a pint of your thickest, heaviest, blackest brew you have... hope to see you soon. mark |
