Ciaran Carroll

Hey How are ye ?
For those of you that dont know me, im 25, Irish, worked pretty hard last few years, lost 1.5 stone and decided to go on a traveling adventure. Im writing this post from Mexico City and its my second day traveling alone. So hows that going...
Well theres a nutbag beside me who´s mouse is not working so like a typical three year ol he decides to smash it around with the hope that it will start working lol So wats been hapening, well yesterday i asked the hotel how much to there Piramids and he quoted $600, i said il get back t him ;) Off I went for strole around city and after alot of procastination i enetered a restaurant, got the dictionary out and attempted pittyfull sign language..(one waiter got peeved as i was laughing at myself...think i better learn spanish ).. but the other waiters looked after me. I orderd fruit & chicken salsa, all on my toblerer&aspathetic as it sounds i was feeling like i could achieve anything. On that banterish note i got a public bus $4, coach $31 and here i was staring at the pyramids 51$, I tell ya.. its a long way from the obolesc on Killiney Hill. Of course i had to climb the 2 biggest pyramids.
One lady nearly got arrested for climbing 2 high on one of them.
My Aunty told me it would be pretty amazing and she was right so if you have advice about Central and South America, please post it. Grabbed 3 Metro´s on way back, 2$, what a bargain. At sun down in Main square ("Plaza de la Constitucion") the Mexican army takes over the square to take the gigantic flag down, touristy but pretty cool.
Yesterday i just chilled in park and had a look at Palace, met an Irish Girl for pint and hit the hay. Walked past "the lads" to my left again early this morning and Flew toTuxtla Gutiérrez this morning and would ye believe Click de Mexicana lost my rucksack, LIKE What a NIGHTMARE, so here i am wondering if it will turn up. They asked me where my tempoprary adress would be and i was like I dunno, Just arrived... THE look she gave me , If i had a bit of spanish she would have known where to go :) So hopefully it turns up this evening as they now have my temporary address lol
So if ye have read this far send me a post Pour fa voir
