I am in Mexico City for a couple of weeks to testify on behalf of the company I work for in a wrongful death case. I was told to be available to be called from Dec. 7th through Dec 19th. I investigated the engineering details of the accident back the spring for my company is the reason I am involved. Anyway I have been here since the afternoon of 6th, and so far all I have done is set around in the hotel, our local office or the court house during the day. I got to go out a little last night, what a wonderful city. Great food and great people. If not for having to be available at an hours call for the court, this would be a great vacation. And all at not expense to me, plus I am getting paid. ![]() So far I have not spent a bit of time on the stand, and it is beginning to look like I may not be called the 16th, or then maybe not at all. At least the weather is nice |

Fantastic Michael! I bet you wish you had your workshop with you. Imagine how much you could get done on that new commission! Tracy |

Do some looking for builders down there, there are some FABULOUS luthiers in Mexico who do things in the old fashioned way, Kenny hill has a lot of his classicals built in Mexico because it's such a tradition down there... Have fun, be safe and eat some authentic cooking for me, I would love to be there but I would gain 100 pounds... Cheers -paul- |

Be VERRRY careful and be aware of your surroundings when you're out at night...don't travel alone. Check out the museums if you can...lots of great history and culture to absorb. |

12-days is a long time to go without playing. The last time I visited Mexico it took a major act of will to avoid adding to my fretted herd. In fact I'm getting GAS just thinking of it. |

My CTP does not allow me to play much anymore. I did not take anything with me. Just my laptop so I could connect to our network and get on the net with out paying wifi charges |

There is a world of diff. from northern Mexico's food and centrial and southern Mexico's food. both use a lot of peppers, but here more flavorfull peppers and less Scovil rating. more stuffed foods. I went to Spain several years ago and the food here reminds me of that in Westen Spain. |
