Gwyn’s Photoblog… Mostly Mexico (& Increasingly California)

Self explanatory really… from Guadalajara’s Nuevo Progreso Plaza de Toros yesterday.

Another Charro de Jalisco brandishing his reata.

Water from the taps in Mexico is of variable quality. Even if it gets to your house uncontaminated it’s sat around in tinacos (tanks) on the roof of your house for days and the plumbing isn’t always the most hygenic. So there are competing water companies who call round every day selling gallon bottles of water (garafones) for around 20 pesos. We’re sticking with Juan from Bonafont because Atticus gets on very well with him… The bloke here was doing around 30 mph in a built up area and looking backwards which is quite a skill in itself.

We’re off for a week or so to the States, LA and NY. And as you may have gathered my blogs are playing up a bit so apologies for the sporadic posting. Here’s a photo from Sunday’s Flickr tour of some paternal fun since we’ll be passing by our family’s home in L.A. Keep checking back or subscribe away to the RSS or email updates! Cheers!

First of many Charreria (Mexican Cowboy Rodeo stuff) photos. Taken in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico.
