Mexico - A limited view

Jun 03, 2006 09:33

Naturally, Shaunelle does not really want to get out in public much while she recuperates from her surgery.  So, we have not been out and about discovery Guadalajara.  Before we came, I did not think she would want to leave the hotel  much which is why I spent some of my travel points on a nice hotel room for her.  We stayed at the Hotel Posada the first two nights because it is very close to the surgery clinica.  It was nice, and had a very Mexican vibe to it.  However, two nights on that hard bed was killing my back.

Even though I have had a very limited view of Mexico, I need to understand why so many Mexicans are willing to go to America illegally...  Everywhere I have looked people are employed in jobs you see anywhere else.  Actually the city looks kind of crowded like a Japanese city does; some things are very similar.  I guess the country and small towns have it harder.  I am interested in doing some research into the unemployment rate of Mexico.  Is America really a better place to break in to??

Shaunelle seems to be recovering okay.  Of course, being one of her closest friends, I felt it was my duty to share my sinus infection with her as we began our travels.  I am happy to report that I am 99% over the sinus problems for now.  SHaunelle had to suffer with the worst of the sinus problems just after her surgery.  Aren't I just the bestest friend ever??  Once the swelling goes down, and the bruising goes away, I think this small surgery will have a huge impact on making her even prettier than she was before.

So, in keeping with my previous post, I hit the "gym" here at the Hilton.  I did some lifts from a great book that seems to put together a lot of the bodybuilding wisdom of the last few decades.  WELL, I had to stop the workout after about ten minutes...  I am more out of shape than I thought;  my legs are killing me with tons of lactic acid build up.

However, this is not discouraging, but actually the opposite!  I am ready to get back into shape, and this first little workout was very exciting.
