  • Tacos de Chorizo

    Had to have some of those, in a small taqueria I know, as my first meal/snack. You have no idea how happy this made me. 🙂

  • Swim-up room

    Hotel Tortuga, Playa del Carmen, QR, Mexico.

    It’s good to be “home” (Playa feels like this to me now).

  • Spontaneous Generation

    That’s a lot of air!

  • Mexican ADSL Latency

    It’s not quite Sanibel Island, but pretty close. Usual is between 6-900ms. Kinda missing my Montreal 19ms latency (and greater than 0.07 Mb/s upload speed). Getting it all back in three days. 🙂
