A Tlachichuca, je vous recommande:
l'hôtel Gerar, excellent pour pas cher; dont le patron peut vous conduire très haut sur le "pico" en jeep (Par bon temps jusqu'à Piedra grande)
Le restaurant "LA CASA BLANCA" (comme chez soi)
In Tlachichuca I recommend you:
The very good (and cheap) "hotel Gerar", whose owner can drive you high on the pico with his pick-up (up to Piedra Grande if weather is good)
The restaurant "LA CASA BLANCA" super and cheap. Hôtel Gerar

I am doing good. My job is going very well and we are moving into a half a house real soon. Looking forward to getting moved before the holidays. My son and his girl are expecting a baby in June. Can't wait to be a grandma. I really wish it would get cold and stay cold. The swine flu has everyone worried here. I enjoyed looking at your new pics. Wish you were closer, i bet you have many interesting stories to tell. I will talk to you soon.. Take Care...
There is a streak of gold that runs through Texas. With all the foul
human beings that have come from that state or should I say have
gravitated to the state in search of money such as the Bushes, there
are some grand human beings, native sons and daughters. In the
history of the “good” Texas it begins with Sam Houston. When Texas
seceded from the Union with the other Southern states, Sam stuck with
the United States of America and paid the price. He had to leave the
office of Governor. Later in the twentieth century there was Lyndon
Baines Johnson. An ass kicking politician if there ever was one, but a
dear and soulful man. History will remember the good he did. His wife
Lady Byrd Johnson will be remembered too. Ann Richards the governor of
the state will be recalled as a liberal rallying cry before the state
sunk into the political rot in which it still remains.
And music, well I didn’t really appreciate the Texas kind until later
in my life. I can say that I really never liked country western. I
still do not like a lot of it but there is an old gritty genuine strand
that touches me. The four Texans that influenced me so much began with
Willie Nelson, followed by Lyle Lovett, Joe Ely and Robert Earl Keen,
Junior. Their music hits a nerve in my classical music heart that is
haunting and beautiful. (But I am an American after all.)
Sorry forgot to say was way up beside crainlarich about 5 miles from there, it is where we all meet for early breakfast before we start walk great stuff.
