Hi everyone. Had a pretty uneventful week so not much to report. Betty tried, without success ufortunately, to find a dressmaker here for me as I have found some beautiful dress fabric. Anybody know anyone in Norn Ireland who can make up dresses?
That was the bad news . The good news is that I have lots of plans made:D
This afternoon we are off to Veracruz Puerto and Gran Hotel Diligencias for the weekend and Betty's Tri-athlon on Sunday.
If we survive that: the next weekend we are staying with Betty's sister and her family in Xalapa which is the Capital city of Veracruz state - about an hour and a half from Cordoba.
I will leave Cordoba on Monday 5/9, go to D.F. and then,on Tuesday 6/9, Dulce and I are going to Acapulco! How exciting is that?
It's about a 5 hour journey by bus. I've booked us into Emporio Acapulco Hotel which is right on the beach in the middle of the strip - and the one thing I really want to do when we're there is to see the cliff divers. Dulce's been there before so she'll be a great guide, as always.
Then it'll be back to Mexico City for Dulce's birthday and, as it's Independence Day on 16/9, DD, BB and I are spending 2 nights, my treat, in Gran Melia Hotel on Reforma. There are 2 main Avenues in D.F.which intersect the city: Insurgentes and Reforma. We'll be close to the Zocalo where, on 15th September, from a balcony in Palacio Nacional, the President delivers 'el grito' - Hidalgo's call to arms 201 years ago made from the steps of a church in Dolores Hidalgo in Guanajuato state.
I leave Mexico for home on the 18th and hope to be back in " the oul' sod" on the 19th, all being well, via Amsterdam and Dublin.
However - more posts and pics to come - 3 more weeks left - and 3 more hotels. How I love hotels!
Watch this space.....x
