Firstly, the answer to the obvious question: no there wasn't one single Paris Hilton style dog sighting over two days. Secondly, apart from the good company of some hilarious Mexicans, two days was about 47 hours too long.There are nice enough, old style buildings in the centre and there is good street food - like plastic cups of sweetcorn, mayo, cheese, lime and chilli. But nothing in either department to match some of this country's other cities. I did make the effort and visit the old pad of Pancho Villa - bandit turned revolutionary - who was murdered Kennedy style in the back of a motorcadce. Perhaps the most interesting display was a glut of weapons used in the uprisings.
Other highlights were a strange cultural mix of watching baseball (like every team I support, the Dorados were murdered, 11-2), a visit to a bar with a museum glued to its roof (La Rocca) and playing guitar hero on the Wii with the guys I stayed with.
Probably not enough to justify the stay, although I did take on the challenge of cooking an Indian chicken curry. Well, they asked for a traditional English meal and I couldn't see Yorkshire puddings really working.
