My Mexican Encounter


Stuffed Llama

Hola...well..there is not much goin on in singapore right now..so let me take you back to my exotic visit to this Mexican village in San Diego...(for geography illiterates San diego is on the border with Mexico) The entire village has been preserved as a heritage spot and is just like a set from one of the old western classics...
Mexican architecture with its spanish influence is really marvelous...the place has everything you might find in Latin America.. right from llamas (tintin fans: remember the spitting llamas in Tintin and the Prisoners of the Sun) to red peppers and colourful sombreros...
There is also a Mexican Bazaar: Bazaar Del Mundo where you can buy all exotic and truly mexican products...must say they really like bright colours!! and to top it all you can nearly 10-20 types of margaritas...really a trip here is just incomplete till you have gulped down a few of these delicious drinks..my favorite is the lemon one....
I think I can certainly get a job now in some travel company...the 'guide' spirit is rising in me...well catch you later till then Adios!!!
