Mexican contradiction

This letterbox just north of calle Homero says it:

"The Post, image of the country"

The Mexican Express Post service is quite good, but the image of this letterbox is Fail.

Welcome to Mexico City

Only 20 hours and one plane change away -now we live in Mexico City.

The trip itself was reasonably easy and everything worked just fine. Nothing unpleasant or unplanned, but it did take a considerable physical effort to move almost 60 kilos of luggage and a lively 10-year old to a place thousands of kilometres away.

And there it was Jenn, waiting for us at the end of the quest. Or at the beggining of it.

September is...

National Pie Month.

I've had some of them - from the "chicken and white wine" pie in the Paragon Hotel in Katoomba (superb) to the humble steak and kidney in Harry's Cafe de Wheels (very yum after a night on the booze)

But the good ones are few and far between - the vast majority are inedible cholesterol bombs and outright dangerous to your health.

Like those sad looking pies in the warm cupboard of your nearest pub. I went without pies for may years due to a really bad experience with one of those sneaky bastards.

A pie that is not freshly baked or that has been frozen at some stage or that comes out of a wrapper, is crap.
