What Kind Of Cage Is Best For A Veiled Chameleon



Good ... good ... after Xico in the State of Veracruz followed the city of Puebla, one of the most important cities to the English conquest. strategically located halfway between the capital "Mexican " and the port of Veracruz is trading city for over 600 years. So important was the city of Puebla to the English built churches in almost every corner. Cholula , its satellite town has 365 churches, one for each day the Gregorian calendar. Such was the eagerness of the conquerors to bury Mexican culture (descended from Aztecs, Mayas, Toltecs, Olmecs , et al.) Who came to build a large Christian church on the basis of highest pyramid of Cholula . Until today days can enter through tunnels the pyramid or you can go upstairs to be closer to God in the church.
In the city of Puebla met many people who helped us to move forward, and that one week was enough for we continue to Tepoztlan, "City of the Sorcerers." The last days boys met the "three crazy cats, which gave us a place in your home, an old abandoned apartment that served this group of talented Argentos travelers.


* Marimbha parbovirus suffered from a disease that had her on the verge of death from a stomach infection. The advance into the vet for 2 Tepoztlan serum days where he recovered and now, a month after has doubled in size.

* Puebla, Puebla.
"Three crazy cats" is a good band of friends, eager to travel, assemble a creative street theater impressive. His works are comic and policies at a time, critics and superficial consumer society, little commitment to the cultural growth of their children. Among irony and laughter entertain children and adults , exposing the political international U.S., its historical imperialism and other forms of control exerted on society, such as excessive materialism and irrational or neoliberal and globalizing pseudoculture Coca Cola Company , or McDonalds.
While one tells the epic episode facing the character in the story microphone in hand, another crazy acts and a third cat creates a climate lap top that controls the sound 6 programs. The genius of climax fruit sends speakers, brilliant ideas that occur to her to give irony and double meaning that we like both the Argentines. More cats are working with different activities so that everything is posible.Su philosophy is to express themselves freely through art to convey a political message, civic and ecological also allowing them to travel to continue learning.
Eager road, as is usual in flagship , we went 5 ta depth to the City of sorcerers. Tepoztlan, located 70 miles south of Mexico (DF ) is at the foot of a spectacular gorge, red typical of dry season in the mountains. There
fell with Raulo and marucha , the three with a cold barbarian, newly arrived from Puebla pointed call to a contact a while ago, about 3 months ago Playa del Carmen.


only took a call asking for help to a stranger, but of those who seem to know of a lifetime. Again making us feel at home met this great friend. The "hairless " Gerardo is a craftsman of the time Argentine cultural exile due to the military government curtail any kind of expression and freedom staff.
This cordobes reached Mexico by land, with his backpack, selling sand landscapes and different glass mounted in necklaces and earrings . Her goal was for the World Cup `86 and what did .
no money, but with tickets in hand to join all parties in the selection of "big nose" Bilardo, the "bald" (Mexican peeling), and spent the final tournament most important football in the world, and that day, at the Estadio Azteca, was rushed successfully on an innocent pit separating him, Diego Armando Maradona holding the World Cup. The "hairless" went around the world with all the stock of `86. Seeing
Boca Juniors , Grand Slam Australia and other rolls we spent 10 days "throwing the eggs" on the grounds of this cordobes friend Dani Monti, our brother Xcaret, Playa del Carmen.

At rest in Tepoz followed the City of Mexico , The " DF", the "defective", the city of Chilangos . Trying to ignore the prejudices thrown on the DF in the rest of the trip, and wanting to forget our experience with JC ( juan carlos the Chompiras ) of Guatemala ', we dove into the road without The Falcon .
decided it would be best to leave the ship and Marimbha as the "bald" with friend " Charly" (another character in Tepoz argento ) and thus avoid incidents with the police others requiring a MECC, the "Verification technique" to move in the Df .
We started hitchhiking at the exit Mexico in less than 15 minutes were making friends with a couple of defense that led us to the door of what was to be our home.
relieved not having to deal with the stressful traffic that stalks the city, not having to worry about finding the right streets one of the largest cities in the world went to Luis Malpica , in the south of the City.


* City of Mexico , everything has a price, advertising Molotov road!
* While Mexico should have its dangerous places, it seemed the city feared that everyone talks about. Even visited "Tepito" the most dangerous neighborhood in the whole country, the place from where he Cautemoc Blanco, the Mexican apache, and we proved dangerous but rather a place of commerce cheap Chinese things in droves, trinkets and meals typical. No photos because we were warned not to bring a camera because of the alleged insecurity. not had any incident, just good friends and some Mexican surrealism.
* Underground Mexico is a giant loop that connects the city to the four cardinal points, and he can spend 1:30 traveling from one end to another.
The City of Mexico is not a city high as one might imagine, there is no downtown high and narrow as that of Buenos Aires. Low-rise buildings and neighborhoods as well-marked social classes are a feature. One avenue may remove excess incredible money you have mexico, poverty typical of asino in capitals.
Since we have used this journey, touched us all. First we fell as of Luisito a guy we met in Veracruz for the holidays. I saw him cross for Christmas at a party with Martin and Danger, I saw the green stripes, yellow and red on his jacket adidas and we got to drink some chelas , talking about music and after a while we were good friends.
* Falcon coupe in the neighborhood "La Condesa" neighborhood that was worn by the sandpipers of "Bridging Latin ......."


Caught between fascism end advertising , accomplices of the current government, allied to the political Yankee and Bagon only for ladies on the subway , we slowly crossing the giant metropolis . Comfortable
at home, were 15 days with Luis and their buddies ( chiriguillis ) with which they meet to make a little reggae chilango . His band is called "Chilaquiles Tomorrow" and with them I had the honor of climbing on stage and play the percussion in a shared concert with three bands. You can hear their own songs in www.chilaquilestomorrow.com and spread some of this music take heart that these good guys.
* Xbox , music, a "bi cuchu love" and a brother in the neighborhood of Los Reyes Coyoacan . "
* Media " amariyisimos" dominate the world of lies at the head of Televisa.
* Arim, the Batac of Chilaquiles, and Luis led us to taste the Huaraches, superb and indescribable, only in the "flea" from DF.

the Showgirl * Paulina Santiago carrying in her womb, Luis and Chivas, FIFA star.
In our visit to Zocalo, the capital's central square Mexica surprised us the dimensions of it where he faces the National Palace with the main Cathedral.
remembered the Metropolitan Church tilted, sunk as being swallowed by the Empire, was buried in its path. Tenochtitlan was built on an island within a lake, then constantly filled Asinar more and more people in the valley. Currently the level again Christian was resented by modern engineering. Interestingly
as would come to be the gardens of the Church lie the remains of the Temple of the Aztecs (Old Government House in the City of Tenochtitlan until 1520, Moctezuma Murder in the hands of Cortes) .


Like our Plaza de Mayo, congregate here do not want to accept now that Mexico is going through. We found a crowd protesting against the Mayor of Mexico City and its people. With harsh accusations, such as be compared to Pinochet, the mass of the left and more liberal of the City spoke out against corrupt conservatives in charge.





* Looking north ...
* Metropolitan Cathedral of Mexico City.



* The spectacular Museum of Fine Arts contains murals by Diego Rivera, Jose Siqueiros among others, who saw no lack of ...., of ... ., in time .... but if we Museum of Anthropology.
already installed in the "Free" a friend who hosted us about 7 days at his home in the neighborhood of Culhuacan, we left the Estadio Azteca, we wanted to know your majesty.



We arrived at the Azteca Stadium Club America, with a capacity of 120,000 people sitting guarding the south of the city.
A construction giant, highly organized, very pretty, with the magic of having received the dribbling of "Diego" and witnessed the hand of "D10S" like the most beautiful goal in the history of football, a neighborhood that lacks please feel localia the club. Nothing more than a few murals on the sides.
is that football is not the same here in Mexico. Unfortunately the money has so much power that has defeated the fans. The clubs are private companies, are the whims of billionaires who play with "play mobiles" to buy and sell players. Try to win the most beautiful game known to man, comparing schools that are quoted on numbers but they are dispossessed of the most important thing is football and life itself, no passion, only trying to motivate his bulky materials contracts and promises, but no glory, no athletic feat hows result of collective effort and teamwork, that is soccer in mexico in my opinion.



* The demand marketin football market, and society in general.
* Arco where "10" became both goals in the England squad.


* El Cerrito, Culhuacan, the summit is the New Fire Temple, sacred place of the Aztecs, which affords the valley, which currently range built by sight.
front of the Temple, facing the city, the church installed a large cross of about 5 meters high and made the Temple in place of ceremonies dedicated to a saint, who idealized in a dream.
So is the outlook in Mexico, English is a strong Christian influence on the aboriginal roots of Mesoamerica wise, now influenced by consumer advertising of its neighbor, the United States.
* Mistli or "puma" in the Mayan language ... but for me was like a reunion with "Zum" Belgian shepherd who accompanied my family for years until one day he came to Mexico City ... . Roommate adventures.


As I was saying, we went to the incredible Museum of Anthropology, who has captured and in a way, concentrated their cultural art aboriginal roots of all ages and from all parts of the country and Mesoamerica in general, in a compound giant.
The museum takes hours and hours on to tour and appreciate the many crafts that have managed to stand the test of time.
most interesting thing that I lived in the museum was learning about "Mexico." More than an expression to refer to the poblanos of these lands, the "Aztecs" were the last. Were those that touched that touch the end fall in love with himself.
The ego of the breed led to imperialism, began to conquer the whole colony that crossed his horizon. Its main business was war, hunting and trade with an important role stretched Mexica territory and exterminated the Olmecs, Toltecs, Aztecs, Mayas, etc., with the passage of time controlled all Mesoamerica, to what is now Guatemala, Belize, and north as much as I could.
The lesson I recited the story again. The Mexica fell on the wheel of cyclic self-centered, of those who believe in the invasion, to master. Suddenly, his empire was so large that the universe gave them a taste of his own medicine. Sent to the English to pay their Karma, to remember that there is always a biggest fish.


* Tenochtitlan from 1300 to 1520, the year when Hernan Cortes kills Montezuma, emperor of the city, captured when he went to visit the English to welcome the god of speaking predictions.


* The jewel of the museum is the famous "Sun Stone" or so-called "Aztec calendar", because the stone was a symbol used not only for them but was central to many Mesoamerican communities.
impreionante work is in the part depth of about 2 meters in diameter. On it affirmed the advanced astrological knowledge of this culture, and also contains the prediction of the "Quinto Sol" in the center. The sun shall be that of the next blow to the human race cionciden with some previous disasters suffered by the planet written in the Bible. Still do not know if it will be as an extermination that humanity will suffer abuse by their nature or if it is as predicted by the Maya, is the beginning of the era of light of humanity in us to rise spiritually lost and cost of large suffering during this dark era would end in 2012.


* The monument to manhood as a source of life, health and fertility.
Culhuacan From humble neighborhood, 2 tedious hours of travel to our area of \u200b\u200bwork, spend just 5 blocks from the restaurant area we attended with our shirts every day.
The third stage began in Mexico City when an unexpected crossover with a girl, we were invited to a party at a house we went that night and we moved in 10 days. The Countess
find our harmony in the City, and were exhausted from 4 hours of transport to make a little money. Now just a few minutes, beautiful parks wave "Palermo" in Buenos Aires, not only green, but by the number of Argentines who are, we were in our workplace. This was very important to our mood so eager to start selling strong buy a couple of bikes. Traveling through this neighborhood
international communities are diverse in the bakery River Plate "Victory" where we took the whims of yerba mate "Canary" or "Sara", with half moons with dulce de leche and covered in powdered sugar.
already in the department of Chia, Wendy, Laura, Anna and Lats, students in a building full of friends, we spent some time getting to know band from different locations. We met so Yonatan, a musician friend who begins a journey in a few months in combi westfalia personalized to Argentina with his family.

Here is the new addition of American flag, with effort and buy first adventure "Little P" (left in photo), and then sold us a Argentina "the Xeneises" (right) in a few pesos for being shocked and abandoned. Loaded with the Peruvian cajon, a new guitar (a gift from Luis Malpica) t-shirts, clothing and books bolides we got to our beach and crossed half the city cycling to reach Tasqueña, terminal south to Tepoztlan again with "The Flurry and the Marimbha. "
After two days with friends in Tepoz, portabicis to assemble our cars and went to route, we went to Teotihuacan to spend the night, but ... patience will come when these pyramids and our trip to the desert in the next entrance is in 15 days or who knows about, THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT and Pura Vida for everyone.
