Customs in Mexico is, hmm... how can I put this in perspective? We all know about the "random" searching that goes on in American airports. Here, you walk into customs, and the first person you see signs your tourist document, stamps your passport, and explains to you in Spanish something very important that you will hopefully understand. (If you ever go to Mexico, don't throw out that little stub of paper.) Put the bag(s) through the conveyor belt machine. Collect bag(s). Then, the fun part: Walk up to the stoplight and press the button. If it turns green, you can "pase". If it turns red, you and your bag(s) will be searched. It's almost more fun than fortune cookies and horoscopes... assuming it turns green!
We're staying at a really nice hotel (just for tonight) with a pool, and an outdoor patio that gets a nice breeze from the lake next to it. Did I mention that it's a lovely 65 degrees here at night?
Tomorrow, we'll be hiking in the low 80s to a park called La Venta. I'm not sure what exactly we'll see when we get there, but I'll have the cameras ready for anything. I'm already going through my equipment tonight and getting the bag packed for tomorrow, the batteries charged, and the tapes and memory cards ready.
That's about it for now. Tomorrow starts at "0-800 hours".

Too bad you are going to have to rough it. Forecast for Central Indiana is 26 degrees and snow.
You missed the 1/4 inch of ice (via sleet pellets in your eyes) and almost 2 inches of snow on top of it. Lucky for you. Let's see some pics!!! Technical difficulities?
