valla de alambre de púas: It means barbed wire fence in Spanish

As you may or may not be aware, I usually do not appear as a regular feature in my photos, except for special cases. This happens to be a very special case, as I've recently sustained some gnarly lacerations and other wonderful and interesting injuries! It happened on Friday, September 19th, 2008, and from now on, I might just have some permanent reminders of my adventure and subsequent rapid descent into a rusty mire of sharpened rusted wire. Me, a colleague from work, and three friends decided to go to the eco-tourism park here in Ciudad Guzman, which features a mountain with a paved path, so that you may drive instead of actually climbing the mountain. Anyways, It was after midnight, so the only source of light was the lights of the city far below us, and the occasional passing vehicle. I ventured towards the edge of the cliff we were standing to get a better view, when I lost my footing. I wasn't frightened immediately, since there was a retaining fence I could make out in the dark. What I didn't realize, was that this fence was made entirely out of rusty barbed wire. So, imagine my surprise when I became hopelessly tangled in it with the help of gravity. No it did not hurt, but it did bring about a rather hasty end to the nights festivities.

I have returned after a bout with my Internet Service Provider, "Telecable" (pronounced "Tele-Cah-Blay"), in which they terminated my service for a small infraction they choose to term "non-payment". The internet is back on in the house, and I promise to go more places and document them. Only one small difficulty, I don't feel at liberty as shooting thousands of photos all day in the middle of the cities here in Mexico as I did in Spain, because the people are much more polite here. If that sounds weird, I didn't mind annoying the Spanish folk because more often than not they were not polite, and so I felt an impunity to infringe upon any expectation of privacy, or to cause any type of upset the normal order of things. This does not include the time I was caught taking a photo of ultra-modern looking urinals in Berlin by a stereotypically stoic German official of some sort. You can have the offending picture upon request.
