Finished reading: Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut π
A really interesting read. Felt like an exploration of PTSD. Iβd be very interested to know where the autobiographical bits end and the fiction begins.
Stopped at a taco restaurant the other night and had what I think could be the meal of the trip. From now on, I would like all my meats cooked al pastor.
DΓa de los Muertos in Mexico City
We arrived in Mexico City on 1st November and thought we would go and have a look around to see what went on. Fortuitously, we’d decided to stay in CoyoacΓ‘n which had shut down block upon block for the duration. The streets were packed with β¦

Some great universe building here, really enjoyable novel and I’m looking forward to more!

Travels in Guatemala π¬πΉ
The next destination on our journey was Guatemala. This is by a long shot the most beautiful place I’ve ever been. Sitting and watching volcanoes spit smoke whilst having breakfast is a very novel experience. With a lot of volcanoes comes a lot β¦
Next stop: Costa Rica π¨π·
Next on our travels was Costa Rica. We immediately became acquainted with the concept of Pura Vida and saw some of the most amazing wildlife I’ll likely ever get the chance to.

Today I discovered Concert Archives and now Iβm going to lose myself to filling in my concert history so I donβt need to try and remember anymore. I can feel a headache coming already
Iβve had the riff to this stuck in my head for some time now. Astonished to learn the band donβt really like this album, itβs one of my favourites.

Adventures in Peru π΅πͺ
Our big trip started with a couple of weeks in Peru. I really loved the time we spent there, it was non-stop action.
We started in Barranco, a small neighbourhood on the outskirts of Lima where we got a taste for Ceviche and local beer. We even β¦

Plane Watch #3: Nice dramatic Sci-Fi. Thought it was well acted all round and the premise is right up my street.
Months/years of planning, more admin than you could imagine plus leaving our jobs has led us to this! Weβre off on adventure βοΈ
