Antiquities

Definitely Old

Sometimes technology just moves too fast, and before you know it your devices are now ridiculous and you're old. As of today I still have to use my VHS to record stuff from telly and watch later. Strangely enough, DVR's or other devices are difficult to procure where I live, they're only available through TV service provider at ridiculous prices. Nobody sells VHS tapes any more, so I must hang on to the few ones I've got. The Betamax is also operational, it has been saved to transfer all the family stuff recorded in those tapes to a more modern format; but I have failed to find the patience to perform such errand.

Three landscapes

Fields near the mountainous woods of Mazamitla

Islets in a semi-deserted beach in Michoacán

The quaint city of Guanajuato

Just exemplifying again the wildly different landscapes that can be found in the region. Sadly the ever increasing reports violence in the zone has steered travellers away from these lands, specially for the first two. Sadder is that it is probably perfectly safe for anyone to go there; all there is is fear.
