I wasn’t sure what I was going to do when I got up this morning. After considering it for 10 seconds I opted to stay here for the day. Glad I did.

Had my first ever television interview today! I was sitting in a park using the free wireless internet (wish more places had this) when a guy comes over and asks in English if I’d mind doing an interview. He asked all kinds of questions about where I’ve been, where I’m going and how I’ve liked Mexico. This interview went much better then the newspaper interview I had. I don’t even think I looked at the camera once. Then they had me jump on my bike for an action shot. Boy am I glad I didn’t crash into anything or fall. I’ll keep my Google Alert emails on just in case it makes it to their web site.

Did a lot more riding today. I had totally forgotten about this but when I saw it I was just amazed. There’s a massive 284 year old aqueduct stretching almost a mile across the city. It has 75 arches, each 65 feet wide at an average height of 75 feet. It’s one of the most impressive looking man-made objects I’ve seen on my trip. Saw a lot of other magnificent looking buildings and statues around the city. I could stay here for days and still miss things I’m sure.

For the last day I’ve been afraid of being deported back to the States because of how bad my shirt smells. The guy at the front desk, at the very affordable Hotel San Francisco, pointed me over to a laundry mat so I should be safe now.

Also went back to the bike shop to get a new tube. I have 3 spares but presta valve ones are hard to find so I bought the only one they had. It’s one of those self-healing tubes with slime inside. I’ve never used one before so we’ll see how it does. Grabbed some new rear brake pads too.

My knee is back to 100%. The guy I met a week ago at the side of the road passed a nice cold onto me when we shook hands so I just got over that. Glad to be healthy again.

I miss my Canon 40D a lot. It’s almost like I’m doing a disservice to the things I’m taking pictures of because they usually look distorted, washed out or flat. The Pentax was so much better than this Olympus I have now. Then again I saw an American on the boat over to the Isla de Janitzio a few days ago and he looked pretty obnoxious with his monster camera and lens.
