Subject: Punky & Lew in Valle de Bravo, Mexico
Hi Robyn & List: We are in Valle de Bravo, State of Mexico, not far from Mexico City and Toluca. Staying with a Lister, Juan Carlos Ibarra, in his big house overlooking a lake, with green hills all around. This is a very popular place for the rich from Mexico City to have vacation homes and to visit. The climate is moderate, because of the high elevation, like Ajijic, Jalisco. Ajijic has a large retired American/European population. September 15 was Mexican Independence Day. Juan, Punky and I rode about 100 miles to a 500 acres ranch/farm/hacienda of the girlfriend of Juan. There, we joined the family of about 40 in the celebration of Independence Day, food, drinks, fireworks, as well as the 100th anniversary of the ranch/hacienda. It was a very special event to be invited to. They, many of whom spoke English, were all very nice and impressed with our tour. Today, I will change the oil and clean the filters on Critter. We will probably leave here in a couple of days, heading for the Guatemala border on The Pan American Highway. All Mexicans drive like maniacs and so do I. I would rather be in front of them than behind them. I feel it gives me some kind of control and adds to the adventure. Los Angeles freeways and splitting lanes at 80 mph were good training grounds. Riding with Juan is a blast. He is just as nuts as I am. He no longer has a KLR, but wants another one, and now owns a 750 cc Honda Africa Twin. It is a very nice bike, the first one I have seen. They are not sold in the USA. Juan was quite surprised at how well Critter performed and kept up with him. He was often twisting the throttle to the max, weaving in and out of holiday traffic and burning through curves with Critter, Punky and Lew breathing right up his ass. Juan plans to ride the Africa Twin to Ushuaia, Tierra Del Fuego, Argentina in December. Robyn, good luck with the stock values. I understand that the market is falling this morning in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks. Personally, I agree with the Jacksonian opinion of how to retalliate against this terrorism. Pull out all the stops, conduct a take-no-prisoners and show-no-mercy, slash and burn, all out war utilizing all our power and weapons. I hope Americans are sufficiently outraged to do it. However and whatever it takes. No limited warfare please. Korea and Vietnam should have taught us a lesson never to be forgotten. If we have to practice descrimation agains innocent Muslims, in order be safe, then so be it. If we are going to war, then do it right. Bomb Afghanistan and Iraq into oblivion and help them go the their wonderful place with honor and peace in their afterlives. Let the Israeli's do what they want with their enemies. Hunt Bin Laden down, capture, imprison and torchure him in the most painful ways possible, until he dies a natural death. Pardon my rant, but I am pissed. All is well with Punky, Lew and Critter. Later.
Love to Robyn and best regards to The List, Punky & Lew
