This blog is about planning and preparation for a circumnavigation of the world in a 39-foot sail boat followed, hopefully, by a diary of the actual circumnavigation. You can track the progress of Pachuca by visiting http://www.pangolin.co.nz/xtras/yotreps/tracker.php?ident=VNW5980

Bike Ride

I rode the bicycle to the other end of town to have a key duplicated and found myself in the lunch hour trap: it was 3.15 PM and the place was closed 2-4 PM.  It was a nice day so I decided to keep heading east along Revolution to have a look around.

It turned out to be a very pleasant part of town, which I would describe as elegant and leafy residential.

Only a few blocks into my exploration I came across the La Paz's Alliance Francaise building.

I couldn't resist photographing the sign posts of street names with social/political significance.  Forget street names like "Elm" or "Seaview" - the old town has  names of significance such as  "Benito Juarez", "Miguel de Legaspy", "5 de Febrero", "5 de Mayo", "16 de Septiembre", "Reforma", "Independencia", "Constitucion", ....
