Parking security tower
Une tour de surveillance au milieu d un parking de supermarché, surement pour la securité des bagnoles garées dans le coin. On dirait un peu une cabane de Maitres nageurs sur une plage americaine.
A security tower on a Shopping mall parking in Saltillo. It kinda looks like a “Baywatch shack” on a Californian Beach!

One day in Monterrey
Nous avons passe une journee dans la grande ville du Nord du Mexique: Monterrey. Apres le passage par un musee sur l histoire mexicaine pour nous rafraichir la memoire (civilsations mayas, azteques, independance, revolution mexicaine...), nous avons flané dans cette ville dynamique qui est aussi la plus riche du pays (une des rare ville a posseder un metro par exemple) avec un pole universitaire important.
We spent a day in the largest city of northern Mexico: Monterrey. After going to a Mexican History Museum in order to be more familiar with the country (maya and aztec civilization, independance, mexican revolution...), we just wandered around in this dynamic city which is one of the richest city of the country (one of the few mexican cities having a subway).

Saltillos Nightlife
Voila deux photos de nos deux nuits en club a saltillo. Le premier etait un club de danse salsa super classe, avec des mexicains jouant de la musique cubaine plus vraie que nature. Le second, etait un club tout ce qu il y a, semble t il, de plus classique ici, avec de la musique typique, que l on entend a chaque coin de rue. Une anecdote amusante: cette musique quelque peu traditionnelle est aujourd'hui trés influencée par les mafia locales, dont les chefs sont souvent les heros de chansons populaires.
From underground cuban style to mainstream cowboy style country mexican music, our nights have been surely animated in saltillo, where the cultural latin variety shows in clubs as well than in the streets.

Arrival to Northern Mexico / Saltillo
Après 6 heures de bus entre San Antonio et Monterrey, le passage de la frontiere et la traversée de paysage desertiques, nous retouvons Daniel notre pote mexicain. Cela fait quasi 3 ans que nous ne sommes pas vu mais l amitié ne semble pas avoir pris une seule ride. Il nous amène donc à Saltillo, sa ville natale, dans le nord du pays, une « petite » ville tranquille de 800 000 habitants au milieu des montagnes. Nous profitons de cette semaine a Saltillo pour prendre la temperature du pays, rencontrer les amis et la famille de Daniel et nous poser un peu avant de repartir vers le sud. Petites visites, spécialités mexicaine et fete familiale sont au programme.
After a 6 hours bus drive from San Antonio to Monterrey through desert-like landscapes, we finally meet Daniel our dear mexican buddy. Its been almost 3 years since we last saw each other but our friendship stayed really strong. He brings us to Saltillo, his home town, in the North of Mexico, a little quiet city of about 800 000 inhabitants surrounded by mountains. We spend a week there just enjoying the local atmosphere, , meeting the friends and family of Daniel and getting some rest before heading south. Our stay includes among others some sightseeing, Mexican specialties and family gathering.
