Try drinking coffee on a bus on a bumpy Mexican road. I managed not to wear it, but it was close.
I'm on a bus to Chichen Itza. My pickup was at 7:30, but we did the rounds of the hotels till 9:30 when we finally hit the road. At least we were provided with a breakfast because I didn't have time for it before I left.
3 hours wasn't really enough for such a fascinating place. Our tour guide, who is of Mayan descent, was excellent. He was extremely knowledgable and articulate. The visit was cut a bit short by a little rain squall, but it was time for lunch anyway.
The Cenote was a short stop of 40 minutes. Didn't seem worth the effort of changing for so short a swim.
Got back to the hotel at 8, 13 hours after I left, only to find I'm booked for a nightclub till 3 am.

- David Berlinski: A Tour of the Calculus
It took me 15 yearrs but I finally finished this. Don't ask me to explain it. You don't have to understand everything, it's mostly a history of how the calculus was developed. (*****) John Le Carre: Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
old book revisited (*****)Sharon Stiteler: Disapproving Rabbits
Not quite as funny as the Bunny Suicides or Bad Cat, but for bunny aficionados, it's a must. Hermione and Nala Disapprove. (****)The Science Fiction Hall of Fame, Volume Two A: The Greatest Science Fiction Novellas of All Time Chosen by the Members of The Science Fiction Writers of America (SF Hall of Fame)
I've never read much science fiction. Maybe never hit the right books. But this anthology was a "best of" and I enjoyed pretty much all of them, though the last in the collection was pretty much a downer. (****)Peter Nichols: Evolution's Captain: The Dark Fate of the Man Who Sailed Charles Darwin Around the World
An absolutely fascinating book. (*****)Christopher Paolini: Eragon (Inheritance, Book 1)
A bit derivative, but considering it was written by a teenager, quite an accomplishment. It will be interesting to see wha this writer does when he's older. (****)Robert K. Massie: Romanovs:, The: The Final Chapter
Grim, but interesting. (****)Gregory Maguire: Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West
