plans change

Well for all of you that wondered what happened to me here it is. The floods in Illinois caused my train (from Galena to KC I think) to be held up. They were busing the passengers but the trip was already somewhat to long and any delays would mean that I got to Flagstaff to late in the night, so I said screw it - I´ll do the Mexico thing on the way back. An added advantage is that my Spanish will be better. I was able to get 100% of my money back and then left 1 day later on mexicana airlines - $340 for a one way trip with good food and free beer.
