swim training starts!

I´ve signed up to swim the Coniston End to End event on 6th September. It´s 5.25miles or 8.5km - and it might be a bit cold! So I´m getting into training now. Going on my speed at the moment, I might be able to do it in about 5 hours -- but we´ll see if I can speed up a bit before then!

I´ll be raising money for Latin Link, so if you´d like to sponsor me, go to http://www.justgiving.com/Suzanne-Potter1.

Puebla

Here´s a few pics of my recent trip to Puebla in Mexico. I wasn´t very well - so spent a fair bit of time resting in the hostel - but when I did get out, there´s some great skylines....

 From the roof of a museum....



  And a few churches in neighbouring Cholula






And the 2 guys about to do their upside-down-twirl-to-the-ground-from-a-very-high-pole thing. It´s a traditional Mayan thing that they do in the north of Guatemala as well. I´ve got a great video of it... but unfortunately it doesn´t want to upload!
