All transport and accomodation is paid for, I need to know how much to take for food/drink and activities such as tours around famous sites, museums, snorkelling, boat trips etc.

It really depends on where you will be… touristy and urban areas are more expensive for things such as food, taxis, and the like.

But, one of the great things about Mexico is that you can spend as much or as little as you want, really.

If you plan to be conservative, you can totally live in Mexico for about as little as $5 a day. If you don't want to eat street food, but still want to stay on a tight budget, $10 a day would suffice. If you really want to experience EVERYTHING, I would suggest closer to $20-$30 a day.

I've spent $400 in a month… and $400 in three days… it just depends on what you plan to do and where you will be.

Give me a little more information about where you will be and I can give you some specifics. :)

Mountain Hardwear Sunrise 50 Degree Sleeping Bag

0º bags are great for winter ski tours but they just won’t work for a sea kayaking trip in Mexico or June backpack in Zion. That’s why the Mountain Hardware Sunrise 50 Sleeping Bag is such a great alternative. High quality 600 fill power down is used for insulation, plenty to keep you warm in mild conditions. And because the down is so compressible and lightweight it stuffs into a space saving 5 x 12 inch storage sack, ideal for those who want to travel as light as possible..

El Arte de Convivir y la Cortesia Social

?In the second volume of her “Art of Living Together” series, Mexico’s image and etiquette diva lays out the rules for behaving graciously at home and in public. Vargas begins with interactions between couples, suggesting that spouses make an effort to spend vacation time alone together, read a good sex book, and do each other small favors. She then moves on to other family relations (children, in -laws) and to various social interactions, such as at school, at parties, and while traveling. Vargas leavens the book’s many lists with humor and with reprints of her popular newspaper column. One of these reprints discusses the emergence of “the new woman” who balances family and work. Vargas’s book is surprisingly cosmopolitan for the most part; its advice applies as well to life in the United States as in Mexico.? ? Publishers Weekly

Houses in Time

Houses in Time
“Houses in Time” is like no other book on New Mexico architecture. While it pays homage to the legacy of adobe, the book also acknowledges the role of newcomers who built houses in a dizzying array of styles. Featured in handsome photographs accompanied by brief, informative essays are eighty-eight houses from all over the state, beginning with prehistoric pueblo dwellings and encompassing adobes, bungalows, ranch houses, and a variety of unique structures, the most recent of which are a passive solar rammed earth dwelling and an owner-built house constructed with the help of Habitat for Humanity. Also included are a glossary and bibliographic essay.
