[Debconf-discuss] Getting ready for the daytrip



Ok, so the daytrip is getting closer! 

We are going [1] to Xochicalco [2, 3] and Cuernavaca [4]. Xochicalco
is a 2200 year old city, with traces of many different cultures that
inhabited Mexico along all that time. It is probably our most
important archeological site, and well worth a visit.

Some useful tips in order for you to enjoy it, and to get you back alive and well:

- Use sunblock! The archeological site excursion lasts between 2 and 3
  hours - Plenty of time not only to get a tan, but a huge sunburn.
- Get a hat. Really. A baseball hat, a mariachi sombrero, or anything
  in between. It will help tremendously to keep water inside your
  body. It will also prevent your face (and your head, for those of us
  with less than enough hair) from getting a sunburn.
- Take water along. How much? Up to you. I advise 3-5 liters. You
  might want to take along a small backpack to carry it.
- We will quite probably have a late lunch, at around 16:00 - Have a
  late breakfast as well, or take something to eat when you get
  half-hungry.
- The bus trip is long, between 90 minutes and 2 hours. If you went
  too late to sleep the night before, don't worry and come along - you
  will have opportunity to sleep on the way :) We will have guides on
  board explaining stuff regarding the places we go through, so the
  people who does not fall asleep has also an interesting ride ;-)

... Further information will follow.
