There are 2 400meter ropes that need a ride to/near SLP before the first
of February. If anyone is headed south through Austin or San Antonio I
can get the rope to you and let ya know who to get it to.

This post is intended for gringo cavers who plan to go caving south
of the border.
I found a great way to improve your Spanish.
National Geographic sells DVD video documentaries in a Spanish format.
You can get them at HEB at the border towns. They cost 99 pesos.
I presume the English U.S. versions have a Spanish setting, but what is unique
about these videos is that the Spanish spoken exactly matches the subtitles
as the speaker is speaking.
Unfortunately, the sound is just dubbed over the English.
Also, to the best of my knowledge the narrators sounds like they are from
northern Mexico, so you will be learning the language as it is spoken in
many areas near the border. I will let someone else confirm that, but
I am pretty sure they are not from Spain, Cuba, or South America.
The quality of the sound and picture are very good, at least on my old tube TV.
