Chicxulub is a name that has gained international fame as the site of a genuinely cataclysmic event: in fact, the meteor which fell to earth and destroyed the dinosaurs must surely rate as one of the most significant 5 seconds in the history of our planet:-
![]() Disappointingly, if you go to Chicxulub now, as I have done on several occasions, you won't see any evidence of that spectacular drama. Today there is a shabby fishing-village-come-beach-resort which seems to be dozing through a permanent 24/7 siesta. If you are attentive, you can find an understated monument in the town square, (which you can see again, just left of centre in the second photo) and that's about it. ![]() Say what you like about the Mexicans, but if this was the impact site, they've done a good job of paving it over; it looks as good as new. ![]()

I'm going to be in San Francisco for about a week this summer. I'll be hitting up a show and MOMA, but that's all that I have planned. Any recommendations for cool things to do/good places to eat/good places to trip in public would be nice. 50% chance I'll have a car.

I spent six years in Alcatraz a while back. Overrated.

F*ck fishermans wharf. Not needed. If you do end up going, the only thing that's really cool is the old arcade game museum. Besides Amoeba, try out 1,2,3,4 Go! Records and Rasputin Records. Get yourself some f*cking oysters at Hog Head Oyster Bar. See some music at the Rickshaw Stop. I saw Pile there and it was a cool venue. I didn't go to SF much while I was out there. Steph will have better ideas. |
