Episode 1
Mexico
Stephen Fry crosses Mexico from El Passo in a yellow US school bus, commonly getting its second, hardest career there. Vaqueros (the Original cowboys) and canyons impress him more then the Grand Canyon. In Chihuahua he enjoys the donkey festival and visits the once priceless silver mine at rundown Real Catorce. A proud archaeologist show him the Tutanchalon-like treasures in the Precolumbian capital Teotihuacan near Aztec, colonial and modern metropolis Mexico City. Stephen plays a butler cameo in a telenovela (soapserie) and attends a mass demonstration against the horrible murders in drug wars. Heading for the Pacific coast, he admires the colony of multi-generational monarch butterfly migrations and the brave, yet often studying cliff divers in Acapulco, once a fanciful elite resort.
