Driving in Mexico: Jennifer Talks about Mexico and the US

In this video, Jennifer talks about how the guidebooks misrepresent parts of Mexico (or fail to represent Mexico at all). Why are all the photos so boring when Mexico itself is such a beautiful and interesting place? And why is everyone so scared of driving here? ...

Driving in Mexico: Offroading in the Prius

In early 2017 when we drove from Guanajuato to Monterrey on our way back to the United States, we encountered some traffic. We kept watching cars go off into the ditch, but they were all bigger vehicles that could handle offroading. Finally, when we saw a few little cars go along the dirt road, we went for it (in our Toyota Prius). John still says that we got "really lucky" in making it, since we could've ...

Driving in Mexico: Rubber Chicken Squaks

When we were in Guanajuato we bought 40+ rubber chickens from a nice farming family on the outskirts of town. We had intended to go to the Cristo Rey statue, but we ended up buying rubber chickens and spending some time with the family (they were all there, since they evidently all spent time together every Sunday afternoon) on their farm where they grew onions and peppers. On our way back to the United ...

Altar to San Judas Tadeo

On our way from Monterrey to Nuevo Laredo we stopped alongside the road to take a bathroom break (there aren't many bathrooms or convenience stores between Monterrey and Nuevo Laredo). When we stopped, we found this altar to San Judas Tadeo (Judas Thaddeus) next to a fenced in area with chickens and a rooster. It looked like it was being actively managed by someone, although there didn't appear to be any ...

Traveling with Pets: Garfield Wants Out

He's a pretty good travel cat, but even poor Garfield has moments where he really doesn't like sitting in his cat bag... We have some sleepy treats on hand though that work wonders for the kitties. They're a must have item if you're driving with cats or taking them on a plane (or any form of transport, for that matter). The ones we have are herbal and chewable. ...

Driving in Mexico: “Free-for-All” Highway

In this video we're driving in Mexico right outside of Dolores Hidalgo when we encounter a portion of "free-for-all" highway where cars drive wherever they want. There aren't any lines on the road and no indication of where cars are supposed to drive. This didn't last for very long before we got back to normal highway driving (which is fairly familiar and simple).Related Posts:Driving in Mexico: ...
