Driving in Mexico
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? ...
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.

When we stopped, we found this altar to San Judas Tadeo (Judas Thaddeus) next to a fenced in area with chickens and a rooster.

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. ...
