It is a huge country and just like so many other countries it's landscape, cities and people are amazing and we see that everywhere that we have traveled. We enjoy showing people what Mexico has to offer because so few really know much about the country, only what the media presents to them.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-39832323430447504592015-01-05T12:15:26.191-05:002015-01-05T12:15:26.191-05:00Yes, the views on our drive were fantastic.

I stopped beside him and asked if he can guide me to the highway towards Zacatecas. He called his boss and it was o.k. It took us 30 minutes to get through town. I gave him then the money for a taxi so he could drive back and doing his job again. Without him I couldn't have made it. I am surprised that the construction work is not finished yet.
