It is also 4 years old and is getting old. We need to look for a new one once we are back up in the States. He also does not use photoshop on his pictures, he will crop them and straighten them and sometimes adjust the lighting but never the colour, that is it though!<br /><br />He does the blog and pictures on a laptop. We bought a Mexico SIM card and pay cash for a pay as you go internet package and use the smart phone for a hotspot when we can't get free wifi.<br /><br /><br />Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-58062003643275833622018-01-14T17:35:09.737-05:002018-01-14T17:35:09.737-05:00Good to know that UBER is working well in Mexico.....Good to know that UBER is working well in Mexico....is it safe to assume it will be in all the cities you will be visiting?Lynnette Khuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15608492676290925231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-34236821359315924172018-01-14T17:32:02.424-05:002018-01-14T17:32:02.424-05:00Kevin must have a great SLR camera as the photos a...Kevin must have a great SLR camera as the photos are excellent esp. the zoomed in ones!

Back home in either Canada or the US, Kevin was told that it was entirely up to you but it was not expected at least that is want a driver told him in Ottawa, I believe many people do though.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-50196701952110135932018-01-12T08:29:38.215-05:002018-01-12T08:29:38.215-05:00Kevin loves it too, he thinks it is so neat that t...Kevin loves it too, he thinks it is so neat that the bill is there on your phone within minutes of exiting the taxi.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-11500512845275722262018-01-12T08:28:17.433-05:002018-01-12T08:28:17.433-05:00It is so nice to see the blue sky after all the mi...It is so nice to see the blue sky after all the miserable weather that we had in Texas.
