Unfortunately we think it will take a long time before we really notice a difference, at least in this neck of the woods. We have certainly seen a huge improvement in the more northern part of Mexico and in many big towns and cities.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-12142129368030587452019-02-05T08:21:59.351-05:002019-02-05T08:21:59.351-05:00Halfway already - time goes so fast - especially w...Halfway already - time goes so fast - especially when you’re having fun!!!!!Connie and Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07324923679408549696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-72955693788750852452019-02-04T23:21:49.987-05:002019-02-04T23:21:49.987-05:00You are in the perfect place to continue on to see...You are in the perfect place to continue on to see the Yucatan and you will not regret doing so.

We do not think that the Yucatan is worth the extra effort, but that's just our opinion. Others love the constant baking heat! We prefer to be inland in the mountains. Is highway 200 safe for solo travelers? Well, we think so, but it depends on what type of traveler you are. Do you do lots of research so you know the route, or do you just wing it? Do you plan your next stop so that you are confident of your plan? Or do you just go with a paper map and stop at Pemex gas station for the night? If you are an experienced traveler, you are unlikely to have any serious problems in Mexico.Kevin Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795747155781311686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-42323544733024151312019-02-04T20:02:26.322-05:002019-02-04T20:02:26.322-05:00We have been following your blog and it gave us th...We have been following your blog and it gave us the desire to discover Mexico with our 24ft motorhome. We are presently at Isla Aguada and wondering if we should visit Yucatan and quintana Roo or cut that part out and go down to Huatulco and follow the coast up to Puerto Vallarta . In your opinion is it safe for solo travelors on highway 200? Acapulco area? Kinda of overwhelmed at the moment .<br />Sunny Breakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12500537869723447880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-30980762358462475592019-02-04T15:12:03.148-05:002019-02-04T15:12:03.148-05:00We were offline for a week while we were down at M...We were offline for a week while we were down at Mazatlan and PV, and thinking of you all.

Does the same thing happen in RV parks or where you are parked without hookups? In Mazatlan, a couple years ago, the purified water venders came by at least once a day at the airbnb we stayed at. We only drank purfied water. We were told 20 years ago Baja water is safe to drink out of the tap, so is San Carlos, but south of San Carlos only drink purified water.Myrl & Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17548993971891280980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-88314102986832930952019-02-04T10:35:15.974-05:002019-02-04T10:35:15.974-05:00Basura is all over the world unfortunately.

We were forever picking up trash along the beach. One of my wife's associates, who was born in Panama, claimed that it was a "Latin thing".
