It is a pretty city to visit and people then have time to get some much needed groceries and there is a great Telcel Client Service place there so that everyone can get set up with data and phone that need it before heading on down the road to Zacatecas where these things are harder to do because nothing is close by.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-39145904655972957692018-01-18T10:30:03.548-05:002018-01-18T10:30:03.548-05:00That's what we love about Mexico, none of all ...That's what we love about Mexico, none of all that crap!

By the end of this year it should be fully rolled out down here in Mexico. We do have a list of stations that are supposed to carry it so we try to check our route and see if there are any available along our route so that they can fill up with it. One unit carries about 5 big gas canisters along with them for back up and the other truck has an external tank. When you come next year you shouldn't have any problems finding it.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-41591135410443392482018-01-18T09:54:11.220-05:002018-01-18T09:54:11.220-05:00We will be looking forward to it as well, providin...We will be looking forward to it as well, providing that we do decide too do it again, that is. ;-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-51696654857705370792018-01-18T09:38:04.141-05:002018-01-18T09:38:04.141-05:00It seems that it is mostly at the beginning of thi...It seems that it is mostly at the beginning of this tour that seems too rushed and it sounds like they will add in a few more free days on next year's tour which we think is necessary otherwise people will get sick and not enjoy the trip as much.
