It's always an experience struggling for understanding. Wish I'd worked harder at Spanish!<br>After Sta Dom Tehpec I headed for Juchitan de Zaragoza.

The local buses in Mexico are terrific, dirt cheap, on time, clean &amp; extremely comfortable just like our luxury coaches at home, which is just as well as we spent a lot of time on them. Great time to start to get to know the other people on the tour 15 in total including us. A mix of juniors &amp; geriatrics......leave it to you to decide which group we came under ! The Mayan ruins was something we both were really keen to explore and we ...

Well no trip report from MX would be complete with out a discussion on Topes. We North Americans would refer to them as Speed bumps. If you drive in Mexico you will quickly learn not to ignore any sign that looks like or is spelled like tope. I have seen them called Tope, Tope, Topas, and Reductors. All are designed with one thing in mind, to slow traffic or create and accident if you don´t slow. They are made ...

On to Puerto Arista, a relative metropolis, plenty of shops, some of them even open! Out of high season seaside towns tend to only fully open at weekends when the city dwelling Mexican hordes descend. Found a nice little place near a smelly lagoon and not far from the beach, but sadly, as often happens in Mexico, the workers started banging around at 6am - because it´s really hot later, they start work early but with no concern for their sleeping clients.

Just a stop over in this small town, where a Saturday night is spent drinking until falling asleep in the streets. It was quite funny arriving there so late, everyone just coming to us so drunk and talking to us and then after one hour seeing them sleeping outside. This time has not much apart from good hot dogs, we went to eat them at a stand where they were showing a Mexican boxing game, and i had to stasy the whole 11 rounds and cheer up with the locals...

... Margo and Vern towing their 5th wheelers. This beachside town rarely visited by gringos gave us a real taste of how the Mexicans spend their weekend on the beach. We spent Sunday afternoon under a palapa watching the kids mess around on the beach, sipping $1 cervesas (Corona) and sampling the different sweet and savoury delights that the local vendors were hawking at the tables. The Fish empanadas were delicious and cheap too. There were no ...

... map, and we knew to go the entrance of the city and look for a certain restaurant, and then to go down the street and ask for the Castillo family. So we found some Castillos but the guy seemed to not remember the names of his nephews that had gone "to the other side" or "al Norte" (to the North). So we continued on to the other ...

... and Burro Verde for the Chevy truck, which, after taking a licking by Katrina on the coast, has proven herself to be tougher than ever, forging up steep mountain roads and dusty beach roads as she carries a heavy load comprised of nearly all our gear. One improvement we could make to blend in better with the locals would be to stack some pollo crates on top or our vehicles. We'll be looking for these... We decided to pack it ...
