River Crossing in Mexico

A small river we were forced to cross because the teachers in Pinotepa are on strike. For the last ten years the teachers of Pinotepa have used this badly planned strategy to forward their cause. Result two hours lost and thousands of people are now against the demands of the teachers. The line of blocked traffic we ran into was 10 km long. Not 0ne person was sympathetic to the teachers demands. We decided to explore the beach roads. After 10 years you would think they would try a different strategy.

Hiding from the Narcos in Mexico

In spite of the news, business forced me to cross into Mexico via Reynosa Tam. The third most dangerous city in the world. All went smooth. Things appear a bit slow and the traffic at an all time low. No gunshots. No Menacing Zetas. Just business as usual. As usual, the only criminals we encountered were the police.  Go Chapo!

Three Days in the Narco Battle of Northern Mexico.
The Score as computed in money spent:
Gas $1200 pesos. 3 tanks
Bribes: $1000 Pesos. 3 cops.

Should we be surprised that so many police are being killed in Mexico?
