We enjoyed Mexico's hospitality, and now we're back in the states spreading the joy of living south of the border!

Worse than a Michigan Left

Never ones to plan a boring weekend, Dave & I spent over 6 hours in his new Nissan Impala navigating the unpredictable roads of Mexico City & its environs. Ok, so Dave drove and navigated, and I mainly watched the sights speed by. Well, sometimes speed by. Other times, it seemed we were perpetually stuck in traffic. There were a few things working against us:
A malfunctioning GPS with outdated maps
street signs completely in Spanish (including Spanish abbreviations)
absolutely no knowledge of where we were going!
Eventually, we did find our way from the airport to the Mexico City Christian Academy and from there to Toluca. Thankfully we were very happy to be together, because constantly turning around, getting lost again, getting stuck in traffic again, and then trying another road would have made anyone else nutty!
But it was a great way to see the city (almost all of it!).
