Tags >> Driving in Mexico
Our first album of photos from this trip was on the Veracruz area. We started about 10:30am on Fri. April 17,09 and made better time than expected on the excellent highways between Guadalajara and Mexico City and therefore decided to push on to Puebla on day one. Five O'Clock, through Mexico City was a challenge. We had never driven through it before but after about 2 ½ hours, darkness had fallen and we were on the outskirts and our way to Puebla.

Linda & I just returned from a 10 day drive from Ajijic, along the north shore of Lake Chapala to LaBarca, then onto the hwy. 15 Cota (Toll) road to Mexico City, then on to Puebla. A great city where we spent 3 days, then a short driving day to Veracruz for another 3 days.
Twelve years of fun, joy, excitement, amazingly consistent weather, meeting really interesting friendly people (foreigners and locals), traveling to nearby fascinating towns and cities. That is a synopsis of our time in the Lakeside area since 1996.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico has become one of the most popular tourist resort destinations in the world. Because Vallarta is located along the Mexican Riviera on the Pacific Ocean, a substantial portion of these tourists arrive by boat; the majority in large cruise ships, however many come in their private yachts.
There are so many exciting places to visit in the world. Many are better to visit than to live but that depends on your critera for a retirement or 2nd home location.

1-You can not safely drink the water or eat the food !
We have visited various parts of Mexico since the ‘70s and owned in Ajijic - Chapala since '96 and traveled more. In the late 70's a group of about 150 went out for a evening cruise and party off Acapulco. It turned out that over ½ got Montezuma's Revenge. That was the 70's. The next year we went to Cancun. No one got sick. And (touch wood) in all the years since, we have not nor have many of the hundreds of friends and acquaintances.
Even though we have thousands of Americans, Canadians and other foreigners living in the Ajijic / Chapala area in harmony with the friendly Mexicans, these are names that bring wonderment to many north of the US -Mexican border.
There are a few travel requrements for Mexico that are needed before heading down to the country.If you want to travel to Mexico, without knowing what you need to gointo Mexicoor learning how to get around, you may have a difficult time , it may be too much for you and very tiresome. This is the reason you need to figure out what these travel requirements for Mexico are before you head out the door.
