Driving Mexico – Ajijic – Chapala to Laredo and Return

Posted by Don & Linda Wright in Untagged 

Don & Linda Wright

We always enjoy driving and exploring various parts of Mexico. Even though we have made the above trip many times, we never tire of the scenery. Some friends do the whole trip in a day but we don’t like or recommend driving the dark for a variety of reasons, so typically make one overnight stop and take about 1 ¼ to 1 ½ days.  Monterrey, Saltillo, San Luis Potosi or Matehuala are good stopping points- the first 3, interesting cities to visit.

Business climate is king again in Latin America

Posted by Luis Miranda in Untagged 

Luis Miranda

According to a Reuters analysis.

Latin America, business climate is king again.

The countries expected to grow the fastest in 2012 are also generally the ones that are perceived by the World Bank and others as treating investors the best. That means Chile, Peru and Colombia should lead the pack, while Venezuela and even Brazil will lag a step behind - just as they did last year.
