Is Mexico Safe? - Page 779

Last year in Durango, in connection with the Mexico BMW rally, riders were returning to the city from a day trip when, tragically, a child ran into the street and was fatally struck by one of the bikes.

Insurance is sometimes a theoretical subject. But when something very bad happens, it's your net between the bridge and the water.

They're starting to make a list for departure. The Yucatán mood around Casa Tricepilot is like this:

Then I turn around a couple weeks later, and, by moto, return to México with los perros sucios

I think I'll have some moto shirts made up with that

But If you know the rancher who has the agave and if you know the mescalero who is cooking it, you will get a superior product. It is also good to be there when it is being made just to enjoy the process. We are seeing some good agave lately and I expect there will be some quality product coming in late January. I have some 3 year triple distilled left but not much, I'll save you a taste. [/QUO

Damn Tom, you mean we left some in that bottle? Can't have been much!

After leaving Los Arcos I went through the town of Bacanora - you have to admire a town that builds such an elaborate monument to its moonshiners...

The town of Bacanora from the hillside to the east looks like a movie set. And yes, there was a smidge left in the bottle. I have to go Bacanora shopping this week.

So they put the Canadian in Jail too while they sorted it all out?

That was very compasionate of the Canadian, but maybe sending the young drunk driver the wrong message about the consequences of his actions.

I did some scuba diving in cenotes once. Easily one of the most exciting days of my life.

Does anyone else think it's time for a Mexico meet-up? Yucatán sounds nice right now!

If we want MikeMike to come we'll all need to volunteer some luggage space... ;)

It was a Jim Carrey movie. Probably one of his funniest. It was his character's catch phrase.

Now I get it need to check it out ...BTW what are you doing in Cuernavaca? Do you like it there ? got a cousin that lives there., Jacarandas?
Dad build a frcionamento there back in the day, LAS BRISAS we use to go a lot

It's Jim Carrey, dammit!

I have saved luggage space by consolidating my little Chinese stripped down tire pump and can git an extra Euro speedo in the tankbag for the Yucatan adventure.

SR, beat me to the punch. If the kid was at fault for drunk driving he should be punished to the full extent of the law. I've seen dozens of local juniors and fresas here who've gotten away with murder amongst other crimes. They simply are out of jail and free to repeat their crime. I highly doubt the kid learned anything like responsibility or remorse for his actions, the message he likely got was how dumb the gringo was to spring him from jail and save his family a pot full of pesos in legal fees so he can get a new expensive car and hit someone else while drinking and driving. How good would the gringo feel basking in his glory of being so understanding, kind, and compassionate, if the kid kills someone or hurts someone else while he should be doing time? Yeah, I know, speculation, like "if the queen had balls, she'd be king".
But, "Let no good deed go unpunished?"
Wow! I feel better! I quit smoking 4 years ago today and was having a real bad day up to now.

Duly edited.

I have a black garbage bag and some brown string here for you so you can upgrade your luggage.

You should have bought the Touratech pump. Obviously it's the best!
