Crossing the road

So since we last wrote, we've spent time on the Gulf Coast in Veracruz, drove across two mountain ranges, both named the Sierra Madre, sat on the beach near Acapulco and had some VERY interesting experiences. Many of these involve driving in Mexico. For instance, we now know what it's like to drive through a swarm of bees (not pleasant, sounds like gravel hitting the car at high speed). We've also seen many interesting creatures crossing the road, including a variety of brightly coloured iguanas, a tarantula with bright orange stripes on his legs, not to mention pigs, hens, goats and burros as standard fare. Luckily we avoided everything with the bees and only got one sting from them so we count ourselves very blessed.
