Is Mexico Safe? - Page 749

Just got this link from the round-the-world Tough Miles guys. It covers their Mainland Mexico trip a couple weeks ago. #16 (which you can access thru the link) covers Baja.

I recommend folks who like such stuff read 1 thru 15 as well. Just the pics of the bridges in Siberia are worth the whole read.

Well, it ain't La Tetanic (google thst one gents) and it ain't in a Minatitlan, Veracruz love shack hot sheets motel, that's for sure.
Can't remember the last time The Stones played Minatitlan. Maybe Bob Loblaw remembers? I've been on a two day Rioja binge to get the kinks out of my back. Maybe the Kinks played Minatitlan? Two days of Spanish red does wonders for one's constitution, I've visted my oval office a few times to contemplate amendments.

The planet may be saved. There is a rumor going around that Grupo Bimbo of Monterrey is going to buy Twinkies.

When the U.S. financial empire collapses, you will find me in the mountains between Monterrey and Galeana with a truckload of those and another of Indio. Indio may go stale after awhile, but Twinkies will last 50 years.

Bimbo tried in 2009 during the 1st bankruptcy. Bimbo owns Entenmann's, Sara Lee, Orowheat and other us brands. I eat Bimbo Pan Integral everyday and will stuff my Thanksgiving turkey with Bimbo bread on Thursday. Bimbo is the worlds larges bakery company.

Entenmann's was headquartered in my home town when I was a kid. A single huge bakery back then. Trips to the thrift store resulted in a huge haul of goodies. Now my favorite bakery is Ruth and Rudy's in San Carlos. Real Euro style breads and pastries. We received a care package last week, German rye bread, choco eclairs and cream puffs. If you are in San Carlos you need to stop in, get some coffee and some pastry.

Rosa's Cantina in San Carlos is another great stop.

This morning, I was thinking maybe I was wrong about the Mexico is safe thing. These hombres marched by the hotel this morning. Menacing looking bunch.

Oddly, they were followed by a marching bands and some floats. Overcoming my fear, I followed them to the plaza where I saw these

And then I heard music and saw this

A fun parade for Dia de Revolution and a great performance by our awarding winning local folk dance group. Tierra y Libertad. Viva Mexico.
