Six Months in Mexico
In and around Mexico
Hello One and All! A fellow traveler at the hostal here in Zacatecas introduced me to this site, and I thought it would be fun because you guys can see on the map where we have been and I think where we are going. We are living in the city of Zacatecas, Mexico for about six months. We arrived in early February and are leaving in early August. Sometime in the middle we plan on buying a car and driving all over Mexico, possibly from the beginning of April until mid, or late May.
