  Vacation Visitor Info Travel Deals — Authority: 143
  Mexico is actually one of my favorite international destinations. It is cloe to the USA and it’s culture and language is different.

  Ruminations of an Expatriate — Authority: 127
  Yesterday I traveled to the USA embassy in México City to have a document notarized. A trip to D. F. (Distrito Federal), as folks here often refer to the City, is to me an ordeal, requiring a five hour bus ride each way, a 30 – 40 minute taxi ride through the horrific traffic of the nation’s capitol each way, ...

  I spent this morning continuing with the excavation of a garden spot, and by now have quite a mound of the clay and sand mixture that, with the addition of organic matter, will become gardening soil. I am holding off fencing the plot until the sales is finalized, which, after three months, it is not. Speaking of ...

  I took this morning off as it is Revolution Day here in Mexico and I knew that traffic would be snarled as most downtown streets are closed to accommodate the large parade, thus traffic is heavier than usual on other streets. The parade has proceeded down Avenida Avila Camacho toward the city and state government ...

  Again today the neighborhood children mobbed me when I arrived for my morning of work, the older boys asking if they could wash my little pickup. I responded that they had just washed it a few days ago and it was still clean. They argued that the tires were dirty, and they indeed were. At any rate I caved, and ...

  Another friend said, "I have a few questions regarding the rumor of a new libramiento. The traffic between Xalapa and Coatepec is not as dense as you might believe.

  The boys, Alexis, Jose Aldo, and Federine, showed up again today looking to earn a bit of money for sweets. I caved, and told them I would give them each $5 pesos for picking up stones and trash, though there isn’t much of either now present upon the property. They fiddled around for a couple of hours, with ...

• Commuter Rail for Xalapa-Coatepec

  
  From Xico — Authority: 416
  Traffic in Coatepec and between Coatepec has been building quite noticeably since we have lived here, not to mention before that.  There is talk of another libramiento, from just before Coatepec to Xalapa to relieve some of the congestion. NO, NO, NO, NO. Why follow the US down the road (or highway) to even more ...

  This is quite a machine, such that I have never before encountered. It is being used to construct the deck of an overpass under construction in the Avenida Lazaro Cardenas.  I suppose one might call it a horizontal slip form, as it is moved ahead when the concrete of the most recent pour has cured. The sliding ...
