Well I left Playa Del Carmen this morning after a week with some top notch friends I joined on their trip. Now, I am making my way north and west to Texas for the next 2 months. Slowly but surely, I have crossed 4or 5 Mexican states and at least 5 police checkpoints where Hummers with 50 cal machine guns mounted on top were flanked by the army wearing kevlar and toting automatic rifles. Most of them were happy to chit chat as they searched for hidden panels in my truck. Good thing my only drug habit is Guatemalan Caffiene in the form of coffee.
Only one ticket so far as I paid a FINE so to speak, for going over a speed bump too fast.... sheesh. $100 lighter... but making good time! See you soon.
