The Road In and Mexpro Insurance Mexico Road Log and Driving Guide Routes
(Roads marked in color are completed and offered for sale below or click on

"For years, our clients have asked us for updated road
logs of Mexico. The On The Road Logs are updated, simple to read, easy to
use, and offer the perfect solution that our clients have been asking for.
As we
insure over 100,000 vehicles crossing into Mexico each year, we believe that
the On The Road logs provide our customers with additional peace of mind,
and will allow them to have a more enjoyable Mexico travel
experience. They may even prevent U-turns and collisions! By using the On
The Road Logs, our clients will experience less stress and have a more
relaxed driving experience, which should also help MexPro with
reduced claims that in the past have resulted from customers getting lost or
losing their composure" ....Jim Labelle
president of Mexpro
Insurance, the leading provider of Auto Insurance for USA and Canadian
vehicles entering Mexico
We are
confident that our road logs and driving guides will make your highway
experiences just that much better and easier. Regardless of whether you are
driving an RV or a suburban, a bike or a pick-up, our road logs will assist your journey. Even 20
year veterans of the route have benefited from the information.
We decided to present the road from a driving perspective going SOUTH. When
your are looking at the Log, you read from the bottom of the page and read
up. The Pacific Ocean, for example, would always be on your right, just as
you would view it from your driver's seat.
The KM markings are the markings that you will see as you drive. It doesn't
matter if your vehicle reads in miles or kilometers. You just read the signs
on the road to get your bearings. Sometimes one highway combines with
another and old kilometer signs are left up. Not to worry, just continue to
read the guide.
Some of the best navigation points are the Pemex Station numbers clearly
marked on all gas station signs. Topes (Mexican speed bumps) are marked in
the guide just to remind you to go slow. We included Military and
Agriculture check points even though we know these can change frequently.
(Generally they are on one side of the state border or another between the Mexican
states.)

Kids and Mexico
Bringing kids to Mexico is a fantastic opportunity to have some concerted family time while exploring a different culture. Children of any age are a challenge though so I will be making some recommendations based on 3 kids and nearly two decades coming to Mexico.

Guanajuato... después de la
obscuridad
(After Dark)
Circumstance, bad luck or fate…call it what you want,
but it happens to all of us…and more often or not it will happen when I have
a mission.
I had been driving all day to the Mexican city of
Guanajuato through the back country of Jalisco, wanting to reach the town
before sunset when the light and photographic opportunities in this silver
mining region would be at its best.
A blown fan belt in the middle of nowhere put a damper
on those hopes and three hours too late I drove into a much darker
Guanajuato than I hoped for.
Instead of light playing on the bright colors of hillside homes, it was dark
shadows on narrow cobbled stoned streets.
I decided I would experiment,
Using my old Canon digital 10D, I would forsake flash
(much too harsh) and push my ASA to the maximum limit of 3200, which would
produce enough light but give an orange and grainy hew to the photograph.
Grainy I like in certain circumstances, but the orange glow would
have to desaturated so as to make the picture black and white.
A touch of color would be left in each picture.
The result was interesting and shows a side of the city
that you will rarely see in the guide books.
The photographs are taken in early evening, mid evening and just
before dawn. I hope you enjoy
them.

Mexican BEER
|
Mexico's claim to fame on the spirits front has always been tequila. What many people do not know, however, is that Mexico is also the world's third-largest beer exporter after Holland and Germany, sending an estimated 229 million gallons a year overseas. And the country's beer exports are likely to increase even further due to skyrocketing demand from the United States, which accounts for 85 percent of export consumption. More...
