Can You Read the Signs? by Tara Spears As thousands of seasonal visitors return to the Riviera Nayarit, many arrive by personal vehicle and are often overheard bemoaning the confusion of Mexican road signs. Well, duh, Canadian road signs are confusing if one doesn't understand English. I am embarrassed to admit that even after years of being a permanent resident in this beautiful country, I couldn't read the Spanish traffic signs. This fall I determined to educate myself. With notebook and pen on the seat, I set off driving and would pull over to jot down the sign wording to be translated later. For years I had blindly made up translations as I barreled along the Mexican roads, more interested in the sights than the traffic signs- imagine my shock to learn that my imaginary translations were totally wrong. Yikes! Ignorance may be bliss but it is also unsafe when behind the wheel. A crucial sign that most international drivers can recognize because it is the same shape and color as the ubiquitous stop signs is Alto; however, in Mexico it is not typically placed on the right side of the road before the intersection but rather on the far side of the cross street. Another troublesome sign is the left turn indicator: here it is necessary to exit one street from the right lane to make a left turn into another street-heads up to all of you that are zipping into Bucherias' Mega or Vallarta's Cosco or Walmart. Forget the rules of the road that you learned in another country regarding yellow lines: in Mexico, the drivers pass on turns or whenever they feel like it, solid lines be damned, expecting the oncoming traffic to make way for them. Obviously, driving defensively and yielding is wise no matter how strongly you feel that you have the right of way. Read the rest of this story by clicking here The Best Road Maps for Mexico

Knossos
(alternative spellings Knossus,
Cnossus, Gnossus,
Greek pronounced
[kno̞ˈso̞s]),
also known as the Knossos Palace
is the largest
Bronze Age
archaeological site on
Crete and probably the ceremonial
and political center of the
Minoan civilization and culture. It
is also a tourist destination today, as
it is near the main city of
Heraklion and has been
substantially, if imaginatively
"restored", making the site more
comprehensible to the visitor than a
field of unmarked
ruins.
