Hi. As you all well know I have a dog, I have a car and I thought - hey, why not drive down to Mexico? Well... it was a little more in depth than that, but y'all got the idea. In the posts that will follow, I hope to share some of my experiences, both the good and the bad. Of which I figure will fall into the catagory of either; a girl, or the dog, or the car. Hopefully there will be funny ones to counter the not-so-funny ones, but I can't create the story unitl it happens.

Things that make me giggle

Britney Spears could move here because apparently it is OK, if not common, to drive with a baby on your lap

Men can't dance to fast, modern music. The girls may look like Shikira, the men look like the white guys at my High School dances (no offense boys)

Dogs in heat on the beach. A lot of attempts at reproduction going on there, quite the show at times

No matter how nice you ask, or how specific you are, you just can't seem to get cheese on a taco. If you want queso (cheese), you must order a quesadilla, not a taco!

Only the driver is required to wear a seatbelt...screw the passengers....same goes with drinking in the car, although reversed

When the boys constantly ask me what time it is, just to engage in a conversation. Particularly if they have a watch on

Mexican soap operas. Everyone watches them, at all times. Every store you go into has one on the tele

Alto (stop) signs, no-one stops, they slow to about 45 mph

The crazy gringos here that only socialize with each other and don't speak a lick of Spanish. I mean come on, at least say "hola"

The boys at the military checkpoints. Boy do they stare

Me walking across the bedroom floor at night, on my tipy-toes for fear of stepping on a scorpion. Particularly after the night one joined me in bed

Sweat in my belly button

Mexicans that talk to me really really fast. They think I am a lot smarter than I am, hell, I just figured out how to say damn in Spanish the other day. Pinche calor.
Well, not exactly true, I learned that word a long time ago...

Sweat on the top of my feet

Me standing at the beach during a thunder and lightening storm, praying that the rains would come pouring down on my head. Oh please, oh please I want to be like the girl in flashdance

Martin taking a picture of me standing out waiting for the rain to fall on my head, I'm sure he was thinking, "crazy white girl"

Crazy Glue is called loca loca

Always giggling,
Heidi and Maddie moo too
