Class Act
In the area of Mexico where I live (Baja, California) there is really only one main highway. This road which is (very appropriately I think) known as route 1 (officially carretera federal 1) runs north south along the pacific coast (mostly) of the Baja Peninsula from almost the southernmost tip (Cabo) to the border with the state of California in the United States. There are two different "versions" of route 1 in many portions of Baja, the cuoto (toll) portion and the libre (free) version. As you might guess the toll version of route 1 is more like a traditional highway in the United States, with faster speed limits (90-110KPH, 55-70MPH) and no stop lights or signs. In contrast the libre sets up much like a state route or large county road in the states with slower speeds and either a few stop lights and signs or many of these depending on where exactly one is driving. The two versions run mostly parallel to each other, though not always. This can be quite confusing as it is often not clear which version of route 1 one needs to be on to reach any given destination. It definitely challenges Google Maps and it is notorious for not differentiating between the two, resulting in many wasted trips and miles when navigating around the peninsula.

Isla Mujeres — From the Sublime to the Ridiculous
First Impressions When arriving in Isla Mujeres you may be forgiven for thinking that you have left Mexico and entered some sort of Mexican-themed island in the USA. A place that exists solely for middle-aged tourists to suddenly lose all use of their limbs and suddenly have to resort to using a golf buggy every time they want to travel more than two feet. We considered forgiving Isla Mujeres for this barrage of bum bags and socks and sandals because the island itself was lovely.
