So you made it. the checkpoints had to be a little unnerving, especially with the language barrier. Nothing like getting an early start, avoiding traffic even if it means getting on the road while it's still dark outside is well worth a few extra hours of sleep. While you were driving on that one stretch of road, the one with no guardrails, I heard your wife tell you not to look, but if you did disobey her request you had to enjoy the scenery from that elevation.
The children seem to be traveling well, but once you arrive at your final destination you may have to bribe them to get back into the car.
Great to see that you had no major obstacles while traveling and it's a dam good thing you didn't run out of gas.
Stay safe and start to enjoy what brought you to Mexico, even if it was only for the Mexican food. 😁
WE MADE IT!!!
tbh, I wasn't really nervous at all. I had nothing to hide. The language barrier, if anything, imo, was actually a benefit. They don't wanna waste their time trying to talk to me, they see that we are a family with a ton of crap in our car. Not two young punk kids in a beater looking like we're up to no good.
I didn't hear him at the time, but the one guard at the Zac. crossing asked "destino?" meaning "destination?"...and I responded with "3 kids, yes" as he looked in the back...lol. He didn't care to push the issue and felt content that we were good to go and sent us on our way.
I took a few peeks over the edge on that drive, it was quite the drop. The video didn't really do the scare factor or the views much justice.
We are already enjoying the Mexican food...although you'll really get a kick out of my next video concerning that, hahaha.
Hope you and @farm-mom are doing well bud! Thanks for kickin' it with me!
