So funny and so true! I am always amazed that no one seems to know how to get anywhere, even to the largest tourist attractions. And then there are those who can’t tell you they don’t know, so they send you on a wild goose chase. One of the many charms of Mexico!

This article made me break out in laughter. I’ve lived in Mexico for 16 years. As a single man, long ago, I drove throughout Mexico in an old beat up Pontiac station wagon. Now, as a long time married man I drive around with my Mexican wife in an old Chev. Suburban, the difference? very little. Still get lost, still bite on totally false information from the locals and have learned not to ask for directions to some far off place but to sneak up on it by asking people how to get to some pueplo near them which is en route to your final destination. GPS, don’t bet the farm on it, probably do just as good asking a policeman.

This is truly correct! In Mexico you need to ask ALWAYS THREE TIMES!! Not just for directions – for everything. THREE times! I have 4 years in Mexico now so I speak of experience.
