" Sorry, but I believe your vision of Mexico is based on a very small swath. I just returned from Mexico City where the highways and avenues are packed. The majority of the cars are new. The same in Monterrey."
I've been traveling in Mexico since 1999, and the changes that have taken place in those 18 years astounds me. Selfishly, I liked it better with the roads less crowded - but that is selfish. I'm glad that Mexico's standard of living is improving and happy for the people there.
We travel by motorcycle for the time being and I'm having to book hotels months in advance just to be sure we have a room when we get there. Just a few years ago tumbleweed was practically blowing down the streets in Mazatlan's Gold Zone, now, it's busy again.
Maybe not so much for RV's, but tourism must be picking up quickly.
