We just returned from a non-rv trip to San Miguel de Allende. We took the usual route; hwy 85 south to Linares and then over the mountains to San Roberto, down hwy 57 and exited to Los Rodriguez.
We took my little brother, who for the first time has traveled internationally and is afraid of flying. He flew to Monterrey with a thought-filled mind from his friends and family. You'll get kidnapped, robbed, and bribed.
Just arriving back to the house an hour ago, this guy who hasn't traveled in his life said he would love to move to Mexico. Last week, I took him to see Monterrey, and this week more touring.
He said he can't believe how friendly the police and military are. He waved to just about everyone. Not a word of Spanish and he said it was unbelievable how incredible SMA, Dolores Hidalgo, Monterrey, and all in between are so wonderful.
I think he is over his fear. :)
I'm hoping I finish work for good in December and we will hit the road for longer periods.
KNOW BEFORE YOU GO, and use common sense.
