Giddy up!". Or like on Star trek..." Give me warp speed , Scotty" It is one heck of a feat of engineering , tunnels, bridges great work but 12 hours..... The author has probably never driven in Mexico.333Views0likes0CommentsSuperhighway resumes work in Durango
http://www.eluniversal.com.mx/notas/929592.html Landowners affected by the construction of the Durango-Mazatlán superhighway announced the resumption of the works carried out in this cavalcade, having cashed an injunction for suspension thereof on May 31 this year. The legal representative of the peasants, Ernesto Perez Virgin, said finally reached agreements with both state authorities and with the Secretariat of Communications and Transportation (SCT) to ease the movement that started 13 days ago on the section between km 130 and 157 of this road. He said above came after a meeting held with Secretary General of Government, Jaime Fernandez Saracho and where there were several commitments. Lady Perez announced that there was willingness to reach agreements for compensation of ejidatarios and that the negotiations were for the good of all involved.838Views0likes1CommentRe: language barrier

If you show an attempt, most Mexicans will work very hard to understand you. Just learn a few basic polite words like these and it will be so much more appreciated and it's not very hard at all. To add to those words: cerveza, taco and bano. You can travel all over mexico with just these few words and a good sense of humor. Numbers are good also, then you can construct a sentence. "Dos cervezas por favor...Gracias!"406Views0likes0Comments
