If only a drivers license was REQUIRED.

1.6.1o The drive through Mexico was crazy. There are no speed limits, no highway patrol of any sorts, the roads suck and lack SERIOUS organization, and people just do & drive HOWEVER THEY WANT. I swear we were driving 85 miles per hour the WHOLE WAY through Mexico on a road that had no end. Along the side of the road as we drove I took note of HUNDREDS of crosses and what I can only assume were memorial boxes where people had died probably because 75% of the Mexicans don't have a drivers license and they ALL pile into one car, or even in the bed of a truck! No wonder! If they were to get into an accident they would SURELY perish. Thankfully the Romero caravan arrived safely!

The sign on the side of the never-ending road, in the middle of no where with NO crosswalks says "Pedestrian Crossing." Given the circumstances surrounding the sign, this made me chuckle.

About Us

Jocotepec, Jalisco, Mexico
We are a family of 5 consisting of a Mom & Dad, a set of twins and a 4 year old. With the exception of Javier, Jaden, Jorden, Corbin and I were Utah born and raised. Javier was born in California and has lived in MANY places including Mexico. Javier is a social butterfly (for lack of a more masculine word) while I am more reserved, because of this I think we make a good fit. We are doing our best to raise our three sons as well-rounded, respectful individuals who will prove to be responsible and HAPPY when grown. We like to make the most of life. We LOVE traveling & seeing new places! Javier has made magical things happen for this family and I love him for that (even though MY Mom may not.)
