The trip so far

It’s been almost four months. And we’re still in Mexico! We didn’t really know how much we’d like this country, and how comfortable we’d feel traveling here (hint: it’s like the US, Walmarts, Home Depots and all, but cheaper, and in Spanish). When we we started, we thought that after spending the holidays with Steph’s family we’d continue on to Central America. That’s not the plan anymore. We skipped Oaxaca because we didn’t want to rush, so after a bit on the beach now, and another visit to Chiapas, we are backtracking a bit to head there. I have to fly to the States for about a week in March, so to avoid the six month tourist visa deadline here, we might “do” Belize in the next couple of weeks, just to reset the Mexican visa clock for another six months. Not that we plan to stay here all that time…

This is a fairly accurate depiction of our itinerary so far:

And these are all the places in which we got gas:

And just because I didn’t want to post two maps and no photos, here’s a pic of Milo trying to carry a frisbee:
