Well, it's officially been a month, but it doesn't seem that long until I realize how far I'm actually going. 30 days later, I'm finally remembering to put the paper in the wastebasket not the toilet. In October we essentially played turista for 30 straight days, and are quite exhausted.

Everyone knows you go south of the border to consume illegal substances at will, but I'm not quite sure how that works out for some people, and I'd rather not yet find out what a third-world jail cell is all about. These guys however have been in the business or habit for awhile and didn't get caught with their pants down, only the cops hands in their pants.

While we waited out the rains (Jason has already provided coverage on how), we managed to convince a tour guide to dirty up his Toyota 4-Runner imported from L.A. Why they drive 4x4 vehicles there I have no idea, but maybe why he got a good deal including the cost of gas driving it down through Mexico, at night to avoid paying exorbitant "highway taxes" from corrupt law enforcement, bandits, etc.

This is a survival guide. Some day you could find yourself stuck in that little town between the big city and the closed border (due to flooding) and you will thank me for this little piece of wisdom... So without further ado...
