More Adventures En Route to Mexico

Here are some scenes from the main highway in Guatemala on our latest trip to Mexico.  Always interesting!
A detour around the same landslide that
we have photos of in a previous blog post.
Waiting for several minutes for a truck to
park in La Mesilla, the border town.
They were washing the black truck, and
the owner had to go look for the keys to
be able to move it a few feet.
A pile of firewood in the road,
probably recently delivered to this hotel.
A "gas station."
There are about 40 or 50 of these stands
along the way selling coolant and gasoline.
Usually there is someone waving an empty
2-liter soda bottle on a stick.
