Perks in Mexico

We recently completed yet another trip to Mexico.  We have written about some of the difficulties in traveling to Mexico to renew our visas, but we shouldn't complain too much because there are some perks when we arrive.  In Comitán, the hotel we stay in is very nice, and we get to shop at Walmart, as well as another similar big store.

All packed up and ready to go!
We take mats for Michael to sleep on
which are better for his back than
a hotel bed, but fill up the car.
This truck was parked in the road
to load cattle from someone's house.
We were grateful that the driver was
willing to move for us to pass by.
We had to wait awhile while a construction
crew was working on road improvements.

This is a stretch of road where
there are many landslides, so we
were glad they were working on it!
Our hotel, Villalba Suites, is very
comfortable, and the room is spacious
for our family of six.
The selection of products in this Walmart
is mostly Mexican, but we can still find
wonderful things like chocolate chips,
raisin bran cereal, peanut butter,
and 100% apple juice, which we
can't find in Chichi.  Let's stock up
for another 3 months!
