Our Good Little Mexican Driver (Mexico)

Tensions eased a bit today towards Mexico.  We woke up early, packed and headed for Tampico.  Jared's friend, Kristopher, amazingly offered his home to us, so we had a great place to stay with "security".  First thing we did was jump in the pool...by we I mean them, because they are boys and have the luxury and stripping down to their skivvies and being appropriately dressed to swim.  We drove in and around Altamira and Tampico, and suffice to say we will probably not be coming back.  Later, however, we got a bit of a history lesson from Kristopher who showed us the remnants of the oil boom, and Tampico got a bit more dimension...but we are still probably not coming back.  Kristopher was an amazing host, he escorted us around and took us to a phenomenal seafood restaurant, El Provenir.

Gearing up for another long drive today; hopefully issue-free!
