We really weren’t sure what to expect at the Equator. We have crossed the Tropic of Cancer a couple of times and posed at the sign. One crossing was in […]
Puebla was a city that we enjoyed during our drive through Mexico back in the early 2000’s. When we passed by the VW plant we stopped at the gates and […]
