After years of preparation, our family has started to drive around the world! We crossed into Mexico on October 9, and we’re now 450 miles south of the Texas border. Mexico City is 260 miles southeast of us.
Using miles feels forced now, since distance down here is measured in kilometers!
We’ve had safe and interesting travels since we crossed the border, with a healthy dose of challenges (the type that humor can easily see you through).
Our first YouTube video from Mexico went up today, allowing you to see what life is really like at the border and just south of it right now. You’ll see:
- Our land border crossing at Eagle Pass, Texas, in our Jeep Gladiator
- What happened when we drove through the “no declarations” lane
- Our first moments in Mexico as we made our way through the town of Piedras Negras
- The hoops we had to jump through to get legal with our personal visas and vehicle permit
- The campgrounds we found for our first two nights in Mexico in the states of Nuevo Leon and San Luis Potosí, and the roads we drove to get to them
- Why we chose a Jeep Gladiator to drive around the world, as we enter a colonial-era city and find a place to park
Enjoy the video!
