Ok, who out there has traveled in South America? I’ve only ever been to Mexico, but whoa! is it nuts?!? The drivers are all over the road and have no concept of keeping distance between the car ahead. I frequently road the bus and the drivers were constantly weaving in and out of lanes. I remember feeling quite nervous that I might never make it home alive. If you ever want to cross the road on foot, BEWARE. Those cars do not slow down for you. They honk giving you sufficient warning that if you do not remove your person from the road, you will be flat as a pancake. At least you get some warning, right? Just to be safe, wait until you can’t see any cars coming before crossing the road.

For those of you who have traveled to Mexico, or South America, what was it like for you? Did you have the same fears for your life? I’d love to know where you went and how easy (or difficult) it was to get around.
