Turning a Pemex gas Station into Heaven on Earth.

How, you may ask? Drive all day. Make sure the roads are full of trucks, pot holes, and Topes. (a mound across the road to reduce speed) When you fall 2 hours behind schedule with every glimmer of daylight gone, and the road ceases to have shoulder or center line. Then snake down a steep incline from the Isthmus of Tehuantepec toward the Pacific Coast with winds gusting 60+ mph. You see a green and white glow and concrete gleaming in the distance You know their will be a lit parking space for Gloria Kerouac and her passengers to seek shelter. We buy gas, eat in the little restaurant and bunker down in Ms. Gloria. The winds rock us back and forth like being at sea. At first light when the famous winds of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec die down we will make a run to Puerto Angel, Oaxaca.

Need to sign off ... feeling a bit seasick at the keyboard.
Good night from the finest Pemex in all of Mexico!
