Bug repellents work and the Mexican brands are just as good as the more expensive "Off". Just remember to spray before you expose yourself. Some of these insects pack a vicious bite and long term sores and swelling can result until your body develops an immunity.Crofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17634815881045387152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7145439356430068072.post-70160507176768978962012-12-01T17:42:51.023-08:002012-12-01T17:42:51.023-08:00We have been cheated twice at Pemex stations.

The other time I ordered $1000 pesos and when I went to the cab window to talk to Norma I heard the pump shut off way too soon. I was told he mistakenly started giving me Extra when I asked for regular. He had a figure like 748 written on his hand and said he owed me the rest in regular gas. There was little I could do but I could tell by the gas gauge that I had been ripped off for at least 300 pesos.<br /><br />I always order a specific number of pesos worth (1000 for the motorhome, 200 for the car) and stand there watching. I never say, "Fill it up" as it makes it too easy for them to confuse you with the change.<br /><br />It is very nice to read of your adventures. You have fresh eyes for Mexico, something we had six years ago!Crofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17634815881045387152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7145439356430068072.post-25444428047282393072012-11-30T11:29:24.418-08:002012-11-30T11:29:24.418-08:00Very interested in your journey.
