Subject:      Looking for advice re. Mexico
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

I am contemplating a visit to my daughter who works in a missionary school in
northern Honduras.    I am considering driving from SC to Brownsville Texas
then crossing through Mexico, either east to Belize then south or through
Guatemala then  north to Honduras.
I have received all kinds of warnings about bandits and police who stop you
just to get some money from you.    I dont speak spanish though I am fluent in
french and italian and have travelled extensively, mostly in Europe and a
little in Asia.
Any one on the list that has travelled that part of Mexico ?   I would be
passing east of Mexico city and driving all the hours of daylight.  I would love
to get some info and help from somebody who has done something comparable.
Am I crazy to think about if ?  Crazier to think about going in my 91 Carat ?

Thanks,
Steve Cotsford
