I never saw them stop a single car... <br /><br />I am going to follow this guy's posts... perhaps he was looking for the Cancun version of Mexico... He may have been better served by doing what I suggest people do here in the United States... get off of the interstates and meet the real people....something we have done with excellent results in the US, as well as Mexico...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19656561-8059923339211219417?l=bisbohemian.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>bisbohemiannoreply@blogger.com0
