Road trip. | |
My home in San Antonio Texas to Laredo. Crossed the border into Mexico and drove the autopista to Mexico City. Birded in the Siera's for a few weeks. Then headed to Tabasco, Campeche, love that area and explored some out of the way places.
In the next few day I will head to the Yucatan and explore the rio's around Progresso and Rio Lagartos. Just goofing off and killing time. I love this area and the birding is out of this world. Much better than Asia.
