If you found this blog via a link from a cruising site ~ we did cruise Mexico on our Ocean 49 cat for a season.

Sidewalk Hazards #3

And today's winner is... insert drumroll here

"The Malecon"!













They dig the cracked tiles out of the sidewalk, then maybe come back a week later to install the new tiles.

Maybe.

Second place goes to the sidewalk that ends in a 3' drop off!Can you imagine walking down this street (towards where I am taking the picture) and just looking away for a second?

Sidewalk Hazards #1

In Mexico you must always be looking down and looking up at the same time.
Sidewalk hazards are numerous...
Holes in the sidewalk.
Air conditioners at forehead level.
Loose cement chunks.
Low tree branches.
Fourteen inch steps.
Signs that are at eyebrow level.
Planters in the middle of the sidewalk (the main sidewalk was the lower one).Trees in the middle of the sidewalk.It is a lesson in taking some responsibility for yourself...
However with my insurance background, it is quite hard to not let it bother me!
