Things We Won’t Miss About Mexico
Despite our obviously huge affection for Mexico, there are some things we won’t miss, including:
· All the beggars and people missing limbs
· Having to carry small change to use public toilets · No seats on the public toilets
· No (sometimes) paper in public toilets
· Having to carry toilet paper everywhere, just in case
· Poor WiFi
· Random power outages
· Having people come up to us in public spaces or restaurants trying to sell us stuff
· Being stalked by salesmen or women in stores or galleries
· Occasionally paying the price for bad street food with four or five days of stomach discomfort
· Creepy crawlies, especially:
o The large frequency of spider sightings
o Massive bugs, some on the ground, some on the ceiling, some flying
o Cockroaches
o Scorpions
· Aggressive street dogs on our running route in Guanajuato
· Dodging dog poop on the ground while walking in any town
· The occasional stench of sewage while driving through Guanajuato
· Car-eating topes (speed bumps), often unmarked
· How hard it is to ride our bikes

I think that’s it! As we come up with more, we may update this blog. Thanks for reading!
