Day 2 - Searched 4 Times and Passed 3 Times

Todays big news is that we made it to a cross roads town called Acayucan.  It is a sleepy town of 50,000.  Actually, there are people everywhere.  It is in Veracruz state.  The drive from Merida took all day.  We stoped in Campeche to take some pictures and in a beach town before Ciudade del Carmen.  We drove about 400 miles.  We were searched by the military 4 times and allowed to pass 3 times.  The searches went smoothly with lots of smiles and discussion about the dog and where we are going.  It ends up that I speak a lot more spanish then my driving mate, which is scary becuase I don't speak that much.  Luckily, we haven't encounted any impossible hurtles and things are progressing.  Tomorrow morning I am going to find a vet to renew my dog's papers.  They will expire and we are still two days from crossing the border

If you were searched 4 times and allowed to pass 3 times….what happened on the 4th time?

Paul, I should have been clearer…. We were stopped by the military 7 times yesterday. 4 times they searched the vehicle and 3 times they just talked to us.

“Ah…..I see”, said the blind man.

Have a safe trip. See you when you get back.
