Can You Believe It, were going to
Mexico to tour the Mexico Branch of Jehovah's Witnesses. The
trip down and back is full of wonderful places to stop and
visit. The whole trip will be one big sight seeing event. Ever
opportunity we get we will visit with the local Brothers and
Sister along the route. Many are really excited about seeing,
tasting, and feeling the sights, sounds, and flavors of Mexico.
Doing so in the comfort and safety of a touring bus and in the
company of the happiest people on face of the earth.
We start off each day with breakfast. Once on the bus each
morning we do the daily text together.
The most important part of the
trip and the main reason for the trip is us being able to visit
the Societies facilities in Texcoco. Many new friends will be
made and possibly even acquaintances will be renewed. Once back
in Juarez you will be bubbling over with enthusiasm and
excitement about all the new places you have been and all the
people you have meet. Yes tears will be shed as we hug each
others necks and say goodbye to our new bus family but not to
fret to much, we'll keep in touch.
The bus we charter will be a very
modern and comfortable bus with all the niceties you could ask
for. We will stop for breaks and stop to eat on a regular basis
so that no one tires out. We will make this trip as safe and as
comfortable as possible. The motels are true Mexicana and top
notch. All the places we stay at and eat at will have safe
drinking water. Of course the food will absolutely knock your
socks off.

exciting places we get to experience all up and down the country
