Mexico’s Killing Fields
My husband is planning a second honeymoon for us to Mexico?
He wants me to choose where. I’d love to go back to Cuernavaca but I don’t know where to choose. I want us to go somewhere that is close to ancient ruins. The view is amazing from the top of pyramids and my husband has never been…Any suggestions?
I’ve seen the reality…I went Cuernavaca when I was 16 as a service trip…But this time I want to go someplace like Cancun or Acapulco…I just need to know which places are near ruins…
Go to the Mayan, you can see the ruins there. Hotel suggestion for your second honeymoon………try the El Dorado Royale, it’s on Punta Brava Beach, they have Gourmet all inclusive YUM! beach dinners, 24 room service and is soooo romantic. Premium suites are set away from the rest, they are one storey, large, and they fill your suite with flowers, gourmet snacks and wine on your arrival, our jacuzzi was filled with rose petals and bubbles when we arrived……..
My New favourite!!

what’s the best route from laredo TX, to guadalajara Jal?
should I take the toll from zacatecas towards aguascalientes, or stick to the old 54? Please help. And does anyone have a clue about trip time?
I’d love to take a bus/fly, but we are traveling with pets, and too much luggage…thanks
well, if i were you i would take ETN buslines from Nuevo Laredo. The ticket is 930 pesos and is SOOOO much cheaper (because of tolls and gas prices.)
If you are going to drive, I would absolutely go through Aguascalientes…… I took another road once it nearly drove me crazy. The toll roads are so much more "user friendly" and safe.
Travel time is 14 hours using ETN buslines.

What does “Hecho en México” mean ?
I got a bumper sticker at a street fair in Mexico that was a play on the “Hecho en México” export logo with the eagle graphic. Mine is the same but says, “Hecho un Mendigo.” My Mexican friends think it’s funny. Problem is, they can’t really explain the joke to me They try to tell me it means something like “Made in the Streets” or “Made by Funky Poor People” or “Made Me a Poor Person.” Anybody know ?
Hecho en Mexico means Made in Mexico
Mendigo can mean a beggar, or just a slang term meaning ‘you a-hole’

How can one travel to their point of origin from a divergent universe?
How can a person travel into the future of their original time line, what might be considered their "present", given that once in the past, a divergent time line is necessary to preserve continuity? Seems that once a person travels back in time, it may be impossible to go back "home".
Not possible, You will only be able to travel along your alternate timeline. Recent Theory suggests it’s possible by locating the exact sweet spot between a White hole and a Black hole, but most of us think that will only result in your being squished.

how can I defeat the smell of the humidity?
I live in Cuernavaca, México, the place of the eternal spring, though when is rain season my home turns it into a fungus kingdom, I have waterproofed the roof but I can still get the odor and the feeling of humidity away, I have tried with baking soda sprinkled all over the house, but it didn’t work. Any suggestion?
Buy a dehumidifier.
Do you have Sears?

Bi-lingual schools in Aguascalientes MX?
My husband and I will be going to AGS. MX for an extended visit(1-2 yrs.).We will be taking our children w/us. They range in age from 8-13. I need information about the schools there. Are there any bilingual schools? Is the education comparable to the education here in the states? What about the cost? Any helpful info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
In Mexican private schools the education is comparable with the US. In 2006, the Mexican Public Education Ministry, started applying a test called ENLACE to all students from 3rd to 6th grade, and to 9th graders.Its goal is to gain more information about the function of the school system in Mexico, both in the public and private schools.
You can see the results of these tests online, and the schools will be in order according to the scores of their students.
You can choose to see only private schools in the city of Aguascalientes. Most high-ranking private schools will surely teach English, you will also see the number of students enrolled in each school. Once you find a name of a school you are interested in, I suggest you google it to find an email address where you can ask for specific information.
Here’s the link to ENLACE:
http://enlace2007.sep.gob.mx/content/blogcategory/4/29/
and go to "Consulta para Ordenamiento de Escuelas por Puntaje"
I already did the search for you and found that Colegio Bosques is the second in ranking in Aguascalientes (the first school only has 8 students), and its partnered with Tec de Monterrey, which gives it a lot of merit. It is bilingual.
As for tuition, it varies greatly from school to school, I would say somewhere around 4 thousand pesos a month for that kind of school.
But it is not the only one, if you go down the list you’ll probably find private schools from around 2 thousand.
I really hope this helps.

Why is my Chihuahua so protective with newborns and babies?
If anyone is holding a baby(especially newborns) my chihuahua will protect the baby. If an older child would approach the baby and try to touch the baby she will atack them(bite and growl). She did have puppies about five years ago. Why does she feel a need to protect them?
She’s not "protecting" them…she’s trying to "claim" them because she believes she’s dominant over the people holding/touching them.
In layman’s terms, she’s an ill-mannered little PITA that needs to learn what is/is not acceptable in your household.
NO dog should be allowed to get away with attacking a human being welcomed into your home.

why does Y, answers have an American flag by "en Español" at the bottom of this page and not the Mexico flag?
o they not speak en Español in Mexico?
do they not speak en Español in Mexico?
then should the other countries flags have one for those other lauguages there?
Actually those flags bother me but for a differnt reason.
I have been working with software companies for almost 20 years on how to prepare their software for international markets and speakers.
I personally know some of the leading people in my field work for yahoo and provide advice to them across all their products.
Standard industry advice is to avoid flags (and other symbols) that may be politically loaded. That they don’t correspond one to one with speakers and countries is plain, and troublesome, and reason enough to not do it. After all, we don’t see the Union Jack next to all English sites do we?
Yahoo should know better.
Still, as for "en espanol", it is clearly a US flag, so is inteneded primarily for spanish speakers in the US.
There is also a Mexican YA as well in the list. If you look at the URLS they lead too, you will see they are different.
I don’t necessarily agree that the flags are good - but I can imagine the long discussions that go on at very high levels in Yahoo’s corporate structure, and the variety of reasons plus and minus why they would consider this.
Some of those flags below are VERY controversial political representations, such as Vietnam and Taiwan. There is a lot at risk there and frankly I am surprised they did it that way. If I were advising, I would have considered other alternatives, including dropping the icons completely

What papers do i need to take my dog on vacation to mexico?
I go to mexico on vacation at least once a year. I just got a Siberian Husky puppy a couple months ago and im planning to take me to my yearly vacation.
What papers do i need to go from the U.S. to Mexico and back?
ask your vet if theres any types of extra vaccines your pup needs to go to that part of mexico. Other than that the airlines require the dogs shots to be up to date.
