Car wash + addresses

If you've been to Mexico before you know that it can be dusssstttyyy. Villages, coastal or otherwise typically have habits of "watering" down the dirt roads in front of their houses daily because of this. It seemed so second nature to me until Joshua asked me the other day, "momma, why are they throwing water onto the road?". While dust not only gets into your house, it also covers your car. In steps the car washes. This Country does an exceptional job with car washes. You can grocery shop and come out and someone will have cleaned your car. No mater the size of town, there just might be a "auto llavado". I swear, you could be in the middle of nowhere and....a car wash. Like this one, off the highway, along Mex 200. It calls itself, "express"...I mean, we all have different ideas of "express". Mine might not be 45 minutes, but, whatever.
And, while there. I had entertainment. I even gave them some toys and oh my gosh, they were kinda adorable.
All in a days work. I mean really, it took almost a day. Ha.
Have you ever tried to find an address in Mexico? It's not easy. I really don't know how I found my way around this Country before without a cell phone? Or online maps? Streets are confusing at best. Halfway through the street it may even change names. Street signs are purely optional, as in, you may opt to have one every 1o streets. And the numbering....ayayaya. Here is our house, and then next door. And then next door to them. Huh! But yet, I found it.
