Ask for Help

The best, and sometimes only, way to find something in Mexico is to ask for help. This is also the best way to get lost. People who are unsure of where something is or when the bus leaves or even if there is a bus, will tell you anything. But persist and your patience will pay off. A woman in Pachuca tonight didn´t know where Hotel Real (a cheap hotel we never found) was, but she walked us blocks out of her way to show us a place we could stay instead. So proud of her city, she wanted to know why were there, what we were going to see, tried to give us the history of Pachuca... it was a humbling moment. It can be so easy to brush aside a stranger, but so rewarding when you aren´t.
