Show us some love and leave us a review at iTunes
Introducing our driver, Rueben
Pronounced Rue - been
You'll understand why shortly
We're on the homepage in iTunes podcast store
In the parenting category
You're the whip cream
I am the pie to your whip cream
Does that mean we are getting divorced?
Rueben has discussing the directions that the Montana girls gave him
Nervous like Mom telling me, "Let's go to TJ to buy school supplies"
Sterling silver bangles
Hurling off into the middle of nowhere
The jungle begins flying by
Look at that, it's great
Is it abandoned?
Right, just like central Illinois
Look at you, getting all metric
Jungle was 20 km away
Fine, how about 20 clicks?
Betsy gets scared and starts talking
The Montana girls want you shut up
Actually, it was Erasure
Luggage in my lap
Moobs are getting damp
Rueben rolled up all the windows the moment we got in
4 adult Americans and one Mexican adult
Our bodies use more energy, seriously
They throw the old road next to the new road
You might need a chunk later
It'll have the rebar in it right away
Betsy asked to see the girls' directions
Oh my, God
"OK, like this is going to be so great. Take a left I don't know where, crappy town and it has a number 4."
Betsy's rendition of this is priceless, you have to listen
Around the crappy town, around and around
Forty minutes later we're still circling the town
Weaponry was at full blaze in plenty of places
Security is tight at Goodwill but not like this
Rueben speaks three words of English - yes, no and maybe
And he doesn't know what either of them mean
Don't fly to a foreign country without the address of where you are going
If I were on this trip with Jeanie
No Mrs. and Mrs. Montana it would have been safe!
The highlight of my trip was passing the local airport
I think it's called . . .
Rueben whips around, "Nooooooooooooooooo"
We were 20 clicks from were we supposed to be in the opposite direction
He hands the directions to the armed guard
We find the joint
The girls tip him like $1.50 USD
Rueben peels out in reverse
We hit our heads on the back window
But we arrived in one piece
Colonialism is alive and well
You can't tell me that you didn't breath a sigh of relief
Happy to be alive and I need a burger
The next four days became a huge pain in the ass
Look at these awful white people and their destruction of paradise
While, asking me to rub aloe on my back

I was crying today listening to the show, I almost drove off the road...been here in Mexico many years and have had just about all that happen to me at one time. I just laugh now and it gets me by, but I never got used to many of the things you mentioned..Just a different culture I guess.
It is cool to have red hair and speak spanish, they never know quit what to say to me! Betsy, your Spanish isnt too bad, you go girl!! I give you kudos for trying. Most people dont..I hope the next part, the resort, gets a little better????? I remember being in Cancun and being so embarassed by the drunk Americans that sat at the bar all day and turned a beautiful blue pool green..You guys are so funny.

just last year i made the big move from Atlanta , Ga to Huatulco , Mexico (southern tip / pacific side) , and it's been a mighty huge culture shock ( duh ! ) .
i find myself running into ( or things that i see to be ... ) problems and get more than a bit uptight ( ala Kris ) .
love your show ( i actually stumbled upon you guys with LITC ) and , as of a a week or so ago , have downloaded EVERY croncast , garage sale queen and even kris's podcast academy . hmmmm ... seems to lean towards addiction .
can't wait for the next fix !

You guys don't have broken glass glittering highways in Chicago? It probably rains there.
