Good point - I never really thought about the fact that crossing in the middle of the street is easier...definitely counter intuitive - but true! Be safe - and remember...never back up and retreat when crossing the street - you are expected to always move forward - not backward!! Good luck! Oh – you are making me miss my motorbike… how sad.

One thing that helps me is to cross in the middle of a street, not at an intersection. This way you're only dealing with traffic coming and going in two directions and nothing can pop up from around a corner unexpectedly. On a side note, I can't believe you rode on a motorbike! I've seen a few accidents and several close calls; riding in a taxi is experience enough!

Had snow flurries all last week but today it's almost 70, a wonderful sunny Spring day (which we spent raking and burning leaves.) Frank arrived on Thursday evening and we spent the weekend golfing and enjoying his company. He's now in a 3M seminar for two weeks so we won't see him until a week from Friday. He then leaves for home that Sunday.nrWe just love reading of your articles and have a much better understanding, having traveled just a little bit of the adventure with you, of your approach and are thoughly convinced you are a very talented gal. You should have little problem getting a position as a travel photo-journalist when you get back to the U. S. Keep them coming and most of all, travel safe, we worry about you!nrLove, Bill and Lois Sherry, we just returned to WI from FL.

I especially liked all your videos of the traffic; it brought it all back. I'll keep reading and follow your journey as you head south. I also want to go to Sapa sometime....
