I tried it a few years ago and never saw what looked like a reasonable exit after Toluca and suddenly found myself cresting the hill looking at Mexico City. I'd been in the city a number of times in the '90's so managed to stay mostly on the periférico but still uncomfortable. Maybe someday but I drive a lot less in Mexico any moresparks_mexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00164875979449223368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5414957110325310952.post-65013113796084791882013-01-12T10:51:58.510-08:002013-01-12T10:51:58.510-08:00Deep fried tree branches??

I just pretended to only speak French as I listened to the police try to bribe us and become more exasperated as we refused to cooperate. They finally let us go. I like the idea of the new bypass!
