Canadian caravanista Janine Bandcroft reports from Tampico:
a few of us have braved the tropical heat and wandered to an internet cafe in tampico. they wont let me plug in, their keys are different, so i dont know where all the punctuation is, i cant upload photos, i’ve only got an hour, so ill make this quick and try again somewhere later.
