MJ's Escape Route 1

5/13/2014

“You did what…..?!”
That is always the reaction whenever we mention we drove to and from Mérida, Mexico for 4 years from Toronto Canada.  That meant driving south through the United States to Brownsville, Texas, crossing the border to Matamoros, Tamaulipos.  From there we followed a southerly route to the Yucatán Peninsula and the wonderful city of Mérida. 
Four months later we retraced that route when we headed back to Toronto.
My husband drove our 1995 standard shift Sunfire through rain, shine, mudslides, floods, and unexpected police tolls to reach our destination.
I knew someday, when I found the time, I would write about that drive.  Only it wouldn’t be us taking the trip.  It would be the main character in my novel.
When MJ, our leading lady, flees Canada for the Yucátan, she follows a well-documented route already familiar to the author.  You are welcome to come along for the ride…please click map (route in blue)....2850 kms (1,833 miles) - Buffalo NY to Brownsville  TX - part 1 of her journey.

Great way to document your trip...and of course add all the sultry tidbits that your imagination can conjure up....Norm needs to drive more than a sunfire to retrace your steps....+ you have to go further for your next book....keep up the excellent writing young lady....glad to see you have time to write again....cheers Adolf,
