The drive from the guest house to the office is quite exhilarating, bordering on harrowing. Drivers are extremely aggressive here. The roads are built for two or three lanes, but there are no lane markings, and people drive like it. Cars honk at each other all the time, as if to say, "get out of my way". Trucks, bikes, and cars all jockey for position - oops, don't forget the pedestrians! And intersections -wow! Everyone trying to move at the same time, no stop signs, no traffic signals. It's amazing there aren't more accidents. American drivers would never survive over here.
Oh, and I saw three oxen on the side of the road on the way to work this morning. I'll have to see if I can get a picture of that tomorrow...

They drive with their horns in MX too. When I was stationed at Ft. Bliss in El Paso we used to visit Juarez frequently and one couldn't carry on a conversation in the middle of town for the noise.
