the valley of the Sierra Madres'
and has an all year climate
Though the city is modern, it still
has age old Spanish design
buildings as reminder Of Colon

Oranges, lemons, etc, ripen
here in midwinter, and wild ex-
otto flowers and shrubs grow in
abundance ON the hiway, but the
most unusual. are the trees in
which orchards grow.

roadside exchange mart to ex-
change with his neighbor for
something he doesn't have. No

Victoria, the halfway point is
the capital city and the Tropic of
Cancer passes just few miles
south Of it. At Wales the country
side is low, and the tropical jun
gle that borders the hiway is
most picturesque. Orchids grow
on trees.
In the distance can bee seen
the Sierra Madres over Whlch one
must pass to reach Mexico City.
Here, on these hills, preeipitous
as they are, farmers make their
crops with hand tools. Great mass
es of clouds go floating thru the
air and striking against the
mountains, thus getting nowhere.
Such sights as these add more
to the already extraordinary seem
ic views.
The motorist must prepare for
