Answering your query on
Mexican Vacation" I can Of
fer the following from the ex-
perience Of having lived there
several years.
You cannot sell an automo-
bile in Mexico. that is taken in
under q tourist permit. 1t
would llecessitate official per-
mission covering importations.
and the import duties would
be prohibitive.
Summer months are in the
rainy season, meaning that a
light raincoat will be needed
a few minutes, usually in the
late afternoon. Evenings in
Mexico are always pleasant.
Stacks are never worn in Mexi-
co City. Medium weight cloth
ing can be worn in Mexico City.
but light clothing is necessary
for lower attitudes such as
Cuernavaca. and Acapulco.
Drink only bottled waters,
no tap water.
A good rule on fruits or
vegetables Is to eat them if they
are cooked or peeled.
