1:02 I believe you mean towards the NorthWEST not NorthEAST. 1:51 Quotation mark ( " ) is inches. Apostrophe ( ' ) is feet. There is quite a big difference between 3 to 6 inches vs 3 to 6 feet.
Mexico has horrendous streets. They are dirt or poorly laid asphalt. One good surge of rain, a tropical storm completely erodes the streets. Even the highways get completely washed out and the time it takes to repair roads is infinite.
