When I was real small, my parents and I took the train to Chihuahua from Texas and then down the 'Copper Canyon' to Los Mochis and back... 200 tunnels
and 200 bridges (it seemed like)... The train hit a cow, and caused a delay... The railroad was brand new and my folks had some time to kill while
waiting for my dad's boat to be finished... Cool experience, I think it was about 1963...?

Railroads were the primary mover of troops throughout Mexico, especially the North, during the Revolution.

In San Diego there have been commercials on the radio for quite a few years touting Mexico tourism including Baja, it has only been the last year or
so that they have people reading them that can actually pronounce the names of places correctly. This guero always got a good laugh and I always told
the wife I was going to call in and get an audition.
"the Mexican tourism board invites you"
Stay thirsty my friends!!

Personally speaking, I feel these commercials really miss their mark by not showing the "real" Mexico, which in my opinion are the beaches, the
deserts,the wildlife, the food, the resorts, the people, the towns and villages, and all the cultural diversity that make up this beautiful country.
Anyone else have any thoughts on the subject. |

Those commercials, are plain proof at the level of corruption and incompetence of our goverment. They where created and paid for, not with the goal of
atracting tourists, but with the goal of some big fat goverment official to show his bosses, that he is actually working and earning his ridiculously
high salary.
To the best of my knowledge, foreign companies always hire local advertisers who understand what their market expects, and likes. I bet the
commercials where planned by some clueless chilango who doesn't understand anything other than what he knows from watching american movies.
