Mexican Cobblestones (For Michael)

                                  Mexican Cobblestones (For Michael)

Michael Lai has said he would like to see the cobblestones in Mexico.  Every town and sometimes every street is different.  After a huge mud, stone and water slide in 2007, we lost most of our cobblestones and they were replaced with the compound cobblestone/concrete roads pictured below. The streets in the nearby little towns are much more irregular than this and the stones are usually just placed in sand.  At any rate, here are three pictures of the two roads that pass my house, which is on a corner.

If you are interested in the devastation caused by the huge land, mud and water slides in the Raquet Club where I live, go here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/shmiller/sets/72157601993828026/  The house with the car going through the window and all the boulders and wood piled up in front of it  is two houses away from me and the street with all the huge boulders is the main street I drive up to get to my house.  It is also one block away from my house.  The second and third pictures of mine above are the street that leads up to it. You can see it just one block away! The present streets are some contrast to the terrible damage inflicted by the slide.

If anyone else is interested in the photos of the beautiful stone Croatian streets that Michael posted, you can find them here: https://retireediary.files.wordpress.com/2015/08/dscf0496.jpg

Take the Cobbled Way

At the corner of my street, I always turn left, then always stay far right to avoid scraping my muffler as there is a big depression to channel the water coming down the arroyo.  Click to enlarge this picture and you can see a small trickle.  A few days ago it was like fording a stream!

Wherever you are going as you enter my fraccionamiento, the way is always up!  And the way out is always down.

Mexico is brick and stone.  Everywhere you look:  cobblestoned roads, stone paver roads, stone walls, brick walls, stone sidewalks–you name it, we have it.
