A Bug's Life - Part 1...

When we first arrived here, everywhere I turned there were Volkswagen Beetles (Bugs). Every age, condition, style, color, and condition can be found cruising down the streets of Playa del Carmen. My home is located on the main street that people use to drive into Playacar so while
I'm cooking, I see the most interesting Bugs drive by and think about how common place they are here. Yet in the United States, when someone sees a Bug on the road they compete to be the first to say, "Slug Bug!" because they are just so rare and different from other cars out there. So I've become one of those funny little American tourists hopping in excitement when I see a Bug in a parking lot and rush over to take pictures. You should see how the Mexicans stare at me. Crazy Gringa!
