Yesterday was the first day I drove a car in DF. The truth is, it is the second time I drove a car in DF, the first time I backed into a concrete post and dented the car. This time, getting the car out of the garage was the toughest part. The prettiest drive I have done so far is to Lerma BMW ("A" on the map) in Toluca. Thought we could drive there and have a torta at La Selva in Toluca. Toluca is southwest of DF.
We "practiced" having me drive around Polanco, it was a Sunday, so traffic was light. All seemed fine, except the car an SUV has a couple of blind spots making driving in traffic a little tough. Then we took, routa 15 through Santa Fe and through the tunnel on the way to Toluca. Santa Fe is interesting it is an area of DF built on a former land fill. The terrain reminds me of Colorado or Marin, lots of evergreens with a rolling terrain. On the way we had a hail storm, then stopped at Lerma BMW for me to fog up the windows of the showroom, then on to La Selva for a torta. The traffic going back was very bad, took us almost two hours to get back to DF. The roads of DF are narrow and you need to be very careful of not "sideswiping" another car. We watched as car sideswiped a bus and then kept driving. All and all, went well, need to work on getting the car into and out of the garage.
I was glad I drove, next drive I would like to see the motorcycle rides near DF. Would also like to find if there are rustic cabins near DF with nearby mountain biking. Really need a large motocycle for rides on routa 15, riding with a 150cc would not be fun and riding two up would not be possible.
