It was a tossup between this Quimera Road Guide or the Guia Roji atlas. At roughly half the cost and more recently updated I chose the Quimera. I'm not traveling for another two weeks but at first glance this is a great travel map. This bilingual atlas features several useful sections for the traveler. There are extra maps showing archeological sites, colonial towns and nature sites (national parks). The main atlas covers the entire country in 28 one-page sections. Another 20 pages are devoted to detailed city maps. Extra features on the maps include clear markings for gas stations, airports and various sites of interest (spas, caves, archaeological sites). The book is normal magazine sized so you won't struggle to find somewhere to store it. The few reviews for this map mentioned the map designer won an award for his craftwork. I can see why. The map is intuitive to flip through and seems perfect for the tourist in Mexico.

Quote of the Day:


Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the

Western Spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun.
Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-eight million miles is an
utterly insignificant little blue-green planet whose ape-descended life
forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches
are a pretty neat idea ...
-- Douglas Adams, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"

You can observe a lot just by watching.
