Anyone been to Veracruz, Mexico? Thinking of making a run there. Got some outstanding tips on it from a lady that serves me sandwiches at subway from Mexico City, says its great. My interest there is to check out an old Spanish Fort there. Interesting history. It was where Sir Francis Drake got his anti-Spain kick start and almost got killed there. He was selling slaves with his uncle when a Spanish Flotilla sailed into the harbor and captured 3 of 5 vessels. He narrowly escaped and endured some serious hardships at sea to the brink of starvation. Also, Veracruz is where HERNANDO CORTEZ launched his conquest against the Aztec empire. Also where U.S. forces landed in the war with Mexico in the 1840's and followed along Cortez's footsteps into Mexico City. Only thing that sux is the small planes we fly there, those embrair 50 seaters which are unpredicable as hell. I'll just take a chance, if it gets too hairy, I'll fly into Mexico City which we fly like a dozen flights a day there. I'll do this after a vegas run. Oh, the name of the fort????? SAN JUAN DE ULUA.
