... no such thing as perfect), ups, downs and sweeping bends.
The countryside is back to mainly trees and bushes with the odd small plot of cultivation, plenty of towns and speed bumps and several off road diversions for road works - and it really is off road, no room for low cars and spoilers here!
As on other mornings in the roadside cafes and I suppose houses, I watched mainly but not entirely the senoras making their ...

... entailed getting there by small local bus and the guide only spoke spanish....suprising really as we were in Mexico ! so had to listen hard and use all of our vast vocabulary to understand....the village had a market with an amazing old 16th century church...you would hardly recognise it as christian and catholic, more like pagan as we saw chickens sacrificed and no furniture at all, the floor was covered in pine needles and burning ...

... concrete, blacktop, rebar, truck tire recaps, large diameter rope, and any other thing that is sturdy and will reach across both lanes and on to the shoulder. Some are well marked, some are not marked at all! Being on a bike makes going over them at a reasonable speed (faster than most other vehicles) easier than in others. If you hit one of these with out seeing the sign or with out having a sign there, and ...

On to Puerto Arista, a relative metropolis, plenty of shops, some of them even open! Out of high season seaside towns tend to only fully open at weekends when the city dwelling Mexican hordes descend. Found a nice little place near a smelly lagoon and not far from the beach, but sadly, as often happens in Mexico, the workers started banging around at 6am - because it´s really hot later, they start work early but with no concern for their sleeping clients.

Just a stop over in this small town, where a Saturday night is spent drinking until falling asleep in the streets. It was quite funny arriving there so late, everyone just coming to us so drunk and talking to us and then after one hour seeing them sleeping outside. This time has not much apart from good hot dogs, we went to eat them at a stand where they were showing a Mexican boxing game, and i had to stasy the whole 11 rounds and cheer up with the locals...

We camped 2 nights and had our evening meals, a BBQ and a giant prawn dinner right on the footpath. It was bloody hot the whole time we were there, up to 39`c, and when we pulled out Tuesday morning for Puerto Angel it was nice to have the AC going again. Hasta Luega Amigos, The McGregors-6

... map, and we knew to go the entrance of the city and look for a certain restaurant, and then to go down the street and ask for the Castillo family. So we found some Castillos but the guy seemed to not remember the names of his nephews that had gone "to the other side" or "al Norte" (to the North). So we continued on to the other ...

... out she´s got a Mexican boyfriend already and that´s part of the confusion of her life right now. Seems there´s a lot of confusion with this girl so I left her to chat with Simon (in German) while I went and talked to the Canadian girl I´d met in Zipolite. She´s from William´s Lake, so we talked about the Canucks and how Vancouver needs to change goaltenders. At least that´s my opinion. The guy is always on his friggin knees for christsake.
