November 12
San Blas to Rincon de Guayabitos 56M
The morning was flat through the mangrove swamp along the coast over to the beaches, around coves, some development, then inland over Mt. ridges, one after another and finally back to coastal plains. Mostly we had the road to ourselves...what a treat. The first couple of hours were tough for me...ribs hurt each time I took a deep breath. We were rather slow. Judee shares her concern my laborious pace. Should we stop early and call it a day? No let´s press on and I´ll try harder. At that point the long climbs started so we used the "granny" for the first time in awhile. Good views and Judee was our power house. The second leg was lots of fun - green jungled mountains and valleys with almost no traffic. PB&J, coke/sprite for lunch at a small town market. We pressed on to the coastal plains and vaquero country: lots of cattle and horses: ranch country. We finally hit the connecting road to Puerto Vallarta - very busy, lots of traffic, narrow with no berm .... 24 K of white knuckle time. We feel a little like a target on these roads.
We end up in Rincon de Guayabitos at a small RV Park ($10 p/n) with a good shower. Here we met a Canadian couple: Murray and Karen who we are going to dine with. The weather has been lovely, but we have been told that the summers in this area are a bit wet. "Under four inches it is a mist; over ten inches it is rain. Temps at 100 degrees and 100ç% humidity - we are glad to be here now not summer! Spent two days in Rincon de Guayabitos nursing our wounds, doing laundry, walking the beach, reading and eating.
What was very nice was that people would stop by to visit with us about our adventure. Canadians for the most part, but one older couple from Florida took Judee to the fruit market out on the highway. Note: we have not mentioned the ubiquitous Mexican sound trucks/vehicles/cars usually blasting music, ads, or political messages that move up and down the street until all hours of the night! Usually not just one, but many cruising up and down - up and down. My next investment will be in Mexican hearing aids!
