Mexico/Los Mochis Active vacation 2005
Into the wind, over the hills through the jungle we go...brilliant flowers vine their way through the lush greens, morning glories and more...range cosmos dot the landscape as colorful butterflies dart everywhere. The sounds of the birds are different- loud and raucus, and we often hear rustling the the grass next to the road as lizards and small mammals scurry away from our bike. It is steamy, but truly enjoyable riding.
Breakfast was a bust! We ordered an egg dish with something else...it ended up being pork bits - the whole thing in a red sauce with a partially cooked single sunny side up egg and slab of cheese. BLAH. The orange juice was fresh squeezed and good. So was the coke and cookies Art finally ate!
You would think that after being on the road for over 6 weeks that we would be well broken in with no aches and pains....well we are butt sore and tired by the end of a 55 mile day. Heat and humidity add to the discomfort. A good shower and nap starts to revive us so we can explore our new surroundings at the end of the day.
Tonite we are lodging at the Casa Blanca hotel ($17) on the town square and next to the church. The simple room, two beds - one double, one singe - a desk and chair and bath room with a good shower, but no curtain.
Note: Church bells in Mexico "Clunk". They do not "peal". They are rung to call parishners to church - long, noisy. They are not used to count hours, as in Europe.
