...can't say much about it really, just got here a bit ago and will be leaving again early in the morning... just passing through really. Plus, it's same situation as last night, battery running low, no place to plug in.
The town does seem nice though for Mexico's 4th largest (again I am in an outskirt)... walked the square... like most, surrounded by churches and filled with lovers on benches, families strolling, kids skittering about (although this square has a killer playground that has the kids concentrated on the slides and swings)... quite pleasant.
Grabbed a plate of the local Poblano Pepper Mole dish, may I say, yum?
This new route is proving to be better than I had hoped, as far as the drive is concerned that is. Definitely more expensive as it is mostly toll roads, but I am making good time toward Rio Dulce and Choco isn't complaining too much about having so much altitude to deal with... I reward him for climbing hills at 40 mph by taking him out of gear and coasting the descents at 60.
As an added bonus, the scenery is quite beautiful. One endless farm stretching across varied terrain... volcanic, desert, temperate forest, mountain. And several times today, I saw the colonial vision of Juan, down in an arroyo, silhouetted on a ridge or crossing on an overpass, under a sombrero, riding his donkey with big bundles of wheat or whatnot strapped on... they still do that here! How cool is that!
Ok... computers complaining now, 20% power remaining... Hasta y lotsa Amor a Todo!
:o)
Aloha,
ReplyDeleteI wasn't sure if you were along the coastline when the tsunami swept across the ocean. I had your sister text you. We spent Friday night at a friend's house at a higher elevation until the all-clear on Saturday. Some damage to the harbors and a few boats. I had a newly formed saltwater pond on the lawn in front of me, but we really were very fortunate.
Glad to hear you are enjoying your travels. Sounds wonderful!
Vaya con Dios mi hijo,
Te amo,
mamá
