We did exactly the same thing as you a year ago - ditched the bikes for a while in Mochis and took the train up into the mountains. You are now headed into unfamiliar territory for us, so we will be reading carefully and taking notes - be our 'advance' eyes and eyes - 'kay?? Enjoy Central America!

LOL. More like, Americans' obsession with finding cheap ways to get drunk. Keep a safe distance, avoid conversation with such folks at all costs, and enjoy the spectacle. But it's a one-time show - the story is the same again and again and again. What a fantastic adventure you are having! You must have legs (and lungs!) of steel. Thanks for sharing it with us home-bound (and currently, snow-bound) folks! P.S. I think I have a new bike helmet under the Xmas tree! Woohoo! Americans’ obsession with margaritas… LOL.

But not in a disparaging way. I do a bit of biking myself (though I always leave from home and arrive at home :) and very much admire you for your tenacity! What an adventure you are having. I sigh to fantasize about it - it's something on my husband's and my "someday" list. We have two boys we homeschool who so far haven't adopted our liking for biking, but we still hope. I think when the sink overflowed, that's when I might've cried. :) I found your blog after someone directed me to Family on Bikes. Enjoy your adventure!

At least that is what a hunter in teh Sierra Norte de Sevilla told me.
