What a day! Woke to 42 degrees and damp. thought we were back in B.C. after the jungle heat.
We saw a farmer plowing his field with a wood plow pulled by 2 horses and another man in front pulling them. Such a different environment! This is a very industrious area today. there is cane or corn stooked in the fields and then its baled. Here it is going to market, totally overloaded as usual. There are pottery, truck parts, bricks and nuts all for sale at the roadside. We summitted at 8000' and after a grueling downgrade got to sea level and into Clare and Juri's on the beach. Dave got stuck trying to park and John had to pull him out after he was unhooked. There are now 9 members in the 'stuck in the mud' club, but Ron was voted President because he got stuck on pavement while all the others got stuck in mud! go figure.
Pity that our drivers never get to see the scenery. I say, oh Ron, look at that, and he says, can't I'm driving. It's so true. We both have our eyes glued to the road, the Mexicans drive like mad idiots. Ended our day with a great ice cream social from all the fines we paid for forgetting to wear our name tags and the sheriff got us. It's been a laugh.
