I woke up at 3 am last night with a raging hunger. I guess my ramen noodles weren't enough dinner. I fixed some oatmeal and heated tortillas over the stove and felt better after that. I wanted to sleep in because I had a short day today, but the sunlight leaking under the door had me up before 7:30. The sun here feels different. Much more intense.
The ride to Mulege was not particularly interesting. Almost boring, in fact. For most of the ride the water was too far away to participate in the scenery and the vegetation was kind of "meh" after what I had become accustomed to. That is not to say it didn't have some dynamite sights, they just weren't in your face all the time. I cranked up the tunes and explored the insides of my skull for a while and rolled into Mulege in the early afternoon.
I like this town... it is full of old buildings that are being used for normal purposes.
Prison with a view (for the guards, anyway).
A sign said handicrafts for sale, so I rode up the gate and got past the first set of bars. A really buff inmate sold me a keychain and cloth bracelet.
Remy was deeply interested in what I was doing.
After a couple of minutes I asked "Shouldn't you get back to the group, won't the teacher get mad at you?".
"Oh, she will. She always does."
