It was a decent ride today, not too easy and not too hard. The difficulty came mostly from headwinds and rollers, so that’s no fun, but it really wasn’t bad. The trick is to leave real early and get the jump on the wind. It wasn’t too hot, but it got sticky and I was glad for a shower when the day was over. I expect more of the same for tomorrow. Nothing really interesting in my immediate path that I can see…

Sleepy Boca del Rio had exploded in the 47 years since I last was here, and introduced to pico del gallo for the first time

Now all one could want for is found here

Not a lot of scenery. This was typical, once I’d left the city

And ice cold fresh pineapple juice! I had two of these

Change of scenery as I ride the spit into Alvarado

My first choice hotel was up a steep hill, so I skipped it

Today's ride: 48 miles (77 km)
Total: 2,447 miles (3,938 km)
