Sitting outside of a Haagen-dazs ice cream shop in Acapulco, using their wi-fi connection and having our eardrums drilled out by a blaring, looping track of Scissor Sisters and various other techno and house music. Surreal. Enormous speakers must be cheap in Mexico. They are everywhere. Everywhere.
Going to plug my ears and take advantage of the strong and free signal to upload some photos.
Thanks to everybody who made donations! Good luck in the raffle. I hope you win.
Cheers from the road!

-
- This was one of the weird paintings at the hotel we stayed at in La Paz, Baja. I’m not entirely sure, but I think this is the story of the founding of Mexico. From what I can deduct, Mexico is what happens when a giant turkey vulture and a man love each other very much.

- The Playa del Ciclista Chistmas card. That’s British Chris on the right.
-
- Our first glimpse of the Bay of Conception on the sea of Cortez. Our hidden beach is just around the corner there. Hidden though, so you can’t see it.
-
- When we first met British Chris on the road in Baja.
-
- This is a sandy road we tried to push our bikes through for 4 kilometers in an attempt to get to a beach. We gave up and later heard from a local that we took a wrong turn and the beach is beautiful. We didn’t go back.

- Bryan on a rock in the Baja desert.
-
- The Pesion California in Baja. Sweet relief from the desert while waiting for our ferry to take us to the mainland.

- Everything is more festive in Mexico. Even the pens at the post office.

- One of the things you can’t do on the ferry from La Paz to Mazatlan
-
- Holy crap! A bed! In La Paz, Baja South
-
- Theresa and Kyler made us the best breakfast we’d had in ages near Mulege, Baja South. Thanks guys! Great meeting you.

- Some of the little cactus land mines that destroyed our tubes at a roadside campsite.
-
- Sunrise near Mulege, Baja South
-
- They do the kilometer markings on the road from town to town, not the entire stretch of the road. Kind of confusing.
-
- Joaquin and some Mexican dogs.
-
- Joaquin at one of our rest stops.
Keep on truckin’! Your pictures are great. Went for a freezing ride up and down the Vail Valley yesterday. No ice/snow. Plenty o’ speed!
Nice Matt! It’s beautiful there. For sure.
