¡In Aculpoco!

The last few days have been a real adventure. We have been driving from Mazatlan down the coast and today we are in Acapulco. We spent Christmas eve in a very cool little beach town called Barre Navidad (by some cosmic chance), which had wonderful Christmas eve celebrations. Christmas was a really nice long day of driving along gorgeous coastline and through twisty (very twisty!) roads. We met up with 5 other bikers on the ferry from La Paz and have started an impromptu biker gang. There is Mario from Guatemala who lives in BC, Marcel from Switzerland, Robert from Oregon, and Peter from San Diego. It has been a great benefit to ride in a group, and the camaraderie is really nice. Yesterday Mario got ran off the road when a car went into his lane, and we all went and got him up, and going again. He was ok, but really shaken up. His rear rack was broken, and his front fork was out of alignment, but we found a long piece of rebar and we managed to get it straight again. The moral of story is to expect oncoming traffic at every corner.
