Juchitan is cool

I need to apologize for my last post. I just reread it and it is peppered with mistakes and typos. I can barely understand what I was typing.

Anyways yesterday we had another big day and went 150 miles past our planned stop of Acapulco to Pinotepa Nacional. Acapulco was a mess and we just wanted to get out of that place. It was so hot and the stop and go traffic was extremely stressful. I cannot imagine what Mexico City must be like. These towns were just never layed out for the number of people that currently inhabit them.

Today we got to Juchitan, a very cool little city. read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juchitán_de_Zaragoza

Clay and I ventured out to the sat night market and festivities. pretty fun. Bought some bread and bananas from the local vendors for breakfast tomorrow. I don´t need to tell you that it was dirt cheap. A lot of the time i feel guilty paying these prices... but I do it anyway :)

tomorrow we have a relatively easy ride to the boarder, the mileage is about 250 but the map shows a straight and divided highway, so we should make good time. A funny thing about that, when you ask somebody how far away something is, they never reply with distance they always reply with time in a car, this is because the distance is really irrevalvant, unlike the US in Mexico with the poor infastructure (ie stop lights, signage, road design, towns, slow moving traffic and topes) 20 miles could take you as along as 1 hour to cover.
The plan for tomorrow is to stay at a border town and cross into Guatamela first thing on Monday morning. Thats all for now, just a quick update tonight.
