Today we plan on making about 656 km to Guadalahara. We have been averaging less than 50 MPH. Not the best but we are driving a tank in traffic and up mountains. We hit about 7,800 in elevation going through the mountains yesterday.
It was 50 degrees in the morning…. cold for 30 year old Diesel engines and tall bald white gringos. Had to warm up the GWagon and park it in a handicap spot which means nothing here.
Dear Apple – please stop crashing my iPhone while taking photos. It’s annoying.
We have developed a list of possible problems and are developing solutions in advance. The biggest of these problems is that there are NO Monster White’s in all of freaking Central America.
In the States it’s “Protect and Serve” but more like “Pester and Swindle” in Mexico.
Oops… didn’t mean to go through Guadalajara Centro… but got a cool reflection picture!!
So it looks like we actually drove around 885 kilometers today. We went past Guadalajara and on to Tepic.
Tomorrow – Mazatlan and the ferry to La Paz and Baja California.
