Hualtulco Oaxaca Mexico 65 miles, 4581ft climbing, 91 degrees today

We left Puerto Esondido this morning. Another hard place to leave. Elena, Esmeralda, and Ella were super cool to us. They were trying to cajole us into staying another night and tried their darndest to keep us out late by putting mojitos in front of us but I told them I had a schedule to keep.



Well I kept it and I don't think they were stoked. They treated us so well and the 5 of us have had a blast watching last nights sunset.



They also took us to the market yesterday

We said our goodbyes which I'm terrible at. I usually just say bye for now and that's it.


So we rolled out about 7:30am. It's getting light at about 6:30am now so hopefully we can ride earlier because today's ride was just insanely hot. It was 91 degrees at mile 40. We rode 65 miles today. 4581 ft if vertical climbing. Man the numbers never lie. Today was a tough one. We finished and we got a hotel in Huatulco, Oaxaca Mexico. The awesome thing is that the hotels are getting super cheap now. The hostel in Puerto was $10 a night per person and it was first class. Tonights hotel is great at it's $15 total for 2 people with the Internet out the door. Plus it has a pool that i already jumped straight into in my cycling kit. But the clincher is that the people here are happy to have us and thank makes all the difference after a long day of riding. It is so much easier just ridin and checking into a hotel especially when its 91 degrees out. Riding your bike over 4000 miles from Hudson Ohio starts to have it's privileges and I'm able to spend about $8-$10 a night now on lodging and $10 a day for food. AWESOME. $20 a day to do this. AMAZING. The terrain keeps getting cleaner and more tropical with each passing day.
