Pavement Never Felt So Good

With 50 km of gravel road left to ride, we set out early the next morning trying to ignore the aches from the previous day's jarring ride. The road improved a bit, but that just meant we rattled over smaller bumps at higher speed as we rode through a scenic countryside of small cattle ranches. Our trusty steeds made it back to their native habitat of asphalt roads with only one flat tire and dust coated chains. We celebrated with some delicious ice cream in Las Cruces and pushed on to La Libertad for a comfortable night at the volunteer fire fighters station. The next morning we bought our first true Guatemalan meal at a roadside stand and watched as they cooked it up on their oil barrel stove - it was delicious!Weiterlesen
