Since my moped didn't make the trip with us, I've been jones'n to feel the rush of speed on two wheels. So, we rented a motorcycle, a 125cc Honda (no license required. God I love Mexico). For 40 bucks you get the bike for 24 hours, helmets, insurance, and the freedom to go where ever your heart desires. Now, my only experience with riding a motorized bike is from the moped, which has one gear and one brake and weighs about 70 lbs. Needless to say, getting used to a clutch and gears took a few spins around the block and a few embarrassing stalls in the middle of town straddling a giant topes (speed bump). But after that, we hit the open highway and headed north to a nice little agua caliente (hot spring) about a 50 minute ride away.
The hot mineral water was a welcome relief after the ride and we soaked our weary bones for a few hours before heading back home.
Finally, the long awaited action shots of the elusive surfer, Ol' Spinny are here! She only makes one request, and that is this song be played while the pictures are viewed.
So, turn up yer speakers, dust off yer old hearing aid, crack a beer, and do whatever else you need to do to, sit back, relax, and enjoy.
As the title suggests our time here has gone by extremely fast, while on the other hand our blog posts have slowed to a crawl, at best. For this, I must apologize to all our faithful blog followers, (sorry Mom and Dad)...
With two weeks left in mexico, the brutal realization that we're not gonna be able to wear flip flops anymore has struck hard. Winter is coming, and theres no escaping this time, but as truth northmen we will grin and bear it. Because at the end of the day winter is in our bones and there is a sick little part of me that misses it.
