Chasing The Sun

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.
