I'm Pregnant!

So I've had these two "infected" mosquito bites for about a month now. I wasn't too worried about it until I was sitting and enjoying a sunset and noticed movement inside the wounds. Yep, I've got Bat Flies in my arm and they don't wanna come out. I did some research and I can either let them leave my body on their own or I can get them cut out. Hmm, what should I do? I tried putting rubber cement on them to suffocate them but it didn't work. I think maybe I'll bring them back to Colorado for everyone to enjoy. Any doctors out there?

To the beaches we go

After riding 1300 miles in 16 days I have dramatically slowed down the pace in honor of the beaches, it would be an insult to just ride by all of these beautiful places. Beach world began in southern Oaxaca and I'm now outside of Acapulco, beachin it the whole way up the coast with my buddy Jeff. We've found tiny laid back fishing villages and super duper mega cities like Acapulco. Note to anyone who wants to ride their bikes into Acapulco-Don't attempt this on a Friday evening during rush hour after already riding 80 miles. Jeff and I rode up a super steep hill with cars whizzing past the whole way, it was tough, hot and hectic. It was like riding into a big american city with all of Uncle Sam's best lining the road. McDonalds, Wal Mart, Hooters (their billboards with booby girls got us excited) and every other chain you could want. We rewarded ourselves with lots of great food, great tasting but not very healthy. This is what I ate on Friday night, a big slice of pizza, corn on the cob, sugar donut, a big fried platain smothered in condensed milk, ice cream and then another slice of pizza. Acapulco is amazing, I had no idea that it is so freakin huge. High rise hotels, tons of traffic and lots of taco stands make this place what it is. It is also a very sexy city, this place exudes sex from all its corners. Everwhere I went men would come up and say, "hey, you want a chica?", "Are you looking for something special?" No I dont want a chica, I want a taco man!!!! The cliff divers were the highlight of our short stay, these guys are amazing. I actually thought that the climbing of the cliffs was more of a talent than jumping off of them. They cruised straight up like the rock faces like agile little monkeys. On my way out of Acapulco a nice sedan drove up next to me and I was a little taken back. "uh oh, are they gonna push me over and rob me?" Not at all, a woman stuck her hand our and passed me a can of cold beer. I looked into the car and her husband was pumping his arm in support, "hey man, that one is for you!" I like my Mexican support vehicles, I just wish that they had given me the beer at the end of the day, it was still a bit early to partake in drinking and riding. We have a few more beaches to go until we turn inland and head for the hills. All is well and the beans are powering us like champs.

Sleeping in a tent on the beach is amazing, the sand is soft to sleep on and the tent protects you from all the biting flies.

These guys are crazy, the cliffs are 35 meters high and they jump into big waves. They pray at an altar before making the big leap. Yeehaa! I thought about trying it on my bike but they wouldn't let me.
