Tehuantepec to San Cristobal
20 October 2011Today, due to a wrong turn, a 260 mile day became a 361 mile day. Missed the turn and followed the GPS not realizing we were do a 'great circle' route. Anyway, we did get to experience some pretty serious road construction. Once we got past that we encountered some of the biggest pot holes I've ever seen. Big around as a bushel basket and about a foot deep. Motorcycle killers. Cars and trucks were all over the road trying to miss them and the speed dropped to about 15mph. Quite a few miles of them. No fun. Left at 09:30 and got here at 18:30. A very long day.
Tomorrow is a sightseeing day and we're off to Palenque.
Saturday we'll head in to Guatemala.
