12 October 2011Today was a short day, only 184 miles. A lot of traffic getting out of Durango. The highway, Ruta 45, to Zacatecas is for the most part four lane with a 110K speed limit. Several military checkpoints but they just waive motorcycles through. It was 59 degrees when we departed and never warmed up. Locals say that this is very cold weather for this time of the year.

On and off drizzle on the trip over to Zacetecas. Staying at the Hotel Hacienda Del Bosque, rated three stars in the AAA guide book for Mexico. $74 US plus tax. A very nice place and a fine lunch. It's starting to really rain so instead of riding in to town we may just eat here at the hotel.

Very fast Wi-Fi at the hotel. A treat!

It's off to Guatalajara tomorrow, Thursday, unless the rain is too heavy. They expect the hurricane weather to pass through Guadalajara tonight/tomorrow so we'll check in the AM and make a decision.
