10-16-08 Peto to Oxkutzcab

I made a new friend in Peto. Fransico owns the internet cafe i was using. He is learning English, and was interested in speaking with me for practice. In the end we stayed up late watching a conspericy movie about 9-11 banking. Got me thinking with the 'bailout' where did all the money go, and where will all the new money go? I guess just to the banks so they can do more business, right? Also the news suggested that bankers just woke up one morning and all the bank was empty, they just did not see it comming. Man, they were in the business of money and in the end they had no idea how it worked........that is true, right? And so we have to give them more money? We were drinking beer with lime juice and habenero peppers, very good. Fransico and his family were going to Media, the largest city in the Yucatan for businiess, so I hitched a ride to the exit for Oxkutzacab and rode from there, only about 25km.

I had some food and different fresh citrus drinks while we waited for Fransicos wife to get off work. We hand 'american' style food. It was very good, but I did not tell them american food never is cooked with habenero peppers.


This picture is dark, but it is Fransisco in his fathers kitchen. You can see the increadable garden in the back.

This ruin was the side of the road into town. You cannot see it in this picture, but it was ripped open and a very unusual oval shaped building was inside.


The plan was to leave at 12-1pm for Medida. I think we were on the road between 3-4. Everying is much slower here. Made it into town as the sun was setting. Stayed at Las Palmeras.
Distance rode: 25km
Trip Total: 605km
