Rosamorada, NAY
While in Mazatlan (eating fresh fish probably) I was looking at a map when I realized had crossed the Tropic of Cancer just the day before. Â Either there was no sign on the highway or I missed it, so no picture. Â Oh well, on to the equator!
NAY stands for Nayarit, which is the 3rd state of Mexico on this trip so far. Â Up until now I’ve mostly been at sea level, though tomorrow I am headed to Tepic, at about 3,000 feet. Â I’ve done little climbing the past month and a half, so it will be a little challenging.
I ran into a cyclist yesterday, Nelson from Portugal. Â He started in New Jersey about 5 months ago. Â It has been good to have some company, the last time I cycled with someone was in Arizona over a month and a half ago.
From here I plan on going to Guadalajara and from there figuring out where to go for the Christmas and New Years.
If you were just a few days slower, you could have celebrated the solstice at the Tropic of Cancer.
Oops, wrong solstice/wrong tropic. I’m silly.
Hey buddy, just wondering where you are now. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas, off the bike for a few days. Happy 2010!
