Yesterday we rode in the state of Oaxaca, from Octolan to Puerta Angel. It was the best day yet. The mountains offered challenges and thrills. The first photo was taken outside the restaurant where we had breakfast after an 8 am start by 10 am we needed a cup of tea to carry on. We were able to make tea in our thermal cups that Kim gave us for Christmas using the electrical unit Alison gave us in Tepostlan and the tea bags that Stephanie brought from Ontario. We made the tea before we left the hotel knowing it would be a warm comfort later in the morning. It was the best cup of tea of my life. The waitress at the restaurant was impressed and surprised that we had our own tea but didn't question it.
The following two road signs were frequently posted on the side of the road. I counted 11 like the first, one turn signs, and 29 of the second, two or three twists signs, in a 20 km stretch. I continued to keep score but quit when the total was over 60 signs. Like I said, it was an incredible ride. I am slowly wearing down the bottoms of my foot pegs on the tight turns and switch backs.
There were other livestock along and on the road too but these guys actually posed for a photo and took their good old time letting us pass. The best part of this ride was the lack of traffic in both directions.
