12/20 Two days after the Ride

Last full day on Zihuatenejo. Sharyn and Kathleen are off to the airport after Sharyn realized she was leaving today and not tomorrow. Planned to shop today, but it looks like many shops ar closed on Domingo(Sunday). Packed bike and suitcase.  Had my last mexican meal, pork tacos, visited the celebration in the square complete with Michael Jackson impersonator, mostly traditional dancing and music. 

No bike issues on this ride other than one or two minor shifter adjustments.  I finished two books on this trip and started a third.  That's alot of reading for me.  It takes people more or less time to tune into the relaxed vacation mode as well as the very relaxed Mexican mode of life.  Some people are ready from the start, it takes me four or five days, some people never seem to relax completely.

Coffee and Internet is more available each time I come to Mexico, this is my fourth trip.  Cell phones work in most places but are expensive to use even with discount plans.  Lower cost choices are phone cards or Skype.  After a few days I did get Skype to work and it seemed very good.
