01/01 Lot’s more hill climbing to start the New Year off. After the first huge climb I had a nice long decent down into a valley followed by a nice long climb back out of it again. Great views dropping down into the valley. Saw a fox munching on something down next to the road. Being sans camera no pictures.

I was hoping Magdalena would have a camera shop but I think I might have to wait one more day. I walked around for while but a lot of places are closed for the holiday and it would be hard for me to tell if place sold cameras without being able to see in the store. Since I’ll be in Guadalajara for a few weeks I’ll have some time to look around there for one. Or have one shipped if need be. I don’t stay with my Mexican hosts until Sunday night so I’ll have to find a place for tomorrow night.

Met a guy named Manny while I was sitting outside an ice cream place. He just rode right up on his bike, hopped off and then sat down and started talking. He gave me his card and it looks like he owns a store that sells opals and various other gems. Really friendly guy. It was too bad I couldn’t understand him.

The wind and long uphills helped me break what I think is my lowest average speed for the day, 8.9 mph.
