12/14 The highway into Ciudad Constitucion actually opened up into a 4 lane road which was a first since Tijuana. No bike lane or shoulder though. Still a fair amount of traffic. I wonder if it’ll be like this all the way to La Paz? Wouldn’t surprise me since all the tourist towns are closer now (Cabo San Lucas). Ciudad Constitucion is a good sized city with about 40,000 inhabitants. Unlike other towns/cities it doesn’t have a garbage dump or a section of decrepit-looking buildings on the outskirts of it. Found a great Chinese restaurant to have lunch. This time there were lots of pictures so I kind of knew what I’d be getting.

Some idiot in an unmarked white U-haul-like truck thought it would be funny to drive over into my lane and slam on his horn as he approached. I didn’t have a place to bail off the road and he didn’t come over far enough where I thought I’d have to dive into the ditch. Normally something like this would piss me off for the rest of the day but it was hard to stay mad when half the people that passed me waved or gave me the thumbs up.

For the first time someone spotted me as I was leaving my campsite this morning. It was a guy in a truck but he didn’t seem to care. I looked back down the road and I swore I could see the 2 German riders I saw late yesterday. They are heading up north from Argentina but I didn’t catch to where.

As noted on FB I finally broke 10,000 miles on my trip this morning. Oh and what a 10,000 miles it’s been.
