Ciudad Obregon

We´re in Mexico!
idaho to mexico... and now what? Well, last night we heard something scratching around outside the tent. Kinda sounded like plastic. Grabbed Leah´s headlight and shined it on the culprit. A dog with a bucket on it´s head!

When Gay dropped us off at the border, we were going to look into taking a bus or riding our bikes. We found a bus line that would take our bikes, if we took the wheels off. So we took the bus from Nogales to Guymas, five hours and three movies later we got off in Guymas, a bustling Mexican town with people, cars, buses--everywhere. Then the sun went down and it was dark. What to do, what to do?
We had tacos. and soda.
The man who worked the tacorilla said the public beach was only five kilometers away and it would be a nice quite place to camp. We had to ask two more people before we foudn what we thought was the playa. The next morning we woke up with shrimpers and fisherman in there boats looking at us while they were unloading their boats and every time someone would walk by they would say,¨what´s with those guys¨ only in spanish... we had camped on the sand of the inlet with the beach behind us, thirty meters away. Yet, everybody was really nice about it and just gave us wierd looks.

We have been traveling on the main interstate and then some secondary highways. Most everybody has been really nice and slow down or go way around us. I am thankful. Also, we have seen lots of people on bikes. That is really nice.

I am practicing my Spanish and Leah has made me ask the directions a couple times... so maybe I am improving. Leah is emailing some of the WOOFer farms right now, that could be really cool. It would be nice to be in one place for a little while, could help a lot with learning español.

I have yet to understand the link-deally with pictures and all that with the what-what and the deallies... but for now here is a link to my picasa account:
