Mexico - July 13th, 2019

Tepic to Ajijic (157 miles)

Endless fields of Agave as I pass the town of Tequila. The road winds up into the mountains, the trucks crawl along in the right lane, and on one curve I pass thousands of bottles of Victoria beer shattered all over the road. Near Jocotepec the sky finally opens up on me for the first time, and it pours rain.

The best place to meet other bikers is cowering from the cloudburst under a Pemex roof.
