Another perfect day in Mexico

Another perfect day in Mexico

I just dried off after a very refreshing out door shower under the stars. Three hundred feet in front of me I can hear the waves crashing on the beach, competing with the music from a wedding party that is not too far away. Earlier I was served some delicious pollo, a cold cerveza and some ice cream, which tasted like heaven since I haven't hand any in a long time. Yet again Nate and I have managed to find a little slice of paradise to camp on. As our day light was getting low we arrived in Acapulco, a stunning city right on the coast, full of hills and cliffs with beautiful homes and buildings and of course amazing beaches. We took our time riding though, enjoying the incredible views, ridding with some fellow adventures riders and snapping some shots when we could. Realizing all the hotels were way out of our budget we headed for the beach on the out skirts of the city hoping to find something cheaper or a camp ground to set up on for the night. After a few stops we didn't see anything and were about to call it a bust and head for San Marcos when we came across a little restaurant by the beach that appeared to have a few folks around. We pulled up and after some sign language and a few simple questions in Spanish it was soon understood what we were looking for. The mother of the family came home and soon we were making new friends, setting up our tents and enjoying the sunset. It's wonderful how generous the people of Mexico are. Most of the time all it takes is saying hello and asking if camping on their property is ok. They welcomed us with open arms and were eager to learn where we were from and where we were headed. It's simple living here on this beautiful beach and yet they have have wifi and with the press of a button the world becomes very small. We soon became Facebook friends and like that our lives were connected. It's pretty surreal. After setting up camp we relaxed  and exchanged simple conversation around the outdoor dining table. A few hundred yards down the beach there was a wedding taking place as the sun set. It sounds cliche but it was truly beautiful. It feels like we've been traveling though Mexico for weeks now since we have covered so many kilometers but in reality this is only our eighth day in our first country. So much more to come, we ride on.
