Nearing Aculpoco

The last days since Tepic where wet. At times my feet were in the water while riding. Hurricane John has now passed but the rainy season persists. It has rained every day since I arrived on the main land of Mexico. Also the heat is overwhelming at midday, so siestas are necessary. I have been trying to catch up with Peter(the German guy I rode with in Canada) for the last 2 weeks and I guess I had passed him yesterday sometime. It will be very nice to have a companion for a while if not the rest of the way.
My spanish is making leaps and bounds every day. I have been lucky pretty much every night to have stayed with a new family. Montezuma´s Revenge caught up to me for a week or so, but am good now. The tourist tax is getting less and less as my spanish progresses. I am very anxious to get to the ruins of Mexico down south.
Hope all is well with everyone..
I have been trying to get a hold of some freinds since I have a phone again. So get me some digits. Elliot echem! I have not spoken with my hippie freind in a while.

Oh yeah the other day I was trying to chop open a coconut with my machette. As I was nearing the nut of the coco, it split open with a lot of force and the milk went all over me in the heat of the afternoon. The bad part was that the coconut was rotten and I had no way of washing the vile mess off of my face and arms. It was a long 10 miles to the next river.
Take care all..
