Veracruz
Nov 15
We made it to Mexico´s “other coast”, the big Gulf of Mexico. One the map, if you drew a line straight down from Huston Texas, the line would intersect Veracruz. We have now traveled 3,187 miles from San Jose.
Riding in at dusk, we found this great hotel right across the street from the water for $27 a night. The surf on the water was very mild that evening, but the next day brought 40 + MPH winds that was driving water and sand onto the road (see pictures). So we are staying 2 days and getting the laundry done, plus writing to the blog.
