Aconchi to Hermosillo

We´ve been spending some real quality time at some great hotsprings in Aconchi - one day turned into three when we realized how great the water was and that the city was having it´s annual fiesta last weekend (nov.19th) - great live cumbia music, fair rides and lots of tecate. We must have missed the parades for revolution day (nov. 20th) but there was a four day weekend here. Now we´re in Hermosillo, Andy is catching a ride to tucson for thanksgiving so pxl and I are headed to the beach - bahia kino for the next week.

The health system here is much more affordable than in the states. Pxl was able to get his teeth fixed for $150 and I had some minor hand surgery for only $50.

So far my bike has had:
-one flat
-two broken spokes (heavy ass bike bouncing on rocky, hilly, dirt road)
-front rack semi-failure (repaired creativly, stronger than ever now)
I was able to fix everything on the spot, feeling good about any forseeable repair needs.

a la playa!
