A couple of days later

Here we are in a hotel in Villahermosa, and what a couple of days it has been. I am not sure if the back dirt roads are any worse than the so called paved roads. They like big speed humps here, like really big. Knock yu off your bike if you miss them. On eh secondary roads you get from two to ten of these type bumps to control the speed or is it a way for the bus cars to make money selling thins at each one since you have to almost stop before climbing over them. If you get unlucky enough to get behind a big rig, almost every second one, then you will stop.
I say the wrecks of three rigs over the last two days and I have to say they would have been great to see happen from the side lines. I hope all the drivers were Ok but I don't know. The last one was a cattle hauler and it was upside down. People were butchering the dead and injured animals right there and walking away with a slab of beef. Weird.
The truck drivers are very courteous though, they signal with the signal light when it is safe to pass them. They will even pullover on the shoulder on two lanes and then signal you to go by even on double solid. Cool!!.
Well that's all for now and no new pics.
