Batopilas day 2

This morning we slept in for the first time. We decided to have day off and enjoy batopilas . Its such a cute city with green pink purple sky blue painted houses along the river for 2 kilomters and 300 meters as our 20 year old friend from last night told us. It could be the town from 100 years of solitude.

We made real coffee in the hotel before we left. First good coffee since tonis house. Then we went for a walk through town until we got hungry. We found a little porch that was more like residence and had eggs machaca. In the back they were making tamales for the school lunch meal. We really wanted some off that so the woman let is have a taste of the meat. So Good!

The food has been just amazing. Not a bad meal since we crossed the border. Then we put on some skirts since it was like 75f. My skirt had some ink stains on it and my hair was all messed up and alex thought we all look like little girls except we have more expensive toys and our playground is a lot lot bigger now.

we put our suits over the skirts and made our way to the mision pedita in satevo. Paige and alex two up since the beemer is still in la bufa. 8 km out of batopilas along the river under a dramatic sky of lots of little clouds. The mision is under restoration but we could still go inside where they were building a christmas tree out of palm tree leaves.


Alex did a sketch of the mision and paige and I retreated to the shade since it was really hot. I was glad we had skirts on. When we got back we dropped off alex and went a little more dirt bike riding . We did another 3000 feet up made some amazing pictures and turned around . On the way down paige stopped unexpectedly right in front of me to make pictures and to evade her I had to lay down the bike. So now everybody laid down the bike once.

This was just after we had agreed on making a hand signal before stopping so this would not happen. I was also following to close...lesson learned.

anyway nothing happened we picked up the bike went back to town. Alex heard us coming (it´s a small town) and came to meet us and we had some really good tacos dorados. We actually thought dorados was fish. Turned out it meant golden and was fried pork. So Good.

Then we got gas and retreated to drink ballenas. Alex has to get up at 430 tomorrow to get the bus back to the bike and we will leave at the crack of dawn to meet her at la bufa.
