Well, another long day in the saddle. It took us forever to cross through Puebla (city of 1.5 million), and the air was noticably brown compared to what we've been used to. Most of today was spent circling around part of the twin megavolcanoes of Popo (active) and Izta (dormant). A long slog, but we are happy to be a bit ahead of schedule and can ease up a bit over the next few days. A big Italian meal here in Cuautla helps to make the little aches and pains go away!

Too bad you do not have any time to do some hiking around these mountains/vulcanoes.
Ya, that would be fun. We're pretty focused on getting to the coast, though.
