January 7 :: Hopelchen, Mexico :: 73 km / 479km total
A foggy start today, and the humidity never let up. As the Sun rose things started to get pretty hot - but we were into our destiantion town by 11 a.m. and avoided the worst of it. Today's highlights included drafting behind a tractor for a few kilometres, and the first signs of fields/cows etc. Still, mostly we rode through undulating jungly terrain. We also entered a new state, our third of the trip: Campeche. We will be in the state's namesake town tomorrow night. No pic today due to slow internet :-(
