The usual start - very early and very fast. The road gently descended towards the coast, rolling but more down than up. We are riding quite quickly now, as a whole - I know the exact pace to set, Dad finds the right drafting zone, and Tim slips in behind. Passing through the little Mayan towns the group breaks up to roll over the interminable speed bumps, then we regroup on the other side. We are now riding past much more farmland than before - even having to slow down for some fowl and their chicks to cross the road. Well before the heat set in we rolled into Campeche, the local state capital. A crowded, hot ride in through town brought us to the cobblestoned old town/tourist district. After hitting the Scotiabank we walked a bit on the waterfront, then pigged out on a well-deserved all-you-can-eat buffet (Chinese!). Nice to have some variety.
The next 3 days has us following the Gulf of Mexico coastline Southwestwards - hopefully some good beachtime to be had.
