Day 5 and 6

This is a shot overlooking the town we stayed day 4 San miguel de Allende. Its really like the aspen of the san madre mts in this area. Unfortunately there are many European and other international residents. The town was gorgeous with amazing plaza and cathedrals.





This is a religious parade we saw at dinner one night


This is ricardo as he is now known in a small mercado in Huamantla ..i think its beginning to blend together most of the towns...




All you pharma geeks viewing this a a shot for u they have these dancing people outside on the sidewalks with music blasting to help draw customers. Maybe I can get CVS to give me a job doing this gig. Its kinda cool going in farmacias as you get get almost anyhting over the counter. We may have to hit a farmacia for one of our team members.








To the left is street musicians..quite good





Here is one of the many awesome plaza in the town we stayed. We need something like this in bloomsburg. Great place to watch people and certainly be watched by the mexicanos.

Motorcycle travel is a lot more grueling than expected. We left San miguel heading towards pico de orizaba heading thru towns of pachuca and apizaco to finally after 10 hrs travel arrive in Huamantla. It was a very traditional mexican town with centro plaza and simple yet wonderful architecture. As we arrived in town late we had our first small casualty. One member had to have Doc Rob do some patch work. He´s a bit gimpy but a tough ol Brit. We stayed the night in town then headed for mt Orizaba to clim to base camp with the motorbikes. base camp is around 15,000 feet but we been staying at around 6,000 - 8,000 ft most nights. Hoping it is going to be nice weather for our trek to pico de Orizaba. Overall awesome 2 days as we had no runnings with the federales.
