It was time for a rest day during my Mexico bike ride, so I chilled out in Barra de Navidad. Part of my bike touring adventure from Alaska to Argentina.

Day off in Barra de Navidad

(Blog post written January 14th 2010)

I had already decided to take the day off upon arriving, in order to recharge the batteries and eat anything that basically wasn't a tuna fish sandwich.

There's a nice little restaurant up the road that does reasonably priced meals, I had a play with my websites, sat on the beach, and generally chilled out.

Unless the night time entertainment produces something spectacular, I'll be moving on tomorrow though!
