Cycling from San Marcos, Mexico
Blog post written Jan 26 2010
I began cycling from San Marcos in Mexico, and met the first Pan-American cyclist coming in the opposite direction that I had seen for a long time.
We had a good roadside chat for well over an hour before parting ways again, and as always, I was filled with a new enthusiasm for the road ahead.

Perhaps as a consequence of the meeting, I found the day's cycling straight forwards, and after a lunchtime stop for a good fish meal, I eventually made Marquelia for just after 14.00.
Another cheapy hotel, which was fully tiled, with metal doors, windows and a fan. I used the internet in a little place just opposite which had a good connection at 10 pesos an hour.
Visitors to my site are holding steady at about 300 a day... Now, I just need to find a way to boost that to 3000 visitors a day!
