Cycling from Acapulco to San Marcos in Mexico – Bicycle Touring Blog

The food in Mexico has been mostly hit, although today’s serving of a chicken leg in spicy dishwater was more miss. That said, it did make a pleasant change to get my protein via chicken rather than tuna. (Although I had tuna sandwiches for dinner).

San Marcos, Mexico
