Wind. Again the wind. I’d like to say the sound of it awoke me just now in this tiny hostel in Laguna Bacalar, México but in reality, nothing that simple or soothing pulls you from slumber here. It always seems to be the roosters first, then the insulted dogs,...

Long brutal day of high winds, then really high winds, then road construction…and then the rains came. Lasted most of the ride. Finally pulled the plug around 8 pm, had a bite to eat and then bunked in. Holly wanted to camp out but Dad sprang for a cheap motel....
