Veracruze to Catemaco

Just when you think there is no way we could go any slower, we did! Today we traveled about 95 miles. All 2 lane roads through many small villages and a lot of hilly curves, behind slow trucks. This is the sugar cane growing region and the harvest is on. We must have gone over more than 50 topas, it was brutal. It took us almost 6 hours. We are camped next to the river below Lake Catemaco which is just a few hundred yards away. What a luxury, this campground even has wifi! We had a margarita party after everyone got set up. Then we barbecued the big shrimps we bought fresh several days ago. Pam is sound asleep. Tomorrow is a free day and my guess is we will do very little. It is a little chilly, almost down to 70° (I am writing this outside in my shorts and a tee-shirt)

I'm enjoying your blog. In looking at the map you are already close to Central American. It doesn't seem to me that it has taken you all that long to reach it. But then I haven't been in the speeding up/slowing down traffic you have been experiencing. The curves in the road would have gotten to me a long time ago.
Enjoy your travels!
