Trip Log

Notes Actions
I caught a cold on the bus from Izamal so I’m taking it easy but I was still able to make it out for a short ride on the Sunday morning Biciruta. Every week they shut down the northbound side of Paseo de Montejo to vehicle traffic. There were supposed to be some more streets blocked off as well but no… it was just PdM. The highlight was seeing the Monumento a la Patria at the north end of the Biciruta. We dropped the bikes off and walked down to the main square to see the weekly market.
