I hung out in Guadelupe Victoria, then made my way towards Tlaxcala, via some salt flats! It was a weird day riding thru some kind of salt bog, but we made it to Carmen, then after a couple hours, found our place to stay. It was quite the night.
Leaving Guadelupe Victoria. Saying goodbye to Arturo and Pica de Orizaba.

Daily pit stop.
Catholic procession as I entered Carmen.
Then we made it towards Huamantla, to visit with friends from last year. My cold came back so I laid low, but also, I gave presentations at a local school.
If you thought Hotel California was scary, wait til you try AUTOHotel California…
Beautiful, peaceful Tlaxcala.

Then it was off to visit my friends in Apizaco, where I had stayed last year as well. I rested up one day and my cold almost left.
With Jessica Mata.
Just hanging out…
It was nice visiting Gustavo and family in Huamantla and Jessica and family in Apizaco, it felt like being home after a long time away.
