CN - Friday
Unfortunately Sayulita was not all R&R as planned. As Ken mentioned in yesterday's update, my bike went into full electrical shut down as we were coming into Puerto Vallarta. The 45 minute stretch between PV and Sayulita had power coming on and off randomly. By the time I hit Sayulita, there was nothing. No lights, starter, etc. So Friday after a delicious breakfast and Bloody Mary's, we spent about 5 hours re-wiring the electrical system to bypass the faulty key switch (which we think was causing the problem) and fiddling with the carburetor. The key is now just a decoration on my bike as it has been bypassed with some switches we found in a hardware store. Hopefully Saturday will be a trouble free for my bike. Something that hasn't really happened yet. I believe the thing is actually cursed. Probably not going to be sad to dump it in South America at the end. We'll see.
The late afternoon consisted of delicous ceviche, guacomole and cold beers with an ocean view. I could easily spend a week here, but we need to keep moving. Saturday morning we will head down the pacific coastline and explore some more beach towns. Hopefully the food will be just a good as Sayulita - which is exceptional. For dinner it was fish tacos and of course Ivan's al Pastor tacos, topped off with a Wakika coconut cream popsicle.
Chao for now Sayulita.
