short entry, lots of photos...so much has happened in two weeks, basically some (more) beautiful drives, i broke down in lazero cardenas...but it ended up being awesome...a guy i asked for jumper cables ended up taking lindsie and i into his home and giving us amazing food and a bed for three nights...all while helping me troubleshoot and work out the bike (with some phone assistance from ncs, thanks mike)...jeronimo and martha were awesome and made us feel very at home, i even went and worked in the fields with him for a morning. the bike was worked out (for those who want to know, lots of slow city driving with much stopping drained my battery and and the misguided assistance of a man on the streets caused my spark plug wires to get switched...why did he play with my bike? i wasnt looking...) anyway, we moved on to lots of other places...a crazy drive down a dirt/sand/rock road that became a lake after an overnight rain...crocodiles and birds in muzunte...a crazy engish dude and his hostel in puerto escondido...to much for now...we have to get going...nate
