Its raining here in Potrero Chico. Forced rest day. Climbed Access Denied yesterday and led the crux pitch. It's a beautiful line up an arrett, 4 pitches, 10c, smooth rock and an ominous roof. Then did some cragging later in the day and got my ass handed to me on an 11b. I took a mean whipper on a 10c and my right foot got worked. Made friends with the best cooks in Posada and I have been eating very well for the last week or so. We are headed to the market soon (there is one every tuesday and friday). I can buy all the fresh fruit and veggies I want for under $10. And everytime you buy produce you get bundle of free cilantro. A cement factory in the heart of Hildago was once the backbone of the town's economy. It shut down a little under a year ago, and now climbers bring a lot of money to the community. Needless to say the locals are very good to us here.
I think I may head south within the next two weeks. Probably to Veracruz, Oaxaca, and then to the Yucatan.
Bisou.
Oh, yea... already ripped a hole in the butt of one of my pants...... wishing I had brought more clothes.
