into guererro negro

for the last leg of our journey to the coast, we were immediately surprised when we were leaving our campsite and were met by two other cycle-tourists!  Virgil and Maryanna from France made their way down the cascade mountains from Alaska, south. Basically riding the highest altitude route they could find south.

The ride was another longer one, about 110km, and got excited to hear that there were yet two more cycle tourists on the road with us, on a tandem, though we had yet to meet them.  At the next town we caught up with the Frenchies, had some pop and talked.  The tandem went by! I didn't even see them. Then Virgil and Maryanne left town but we kept talking to a fellow headed south by van ( thanks for the avacado, Clayton) and continued on.  We shortly passed the French cyclists fixing a flat and then kept on.   They did not pass us again but we did get into town after riding behind the tandem a while! where are they?
Couldn't see them, parked,waved at them when we saw them but went for lunch.  Headed south. Once we got into Guererro Negro, some military checkpoint personel (hear they're looking for guns) told us a big group of cyclists rolled in about an hour before.  They would probably be our erstwhile companions. We started to go about looking for a good price on a hotel with a blog guide giving us the idea that 250 pesos is a good number to aim for.
We met Paul and Alexa (the tandem) at the second hotel we checked and grabbed their email planning to meet later at the taco stand across the street.   They are staying a rest day too; perfect!
Got a hotel room (300 pesos, wifi and hot water)  but it wasen't quite as nice as Paul and Alexa's, went for dinner and then to  bed.  What a day!
