Loreto

Our ride from the beautiful beaches of the Bahia to Loreto was a particularly hard one after so many days off.  It was also over ninety kms of self punishment along rolling hills with a cross-wind.  Still, we made the distance we needed to and resolved to push the hill and get inland today.  We still hoped to get to Guadalajara for Christmas, and will need to average 80km a day to get there!

Loreto is a sleepy town of 14,000 with a historic district, several grocery stores, and beautiful views of the ocean and mountains. There is an island offshore that boasts fantastic scuba-diving, but I bet it generally has some incredible beaches that would be wonderful to while away some time at.

We got food, water, dinner, and a shower before our trip inland into the desert again.  After so many days on the ocean, a hot-hot shower was just what the doctor ordered.
