Very hot day again. We climbed one big hill and we entered wide and flat land and left hills further on the East. After a good downhill ride we came to the town called Escuinapa. Our cell phone battery was almost empty so it was easy decision to stay here, especially when Baška found stand with friendly Mexicans and an outlet which we could use. The main square with ugly looking cathedral was full of life, streets full of cars and smoke, from local market place one could hear mix of mariachi records and cover versions of American bands. Suddenly one guy, sitting in the nearby shoe cleaner stand, asked us about our journey. It turned out that he was from fire department and invited us to stay overnight in local firemen station. We still needed to charge our laptop and possibility of shower was attractive as well, so we agreed. I had headache since yesterday evening (probably too much sun and too little water) so this opportunity to rest was timed perfectly.
The firemen station turn out to be nothing fancy, just small building with workroom and bathroom, outdoor "something-like" kitchen. Communication centre with radios and internet (still playing mariachies on YouTube) was in big trailer. The firemen were friendly and invited us for lunch. We could leave all our stuff there with no worries, while doing some grocery shopping in the town. And even though it had been only two days on the road, it was nice to take a shower :-).
