On hwy 15D to Ruiz through first "serious" hills since we started from Mazatlán. Almost all roads in Ruiz, except the main street, are paved with small rocks and boulders which make them the worst nightmare for bicyclists.
Learning:
- that tarantulas and coral snakes live here (we saw one tarantula alive and many coral snakes flat on the road)
- that there is many kinds of green (especially after 9 months in Cabo Pulmo with it's desert around) - that there is more motorcycles (brand Italica) than flies in Ruiz
- that five years old boy with his younger brother can drive the four wheeler motorcycle on the main road in full traffic
- that even though you are looking only for water, you can get dinner, bed and warm shower (but you must be charming, communicative and fluent in Spanish like Barbora :-))
- that rock (music) is not dead in Mexico
Living:
~ since morning we were cycling between hills
~ one moment the road is empty and in a second it is full of semi-trucks (convoy with maybe 10 semi-trucks in the row)
~ we passed through first real forest after more than 10 months, enjoying all those trees, vines, leaves and all different kinds of green
~ in Ruiz we were looking for "purificadora de agua" and met one family of mother and two daughters who were very exited when they found out that we aren't gringos, but from Slovakia. Later that day we met them again, this time in park after we had lunch (street food - whole grilled chicken with tortillas, salad, pasta and tree different kinds of salsa, all for 60 pesos) and they were so amazing and invited us to their home, later took us to small rock concert of local music school, and gave us a tour of Ruiz with climbing the hill above Ruiz where we had beautiful view of the night city. And then they took us for dinner. We'll never forget the "gorditas" from Ruiz. Thank you very much Alma, Rachel and Milashaska.
