Roberto Rosas & Sylvia Salinas

I had breakfast with Tom, who made some calls and told me there are no hotels until the next big city 200 kms away.  So he arranged for me to stay with his in-laws who live 80 kms away.  With a short day of cycling I did some chores before leaving at 11 am.  On the way a TV crew shot a short clip of me cycling by and saying “Feliz Dia del Padre!”  I guess they do celebrate Father’s Day here.  I’m staying with Roberto Rosas and his wife Sylvia Salinas.  Roberto’s father was an American GI who had to leave Panama when Pearl Harbor was attacked and was never heard from again.  I replaced the chain with the new one I got my last day in Mexico three weeks ago and also fixed the front bottle cage that fell off my first day in Guatemala.  I borrowed Roberto’s drill to fix the mountimg bracket.  It feels good to get some procastinated chores completed.
