Randy riding road to Ojuelos

Some of you have asked if it's getting really, really hot down here (yet). Well, the weather is surprisingly moderate so far, mostly because we're at a high elevation (7000-8000 feet, 2100-2500 meters above sea level). The morning of April 11 we woke up at our campsite to ice crystals on our tent - the temperature was 32 F (0 C). But when we left at 9:30 or so, we didn't have our coats on, and by mid-afternoon it was quite sunny and uncomfortably hot (not intolerable, but pretty stinking hot). Most days it hasn't been near that cold. We're worried about what will happen when we descent to the east or west coast, and about the lowlands of the Yucatan. But I guess we can adapt... or flee... if we get into something we just can't handle.
