Day 101 – El Tunco, ES to San Miguel, ES 11/30/10 Mileage: 122
Last night I realized that I had left my white “Pure Big Sky Powder” t-shirt in the hotel back in Acajutla, some 50 miles back. Damn…I like that t-shirt! But was it worth riding 100 miles round trip to fetch it? Well, apparently it is, because I rode my ass back to get it! I don’t think Brian was that thrilled, but that t-shirt has sparked many conversations with strangers, whether it was because it was from Montana or they just liked PBR…and that’s what made it worthwhile to retrieve. Anyway, after spending two hours getting my t-shirt back, we hit the road heading for San Miguel. The ride was quick and uneventful, and now we were in good position to make an early run for the notoriously painful, mind boggling and bureaucratically infuriating Honduras border tomorrow. As it was an short day riding, I spent the afternoon getting a haircut and changing the KLR’s oil.

That night we splurged on a nice steak dinner…beef medallions for Brian and filet mignon for me…both under $15…nice! Tomorrow it’s on to Honduras…country number 7!

I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THE TEE SHIRT WAS STILL THERE!!!!!!!!!! YOU WOULD THINK THAT SOMEONE WOULD OF TAKEN IT HOME. DID YOU MAKE CONTACT WITH THE PLACE TO FIND OUT IF IT WAS STILL THERE OR JUST RODE BACK AND WERE GLAD TO FIND IT STILL THERE????? I AM SURE MANY FOLLOWERS OF THE BLOG WERE SURPRISED ALSO.
THANKS FOR THE GOOD WISHES FOR ALASKA. L,UV, MOM
