(^144) Kino – Miguel Aleman - 55km
Ernest wanted to stay an additional day, but I had itchy feet. We
folded the table and chairs; fortunately, Ernest didn’t want to take
them with us.
By the time our iron horses were loaded, it was 11h00, and a tailwind
made it easy cycling to Miguel Aleman. There was no reason to
overnight in this tiny town, but we did. Ernest went shopping and
then busied himself with concocting a stew – as there wasn’t much
else one could do in dusty Miguel Aleman.
Miguel Aleman – Hermosillo - 65km
The previous day’s tailwind had turned into a headwind and cycling
towards Hermosillo was into icy gusts. Nearing town, Ernest’s front
brake broke, which he fixed hoping his measures would last until he
found a place to fix it. The Washington Hotel with decent ground-floor
rooms and Wi-Fi became home for the next two nights.
I usually kept a keen eye out for anyone willing to do laundry. I wish I
could add “at a small fee”, but the fee was generally pretty hefty. In
any event, I didn’t find anyone at the Washington Hotel, so I
schlepped my laundry to the outside trough and gave everything a
good rinse. I say rinse, as one could hardly call what I did “washing”.
The following day, we discovered a shop where Ernest bought a new
front brake and spent the day fitting it.
