Tehuacan

We made it to Tehuacan! Not everyone did. Some because of mechanical failure but there were also off-road excursions into arroyos and rock walls. Some cars were not seriously damaged and are back in the race. Others retired. But no one was hurt that I know of. We took the long way round to get here, looping first nearly back to Oaxaca before heading North. We went through some beautiful country, but didn't have much time to admire it.

The people of Tehuacan welcomed us with enthusiasm and a festival in the square. If I weren't so tired it would have been more fun.

We began with the ceremonial start at the town square (zocolo) in Oaxaca.
