		<title>We are home</title>
		<description><![CDATA[During our second day in Guatemala City on Oct. 16, I packed up my things, took my bike apart, and prepared to fly home to Cleveland. Ray continued riding until Costa Rica, and is also home as of Nov. 3.
I started considering coming home during the difficult days of riding in the Chiapas Highlands. I [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=miles4melanoma.com&blog=12136351&post=299&subd=milesformelanoma&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Day 53: Chimaltenango, GT to Guatemala City, GT</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With a short mileage day to get to Guatemala City, we took our time this morning, walking back into the main part of town for breakfast. We found and enjoyed a typical local place, with eggs, beans, good tortillas, and good coffee.
The road was somewhat hilly, but not too strenuous, but there was a lot [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=miles4melanoma.com&blog=12136351&post=296&subd=milesformelanoma&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Day 52: 4 Caminos, GT to Chimaltenango, GT</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Among the noise and smog of 4 Caminos, the breakfast options weren&#8217;t looking too good at first, but after looking at and ruling out a couple of places, we poked our heads inside another, and once inside, it was actually a pretty nice and cozy place. The coffee and eggs were good and fresh, and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=miles4melanoma.com&blog=12136351&post=293&subd=milesformelanoma&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Day 51: Chimusinique, GT to 4 Caminos, GT</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After breakfast at the Hotel Pino Montana, there were many ups and down in store for us in the road today. First there was a 10km ride uphill, then 10km downhill. Then 45km uphill, 15km downhill. We made a couple of stops along the way, for snacks, water, lunch, and to ask how much longer [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=miles4melanoma.com&blog=12136351&post=291&subd=milesformelanoma&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Day 50: Cuautémoc, MX to Chimusinique, GT</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As we suspected, our laundry was still pretty wet in the morning. Both of my bike shorts were in the laundry, so I resigned myself to pulling on a damp pair of shorts, as Ray and I arranged the rest of our damp clothes on our bike racks, hopefully to dry in the breeze and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=miles4melanoma.com&blog=12136351&post=289&subd=milesformelanoma&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Day 49: Comitán de Domínguez, MX to Cuautémoc, MX</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We ate our Frosted Flakes in the hostel room and got rolling. As we headed through the city, we noticed an Italian Coffee Company shop, so we decided to stop in for a good cup &#8216;o joe.
The road outside the city involved some mild climbing, but it was good riding. Finally, we enjoyed the final [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=miles4melanoma.com&blog=12136351&post=277&subd=milesformelanoma&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Day 48: San Cristobol de las Casas, MX to Comitán de Domínguez, MX</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We ate our Frosted Flakes for breakfast in the hostel&#8217;s kitchen, then got on our way after finding a ATM to get some cash at a plaza on the edge of town. The Pan-American Highway was a bit hilly here, but nowhere near as tough as the Chiapas Highlands of the previous two days. The [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=miles4melanoma.com&blog=12136351&post=269&subd=milesformelanoma&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Day 47: Ocosingo, MX to San Cristobol de las Casas, MX</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We got an early start after eating breakfast at the hotel. We planned to buy our usual daily supply of water on the way out of town, but it was too early, and none of the stores were open yet. We had a little left over from the previous day, so we continued on our [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=miles4melanoma.com&blog=12136351&post=267&subd=milesformelanoma&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
