Getting closer to our destination...

After leaving Cd. Victoria around noon, we drove into Tampico in the late afternoon. It was our shortest drive yet but we were both exhausted and happy to be greeted by the city.

We looked for a place to stay and after finding the ridiculously high prices offered by The Hampton Inn, we found a pleasant hotel down the street with a salmon pink decor and a more authentic local feel. They offered internet via ethernet LAN in the room and the first thing I did was setup a wireless network with our
Airport Express- can take the girl out of Apple but can't take Apple out of the girl ;)

I vid chatted with my sis which was great. Jack and I then reviewed our travels for tomorrow using Yahoo! Driving Directions- Google Maps does not trace routes in Mexico :( 

We ate so well today that I must share :)
Breakfast: fresh squeezed, super-sweet o.j.
Lunch: papaya & mango chunks- great combo
Afternoon snack: orange/papaya juice- sooo good!
Dinner: large veggie salad prepared by the hotel restaurant chef specially for us - muchas gracias!
