Saltillo, Mexico

We are taking a day off from riding in Saltillo - staying at a nice Hacienda called Rancho el Morillo.  Yesterday was our first day in Mexico and it was a lot of fun.  The border crossing and bike permits went smoothly and we had a long, 280 mile day of riding on nice roads.  We drove through the beginning of the Sierra Madre Orientals and up to about 6000 feet at the highest.  The first hotel we went to was sold out of rooms, but after being lost for a while in Saltillo, we found Rancho el Morillo and are really glad we are staying here.  It's overpriced for sure - but a very tranquil place to rest our asses.  Gonna head into the historic centro today and do some exploring.  Here are some pictures from the nice roads from Piedras Negras to Saltillo - Mexico route 57.
