Mexico Adventure: Barra de Navidad Day 5 – Onto the Quads (Part 5/15)

Dec 27, 2019

Time for a little adventure!  For Christmas, Terry had signed us all up for an ATV tour with The Only Tours Melaque.  We started on the beach in San Patricio, then cruised the beach into Barra de Navidad.  Rode though the backstreets of El Aguacate, and then into a riverbed.

Checked out a coconut factory in Cihuatlan.  These workers are CRAZY!  Definitely not like our cushy-ass union jobs in North America………

And then back to Barra.  Holy hell were we ever covered in dust by the time we got home.  Definitely made use of the outdoor shower…!

Then off to the GYM!  We actually trained every day except Christmas, but today was the first time I brought my camera.  I set a goal for myself back in September that by the end of 2019, I wanted to be using 100 pound dumbbells on the bench press.  And figuring that this would probably be my last chest workout of 2019, it was now or never.  And guess what – SUCCESS!!  (This would actually mark the first of several PR’s that we would hit this trip.  Must be something in the tacos)

The gym itself is in San Patricio, called Iron King.  The gym itself is on the smaller side, but the equipment is awesome, the clientele are friendly, and the owners (Dave and Javier) are great.  The only real downfall is there’s no air conditioning.  But if you like to sweat while you train (believe me, I do) then this is NOT a bad thing!
