May 8 – 10, 2017 Our two week land trip via bus (8.5 hours NE of PV) has begun with the industrial town of Leon. Leon has a strong leather industry offering shoes (approx. 70% of all Mexican shoes are made here), boots, belts, jackets and other leather accessories to both national and international markets. We were able to buy two large pieces of leather to use on the boat for chafing gear – yay! The photo is the view from our hotel room – just beautiful!
