We were very inland and
looking for a turnoff to the beach, missed it and went down the wrong
dirt road. Turns out the road we were looking for, which happens to
lead to a famous surf spot, had been obscured by surfers trying to discourage
crowds. We rode on the roof back to the main road, and a group
of Mexicans passed yelling "Me amore!" to Mabel, the first
I'd heard a Mexican raise his voice above a near-whisper the whole trip.

It was getting dark, and
we'd been told countless times not to let the sun go down on us on a
Mexican road.

And Kayak John said this
especially applies to Sunday because of the church and tequila thing.
We didn't see anyone swerving around, but almost no one had headlights
on even in the dark twilight, which made for some interesting driving.
The theory is they do this for the miniscule savings in gas, and the
rumor is Ryk dented the steering wheel from gripping so hard.
