Leg 2: We Tap Tap Tap Using Our Feet Feet Feet

[Dånooky]

This is Dolores Hidalgo, the cradle of the Mexican Independence. It was in this town in September 1810 that Miguel Hidalgo gave out the Grito de Dolores and began one of Mexico's fiercest wars. And in its graveyard..the tomb of José Alfredo Jiménez. This colorful sculpture commemorating one of the greatest Mexican musical icons was the Pit Stop for the first leg of the race.

Teams arrived here for a mandatory rest period of twelve hours. Will the top of the pack continue in the lead? And will Ash & Misty recover from being more than 5 hours behind the leading teams?

Jasmine & Susan, who were the first to arrive at 3:13 p.m., will depart at 3:13 a.m.

Teams depart the Pit Stop in the following order:

*In the PitStart*
Sarah: *Ripping the clue* Travel by van to Celaya and then drive yourselves to Angangueo.
Shaleen: No dollars this leg?
Sarah: Well, let's hope we have enough.

*Confessionals*
Sarah: It is not the first time we race this kind of Races, and the Idea of coming to South America, which we hadn't visited last time, is so great!

Shaleen: So, let's wait for the third team to be in the van with us.
Sarah: Hey, guys!

*Confessionals*
Shaleen: When we departed PitStop, we saw there Farrah & Chester, and we kinda felt we needed to join them, and try to get well for the rest of the race, as we were in the back of the pack and we knew that there was a team behind us. That gave us wings.

*At exactly 4:41 am Sia rips their clue*

Sia: Travel by van to Celaya, then drive yourselves to Angangueo.
Jennifer: I'm glad you can pronounce these city names. *laughs*

*Confessional*
Sia: Jen and I didn't get eliminated last leg, which is a godsend given how weird of a team we are. I have no idea how well things will continue to go for us in this race.

Sia: Here's the vans.
Jennifer: Oooo how cozy and intimate! We'll get to know the other two teams squeezed in with us. Fun!
Sia: I'm just glad we're still ahead of four teams. It'll probably get really ugly for those in the back of the pack.
Jennifer: Awww, you mean we're going to miss the drama? No fun.

I sent something, but I just think I was re-directed to some other site...

Score: (+5 minutes +rank)
Bonus (per team member):

Attention, to the money on the first clue, add the 1000 MXN bill you received on the last leg. If you don't add it yourselves, it will be lost.[/size]
