I'm going to go back a few days and catch up since I have time before the game starts.

On tue I crossed into Nicuragua I think this must be spainish for BAD ROADS. Really bad and trash everywhere. If anyone that throws trash from their car could see this they would stop.
After it piles up so high someone throws in a match and they start over.
Dajon there are also lots of carbques all over C. A. once a car sits along the road for a while someone sets it on fire.
Besides the roads being bad they arn't marked so anywaye I got lost went 132 miles out of my way then got lost again trying to get out of Managua, Nicuragua. try saying that three times fast.
I finally found a room in Masaya parked the bike in the cafe part for the night.

I drove 419 miles by GPS to cover about 260 miles south. ended up driving at night(not Good)

Wed 2-1-6

Drove to the boarder of Costa Rica and met three guys going south to see some volcano. Two had GS and one had a KLR nice guys fromm colorado and texas, Joe M the guy from texas did the 3 flags in 2002 he knew you. The one guy spoke Spanish so I went through with them, a lot easier, however it still took just as long as always about 2 hours.

I stopped in San Jose at a you guessed it Mc Donalds had a chicken salad and adjusted my chain

You may notice I am eating in the parking lot. I adjusted the chain while I was there.

By the time I was done it wat 3:30 so I decided to drive to San Isidio any about 70 miles away.

I didn't realize there was the highest mountain in central america between the two towns. 11500ft. Traffic was heavy and slow and it started to rain and got real foggy I couldn't see maor than 15 feet in front of me. One of those crazy buses passed me on the right. I thought I was on the right side and I was on the left. I got behind the bus and followed it to a hotel. I was glad to get off the road alive.
