New Blog

Dad! You can use the new blog exactly as the old blog, if you want! Travel safe! Dajon

I go real slow past these they are are real fast turn & jump
After 3 PM there are hundreds of these being driven home to get locked up for the night during the day they feed on free grass along the road

every town has a bunch of these taxis driver in front Two people in rear

This is a typical street sceen I'm behind a truck going thru town

Same town Same truck
People will stop to buy something they see some don't pull over they just stop

There are hundreds of people drying corn along the road they bag it up before dark or rain

The first thing I noticed after crossing into El Salvador was how many people are walking along the road, not just in town but between towns
there are small villages abot every 10 K (6 miles )

Leaving a town guy on right just picked up corn

The services are free and you don't need a personal helper.
Lots of kids want to help us get thru the border for pay very annoying

Fred checking out of Guatamala

The hiways are paved & the gas stations are paved But the drivways can be tough

Mine is the one on the left

Thats our room behind the laundry truck. great place to park behind restraunt

Saw this along side the road in Guatamala

Fumigation at the boarder

This is the next picture

The hotel in Pijijiapan MX we stayed at last night (Sat) It was on the main street and was busy with people going to the market until it rained. see next piture

This is a major road. notice how there is no shoulder to pull over onto. Then keep in mind that in Mexico they don't do maintence they just wait till it breaks and fix it on the road.

This sign reads left lane for passing only, something no one in the USA seems to know

Joe rode to my place on Oct 15th and then Joe, Fred and I rode down to Tucson on the 16th. This is a picture of Joe as we were heading toward Tucson, South of Phoenix.

The picture above that is of Joe talking to kids in Dajons class. We all parked our bikes right outside of the classroom and Dajon had them guess which of the 3 bikes wasn't going to South America. They all picked mine since it didn't have a spare tire strapped to the back.

The picture above that is of Dajon and the kids gathered around Joes bike and the one above that is of Joe and Fred inside the classroom answering questions. All of the kids were very interested in the trip and they asked non stop questions for almost an hour.

I left Saturday Morning and headed back to Vegas and Dajon, Joe & Fred headed toward the border
