Veracruz day off - A day at the bar

April 5th, 2005 · No Comments

Well we had hoped our tires would be here at the Veracruz KTM shop but alas, they had not arrived…  Tomorrow they promised.  So we were just hanging out checking out the bikes and they have a few off road KTMs and a Ducati and some high performance scooters.  When a really nice guy came […]

Unpronouncable to Vera Cruz - Great day of riding

April 3rd, 2005 · No Comments

First thing this morning we ran into two guys on KTM dirt bikes.  They had been at their practice track and were on their way home, along the main blvd!  We flagged them down and shared some stories and they recommend a route for us today.  What a treat.  Again local knowledge.
First we climbed up […]

Last night in this particular paradise, still in search for more, who said there was only one paradise?
All is well here!  No big news, other that we figured out how to down load photos, so check them out!
We are leaving Tulum tomorrow and heading to Cancun, then to the end of that road, the end […]

Sea the ruins, we got to see the ruins of Tulum from the sea, the very best view.

Paradise for sure, last night while I wrote to you the wind quit blowing and it got very still out. We were up at the crack of 9am for coffee, naranja (orange juice, we CAN NOT pronounce the word, every time we get a blank stare and have to mime squeezing something into a glass) Papaya with plain […]

Balize was a bust, but we will keep trying

March 27th, 2005 · No Comments

Hello.
We had such high expectaions for our trip to Balize.  Boy what a dissapointment.  It turns out we showed up on Easter weekend.  Being a heavily Cathloc country, every thing was closed in honor of the lord.  Every one went to the beach!  We could not find a room, any where.
That´s not totally accurate, we […]

To leave Tulum, ahhh manyana

March 25th, 2005 · No Comments

We tried, we really tried.  First we slept late, the wind in the palm trees and the roar of the ocean is just soooo good to sleep to.  Then we had our papaya with yogurt and almonds, with coffee and orange juice for breakfast.  A swim in the ocean and a shower, we were set […]

Ruins to ruins - A Mad Max kind of ride

March 25th, 2005 · No Comments

We left Palenque this morning, we went to the Cascadia (water fall) It was a lovely sight, water fell about 125 feet into a dark green pool, it was a cool and refreshing place for a swim, only problem? About 500 other people had the same idea! We did manage a quick dip and it […]

A Palenque Night - Oh yea, jungle fever

March 25th, 2005 · No Comments

I´m lying here in my own sweat, or blood, or urine, or
bile. Well I can only assume it´s my fluids sticking
me to the sheets. I was awoken by screams of pain
from down the hall. It is hot. Lizzards crawl over
the walls. I decide like Hunter, it´s time for a
sleeping pellet. […]

LaPaz and points North - From West to East

March 25th, 2005 · No Comments

Baja is such a surprise. Yesterday we crossed from the West Coast to Loreto on the East coast. The road at first is just what I expected of Baja, flat desert in every direction. Maybe 200 miles with out a turn, just vast openness as far as the eye.
Then on the hazy […]
