today’s ride was one of the most pleasant so far due to its ease, the beautiful scenery, and the quickness with which we got to our destination – over 75KM before lunchtime. we awoke in the house of the lord, ate the food that the padre (named Elvis) had prepared, and were on the road [...]

Nick writes about his bike trip (San Diego -> Ecuador is the plan for this leg) and has a Facebook page that is at http://www.facebook.com/PedalingNPaddlingSouth I’ve decided to share his writings for the parts where we rode together. http://domluther.smugmug.com/OneBikeOneWorld/Caribbean/Cuba/ is where all my pictures from Cuba are.

There are two sensible routes from Tikal to Palenque, even though Google Maps doesn’t know about either of them. One of them is through the new border crossing at El Ceibo. It’s about 180 km from Flores to the border at El Ceibo, and then it puts you in the state of Tabasco, about 80 [...]

Guanajuato -> San Miguel de Allende

Not being English, Pedro had no desire to get up at 6am to head to San Miguel to watch England’s inevitable glorious defeat on penalties. You may think that I can only write that because I’m writing this after the game happened, but that’s just because you’re not English. It’s what we have done in [...]

We got up with plans to leave early, but then spent the morning hanging out with Hector and family. Although we were excited to get to Guanajuato (GTO), it was also really easy to spend the morning with them. When we eventually left, Hector’s gardener gave us a lift out of town to make up [...]

After a rest day hanging out with Cain and his friends, we were back on the road. I only had 8 days to get to Mexico City before my test at UNAM so while there were more things to do, such as going to the hot-springs, there wasn’t enough time. It was generally overcast, and [...]

With our rush to get to DF, we only had one day to spend in the beautiful Zacatecas. I wished we had had more time, and I wouldn’t be too surprised if I somehow ended up back there after leaving DF. We even managed to go close to the church of the Virgen de Guadalupe, [...]

After packing up our things in the room, we were invited for a cup of coffee. Pedro is one of those people who will happily drink 5+ coffees a day, so he was happy with the invite. We thanked Alberto and his crew and headed up the hill towards our 5th state, Zacatecas. It was [...]

Frida and Jorge Luis had been wonderful hosts. Jorge Luis is a vet and so we got to visit a hacienda that belongs to one of his clients. It also means he is very busy, but he did his best to make time to spend with us. Frida’s work load is a little lighter, and [...]

We had a great time staying in Mazatlán with our wonderful host Norman. We’d got to meet some of his friends as well as relax on the beach by the Pacific for the last time in a good while. Our plan is to head inland to the colonial cities of Durango, Zacatecas, Aguascalientes and Guanajuato [...]
