Adios Sun Cristobal - Part II San Cristobal is a very popular tourist destination and its population swells during Holy week (the week leading up to Easter). Navigating the pedestrian walkways becomes kind of like playing the game Frogger. But take your eyes off the path for one second and you...

Tigger gets fixed up and goes for a ride Wait! I almost forgot to mention that we went out for a walk the other day and ran into our friend Jorge from the Rossco hostel who was out for a stroll with his wife and their baby. After some chit chat, Jorge said his bike club is going out for a group...

Adios Sun Cristobal - Part I Drunk on one spectacular sunset after another our month rolled by faster than we wanted so we decided to stay another. We were really enjoying ourselves here and well, South America has been there for a while and will most likely still be there when we get there...

Life in SUN Cristobal This adventure of ours has gone from having a plan to go here and there in order to see as much as we can, to going somewhere on the spur of the moment. Either because someone suggested something or because we simply felt like it was the right thing to do according to our...

We've become foster parents!! We've become foster parents!! We have temporarily adopted a young boy named Billy and his dog Bess from our friends Kim and Seb of Wandering Souls. Billy and Bess are the brainchild and braindog of two great people Beau and Trish from Australia. Billy and Bess are...

At this rate we may never leave San Cristobal Lately we’ve been changing direction quite a bit. I have to say that I absolutely love the freedom to be able to do that. No timelines or schedules to keep, it’s almost intoxicating. We definitely started out very driven to get to some of the places...

What's a few more days in San Cristobal de las Casas? After our Sumidero Canyon excursion we decided to stay another day or two in San Cristobal. We really liked what we had seen of the town so far and wanted to do some more exploring. As much as we really liked the Rosco hostel and the...

Re: Sumierdo Canyon Appreciate the offer MacDoc. We took some compressed air to it and it seems to have helped, we'll see how long that lasts.

Re: Sumierdo Canyon Say hello to my leetle friend, the Amercian Crocodile. These cuddly little guys can get up to 2000 lbs and 20 feet in length, not to mention they can swim up to 20 mph. Their habitat extends as far north as southern Florida. So this dude thinks it’s a good idea to...

Sumierdo Canyon Although we had planned on hitting the road within a few days, our friends Seb and Kim talked us into checking out Sumidero Canyon before we left. When I discovered that the Rosco hostel had a tour bus departing right from the hostel, well that sealed the deal and we decided to...

If you love topes, boy do I have a road for you This guy was right next to the hotel entrance in Palenque. Cool looking entrance. Hotels and restaurants lining this beautiful stone road in the zona touristica. On our (rain delay) day off here, we took a stroll away from the hotel zone...

Re: Palenque Ruins As we hiked deeper into the bowels of the ruins we began hearing the ominous screech of the howler monkey, it’s quite a unique sound and one that doesn’t seem to match their size. Kind of like hearing a Stebel horn on a little kids tricycle. Something else we didn't see in...

Palenque Ruins With bellies still full from the previous two days, we packed up and left Cancun heading south towards Chetumal, which is essentially right on the border with Belize. While making a stop at the Scotiabank in Playa Del Carmen (yes there are Scotiabank branches all over Mexico...

Cyclone? But I thought Gene and Neda were in Morocco?

Really sad to have to watch your friend die. Safe riding down there MacDoc

Re: Guatemala or...? Thanks. Man that place just seems like a lifetime ago for some reason. That was a beautiful area, in fact I loved the entire Pacific coast - easily some of the most scenic riding I've ever done.

Guatemala or...? Our visit to Uxmal very much reinvigorated our spirits and recharged our Allspark. But where to next? That’s THE question we keep asking each other lately. How about south into Guatemala…via Merida (yes I know Merida is north of us O_o, and yes, we did just spend 10 days...

Re: Uxmal Video Aperture. Word is Apple will no longer be updating Aperture and instead just focusing on their new Photos app. If that's the case I might regret going with Aperture.

Uxmal Video Our photo editing software seems to be acting up. GRRRRR! It has for some strange reason spontaneously deleted all the edits to all photos since we left Merida and we're trying to get back up to speed. Yes we have backups of the photos but it seems to be a little more complicated...

Re: Uxmal Ruins Thanks MD
