Saturday George picked me up, we met up with Eduardo, and headed out of San Pedro. On the way out of town we caught up with 3 Guatemalan riders who, curiously enough, had heard about me & my trip through the flurry of emails throughout Central America. We all rode together to Copan Ruinas, which [...]
I updated my original post, as George corrected me. The bales that get spat out from the metal machine (wasn’t that cool???) are 300 lbs. The copper bales weigh 4000 lbs [edited: ]and are worth $12,000. My mistake. But while riding today I remembered another thing George told me: ever wonder why so many storm [...]
Anyone that has visited Central America knows that trash is a REAL problem…indigenous peoples have not been taught the difference between throwing a banana peel in the forest from throwing a coke bottle…many countries lack the find / resources / facilities for organized trash collection…many people are starving or just barely surviving…why should they care [...]

Thursday January 7, 2010 I spent the night in the COLD! mountain town of La Palma…just shy of the El Salvador / Honduran Border. The plan was to spend the night close to the border, cross over super early, and go see the Copan ruins on the way to San Pedro Sula. The nice fellow [...]
January 5, 2010 I got really lucky and Mario had some time to go riding with me…I absolutely love dropping the luggage off the bike and going offroad. Mario said we’d ride into the mountains, an visit a former guerilla stronghold, where now the people were practicing eco-tourism and teaching people to farm. Sounded cool [...]

December 31, 2009 I had been in touch with another motorcyclist, Carlos, from el Salvador, and he had given me a lot of travel / route advice via email. He also invited me to spend the New Year holiday with his family, as it is a bad time to be on the road. I left [...]
I spent 4 days in Antigua and met some wonderful people, including Maggie, who is on a similar spiritual path as I. We went for a long hike together one day (1ok!), and then she got me invited to a private Mayan ceremony that was just incredible. They were celebrating the New Year as well [...]
January 18, 2010 I’m in Liberia, Costa Rica right now. Sorry to confuse people with my chronology; Today I did a television interview at the Santa Monica mammography center. It should be aired tomorrow (1/19/09) on the Noontime news… Dr. Monica is truly a saint. She is the first woman to graduate from the medical [...]
December 18, 2009 I am a lucky woman. How many women do not recognize they are in love, before they throw away their affair? This was the day before I was to leave Mexico, and I had come to realize I was in love with Tope. I still had a day to cherish, worship, and [...]
