Mexico today, Guatemala tomorrow.

December 29, 2013 Written by Adam

Adam writes on 2013.12.28: We are sitting in the lounge of our hotel in Tapachula, Chiapas, Mexico closing up on our visit through Mexico and preparing to move on to Guatemala.  This includes updating the GPS units with updated maps based on the Open Street Map (OSM) project.  Jenn’s older GPS only accepts one auxiliary […]

Exit Puerto Escondido, onwards to Chi...

December 29, 2013 Written by Adam

Adam writes on 2013-12-26: So here we are outside of Salina Cruz, Oaxaca (roughly pronounced Oh-a-ha-ca) in another love motel.  This one is almost charming and seems quite small.  Larger and more expensive ones in the area have a lot more flash with sort of an art deco theme, fancy walls, and illusive names.  Ours […]

Merry Christmas Eve from Puerto Escon...

December 24, 2013 Written by Jenn

Jenn writes on 2013-12-24: Merry Christmas Eve from Puerto Escondido, MX! Although it is not what we are used to for celebrating the holidays (no snow, family, or massive amounts of Christmas goodies), Christmas on the beach seems to be a pretty good place to spend the holiday. I can’t say that I am missing […]

Ferrying from La Paz to the mainland,...

December 17, 2013 Written by Adam

Adam writes on 2013-12-17: I am writing from La Manzanilla, Jalisco.  Internet access has been sketchy for the last couple of days.  We are camping under a palapa on the sand amongst coconut palms. While rustic, the campsite is quite nice with cool showers, and add your own water toilets.  That said, we are right […]

Baja California

December 5, 2013 Written by Adam

Adam writes on 2013-12-05: We are presently in Ensenada, Baja California.  And in the middle of a cold spell.  Sounds like deja vu, doesn’t it?  The last days at John’s in Vail, it started to cool off, especially in the evening, and after arriving in El Centro, California last night, by dusk we found ourselves […]

Vail, Arizona

December 3, 2013 Written by Adam

Adam writes on 2013-12-03: We are currently enjoying the warm, sunny weather in Vail, Arizona. We arrived here three days ago, having stayed one night in Fort Stockton, Texas and two nights in Los Cruces, New Mexico. Fort Stockton was simply a stop for us, and being a sort of transit location, hoteliers are able […]
