Ok... I rode from Los Angeles California to the southern tip of South America, and back. I started out with a friend from Alberta Canada - Larry is a rancher whom I met when I rode to Alaska a few years earlier and had stayed in touch with. He had recently bought a new bike and wanted to go for a ride. So we set our sights on Tierra Del Fuego. But, he had to turn back in Colombia. Then I rode with Brian from England, Patrick from Ireland, and Damon from New Zealand, from Columbia to Santiago Chile. After that, I was on my own.

This was an exciting trip for a number of reasons. It was over 30,000 miles thru Latin America and the Andes mountains, and I didn't speak much Spanish. There was also the small detail of the Darien Gap. And, then there was "Death Road" in Bolivia - supposedly the most dangerous road in the world.

Anyway, I blogged about the entire journey right here.

Costa Rica II

Traveling north thru Costa Rica, the weather was not going my way.  It rained for several days and a few times it came down so hard I had to seek shelter - once I pulled into a roadside restaurant and noticed that it was right across the road from a barn where I had sought shelter from a storm 10 months earlier on my way south.

 Deja Vu... I had stopped to get out of the rain during a downpour just across the street from a barn (background to left of pink building) where I had stopped to get out of the rain 10 months earlier.







 Saw this poor little guy seeking shelter from the storm too.
