Our story continues with a family reunion in Cusco, Peru. In this episode my beloved mother will take over the writing duties, explaining the process to set us up for a successful siege of Machu Picchu.
Wanted
We begin our time in Ecuador by being adopted by a new family. I’m pretty sure it’s official, as they even took me to get my rabies shots.
Sanctuary
We visit the stunning sanctuary at Las Lajas and we become stunned by the masses seeking sanctuary from Venezuela. We also set a new border record….not the good kind.
Pop and Pity
The tire was shot. I was going nowhere and this was not a safe neighborhood. Thankfully, a pitiful appearance is one of my most useful attributes.
Coffee Country
Our pursuit for the perfect cup of joe continues in central Colombia. We visit the quaint community of Salento and make our way to Cali.
Like a Rock
…but hopefully with at least slightly more personality. 🙂 In this post, we finish up in Medellin, visit the spectacular El Peñol de Guatape, find a riding partner and just miss seeing a peacock explosion.
The Motherland
In this post, I get to visit the land of my ancestors (…..apparently). We cross a threshold, almost propose marriage, nearly bid on some cattle and have our sunglasses passed around. Medellin, here we come!
The Shape of Things to Come
I’ve had to make some more tough decisions recently. This post will summarize the next steps in South America.
Nice To See Ya, Barranquilla
In this episode we tell some of the positive aspects of our shipping experience, visit our first South American song place (Barranquilla) and acknowledge my Grandma’s perpetual awesomeness.
Darien Gap: Options and Execution
In this document I attempt to explain the full process that I went through in getting my motorcycle from Panama to Colombia. Buckle up, it’s going to be a wild ride.
