By time we had made it through our hellish day of Honduras, it was pretty late at night. At the Nicaraguan border they told us there was a hotel just a few miles down the road, so we drove on with our one headlamp, and pulled into the first hotel that we found. When we [...]
Leaving El Imposible, we decided it had been too long since we relaxed on the beach and so headed to Playa El Tunco on the Pacific Coast. El Tunco is a laid back fishing and surfing community with beautiful black sand beaches, and according to the multitude of surfers hanging out there, some killer breaks. [...]
Leaving Belize, we headed into Guatemala crossing the border near San Ignacio. The border crossing was fairly straightforward: Check out of Belize and get the vehicle stamp in Luis’ passport canceled, then head into Guatemala to get the stamps and vehicle papers there. It was nice and easy and within a half hour we were on [...]
We’ve added a new page to our blog with location and information on all of the places we find to camp on our trip. We’ll update the list periodically throughout the trip as we find new spots. The link can be found on the right side of the updates page under “Pages”. One word of caution is [...]
From Zipolite we had to high tail it to San Cristobal de Las Casas to meet up with Jennifer and Vanessa. “Jenessa” as we called them are good friends from California who were coming for a three week visit. They flew into Cancun and took a crazy 18 hour bus ride to meet up with [...]

I guess our only [...]
Funny tidbit: Upon arriving to the campground in San Miguel de Allende we met Joachim and Bärbel our new neighbors -a German couple who are driving a really cool and large 4 wheel drive RV around the Americas- one of the first things they asked us was how long we intended to stay for. We [...]
Guadalajara is the next stop on our trail, and is our gateway to the colonial interior of Mexico. Let us start this post by showering you with a trivia tid bit for your next cocktail party: This city is named after the Spanish city of Guadalajara, the name of that city in turn originates from [...]
The town of Patzcuaro does not seem to show up on the radar of super touristy places. It is not one of those towns that when talking to people back home they would know where you are such as they would with Mazatlan or Puerto Vallarta. It does however, have quite the reputation with other [...]
This post is dedicated to Robin, Jodie, Laurel, and Rico, for your love of tequila… we thought of you the whole time! After Puerto Vallarta we said goodbye to the coast for a little while and headed inland, making a stop in Tequila. We took a really nice back road from Puerto Vallarta into Tequila [...]
