... salt flats tour, Colombia, and Nicaragua. Bron: Ooh, yeah, and Nicaragua was awesome... Q: Any big surprises? E: I was amazed how nice the buses were in Argentina. And how few mosquitos there are in the Andes. And that there are glaciers on the equator! Wha' happened?! B: Wine in Argentina is $3 a bottle for a quality red!! Surprise! But seriously, I did not expect to meet as many people or make as many ...

... face off the loser to prove to both tribes that the conflict had been settled according to tradition. Of course you can imagine what the Spanish Catholic Missionaries who arrived in the 1500's had to say about this peculiar dispute mechanism practiced by their prospective converts. The Missionaries were eventually successful in convincing the tribes that it would be better if the tribal leaders would fight only until one was beat senseless and the winner would then don a mask ...

Nothing really special in Los Mochis on the Sea of Cortes. This is where we were catching the train to Copper Canyon. We drove around a little bit but nothing too exciting. The traditional city grid setup and a short drive outside of town is the car ferry terminal. This is where you can catch a car ferry to La Paz, Baja Califorinia. We were up at 4:30am to catch the 6:00am train to Copper Canyon. Yes, when the train ...

... Altas (High Waves) where the first hotels sprung up when tourism came to this area in the 50´s and 60´s. Was planning to walk down to the lighthouse which you can climb up to in order to get good views of the bay but it looked rather a long way and I really didnt feel at all up to it. Had another few hours sleep and then forced myself up again to catch a bus to see "New Mazatlan" , the development by the other beaches up the coast which have emerged in more ...

... I was a happy man. No aircon, bedding or towels but nice and clean (i may regret the lack of aircon tomorrow). Did I mention it is seriously hot here. Really humid heat. You just have to tie your shoe laces and your sweating like a pig. After a 10 minute walk all my clothes would be drenched. Had a casual dinner of Tacos on the promenade, watched the sea and stars for a bit and then had a few beers. Walked around abit more to orientate myself then tomorrow I ...

... do have my Biofreeze with me, and when I get back, it will be slathered on immediately. We pass the La Paz ferry, which is larger than I expected. Ferry funs from La Paz and Topolobampo Bay. Takes 8 hours. La Paz- Topo 3pm -11pm and back same times. One way tours $105 per person. One way with a cabin $165 per person. Once back at the dock, we head for the dressing rooms. There are showers, but due to time, we give those a skip. Back on the bus and headed north, the ...

Last year I traveled to Mazatlan to see a friend who lives there (Dennis). It was fabulous. We mostly stayed at his little house in El Centro, but got a nice hotel room for two nice and acted touristy. I liked that part too. I ate too much -- but it was incredible food. Lots of beer too. And one night of great ...

... of all the boats that anchor in San Blas. He and his wife are originally from New York but have lived in San Blas for 40 years. They like to help out the cruisers and invite everyone to their home in town. We went along to meet them the next day and found them to both be real characters and extremely helpful. We had to wait out some bad weather in San Blas..It was hot there and we could not swim in the estuary, the water was pretty foul. Luckily for ...
