Update in real-time

Since Andy is working on his “War and Peace” we’re a little behind on the blogging. I’ll try to give a little update as to where we are in the world without giving away the plot.
We’re currently outside Mexico City at the Teotihuacán pyramids.
We’re going to check them out tomorrow before we head south-west to Acapulco where we think we’ll hang out for a day and then head south along the pacific coast to Guatemala.
It has been a great ride so far but we’ve spent a lot of time on the road so we’re tired. We spent a day and a half in Guadalajara which we needed to recharge, we even had time to play some caps.
The ride through Baja California was very beautiful and the roads there are perfect for a motorcycle trip, I’ve never ridden so many miles of twisties in one go… simply awesome!
The ride from Mazatlán to Guadalajara was beautiful as well but it was m,ostly boring because we stayed on the toll-roads which are, in a word, straight. There were some sweepers coming off some mountains.
Today we rode from Guadalajara to Mexico City half on toll-roads and the rest on back-roads. The back-roads were awesome with tons of switchbacks with huge potholes, very exciting! After almost 11 hours in the saddle we’re beat and going to get some dinner.
Early tomorrow morning we’re checking out the pyramids and then we head for the coast for some margaritas and shrimp!

Hello Roar -
thanks for the update. I was wondering what could have happened between day 3 and today. Good to hear from you. Hi to Andy from his mother. Have fun at the pyramids!

Hi Roar,
so nice to be able to sort of “follow” you on your trip. You have to go to the top of the pyramid, I have been there! Say hello to Andy from me, looking forward to hear from you again.

Hey Roar and Andy,
So far so WOW! Sounds like this may be a best seller so far. I just wanted to let you know that I will be an avid reader and pulling for you’s!! Remember if you reach Lima, I can hook you up with some locals (one of my best friends is from there). Be safe and post a couple extra pics even though the commentary is great! late -Ryan

Hi Roar, I am glad you made it to peorto. It sounds like things are going well. If you stay another night there find the crows nest at the arco room 504. And get an order of nachos from the restaurant at the point. I will try and find the info for cusco and augua caliente for you before you get there. Be safe and I will look for your updates. Also try and get a pic or two of some waves.
