Back in California

The SV650 feels [...]

Pretty Pictures
Lima, Peru… it’s far, far away!
The road to Nasca and the Nasca lines… we we’re in a very small plane just a week after the crash… didn’t bother us after surviving 100’s of attempts on our lives by drivers in 9 nations

This is the end… the only end my friend…
We’ve reached Cusco after some of the absolute best riding on this trip! The road from Nasca to Cusco is absolutely fantastic and I will post more photos later.
We’re doing all right and after riding almost 9000 miles we’re ready for 9000 more down to Ushuaia and back…

We saw the pacific again… can’t remember when we saw it last. Bright sun too [...]

How I wish you were here
I wish you all could see what we’ve seen, felt the cold, the heat, the rain, the sun, experienced the smells of coffee plants, sugar cane and many others I can’t identify. The world is a beautiful place but it can’t really be captured by my photos.
Riding through Ecuador today from Riobamba to Machala we [...]

Twitchy feet and faded smiles
On our way to the Monserrate which is supposed to have great views of Bogota… I guess I’ll have to come back to check it out because we got clouds and rain and no views. It was great weather less than 20 minutes before we went up
Bolivar square in Bogota… tons of pigeons because people [...]

Photos from Medellin
View of Medellin from the Publito Paisas, a small replica village atop a hill in Medellin
The stairs up to the top of Publito Paisas… some 260 of them and at 1500 meters I was huffing and puffing my way to the top
Chilling in Botero Park in Medellin, there are lots of fat sculptures [...]
