    Going for a swim in the very warm water at Playa de San Rafael.
    This spot is in the middle of fricking nowhere. Just watch out for the stingrays

    Because many of us don't have the time or money to do what you and so many other people do on these ride reports. That's why we live vicariously through the rest of you and read these things - just something to think about :hmmmmm It's also something that I hope to rectify sometime in the very near future if things ever work themselves out :ricky

    Thanks

    My 13,000 trip up to Alaska was just the test run for what I have planned later this month. I am planning to head down in to Central America. And if that goes well - South America. I am only focusing on one leg at a time so Europe and Africa would come next but I need to get thru the Americas first. I don't want to bite off more than I can chew. And like I said all along, as long as I have the means and desire, I am doing this!
    Right now, I am home getting things ready for my trip south. I have one more Baja trip next week. They really are not part of my RTW trip but I figured others might find the stories interesting and enjoy my pictures along the way.
    So stay tuned. I will be heading down in to Latin America soon. And for me, that is when the true adventure begins.....................and I can't wait!

    I know it is a bit out of order, but I down loaded these pics from my camera from my trip to Borrego 2 weeks ago. Plus I have been getting more requests for pictures of qhfan2 for some reason

    Here we are in San Felipe CA eatting a $7 burger that should be less than a $1.99
