December 13 Antigua
Started my day with a nice cup of coffee, then off to Spanish school for 4 hours. After class I just took it easy, read some Ride report threads, did some reading and then Called BMW, but the GM was at lunch. This is a great place to hang out. Last nights sunset over...
December 11 & 12th. Antigua, Guatemala
I spent Sunday in Antigua taking it easy. Letting my body heal, and relaxing. Was able to skype with my brothers and catch up on my Ride Report. Antigua is a cool Colonial City that is full of tourists from all over the world and lots of local color as well. You could...
December 9th & 10th Coban to Guatemala City, then on the Antigua
Got up early in the morning on Friday and replaced the front tube that got blown out, so that when the truck arrives this morning we could roll it up on the truck. Then packed up, had breakfast and waited for the driver. The internet was out in the hotel in the...

December 8th. When things do not go as planned……….
Well..... Sometimes things do not go as planned. As I road out of Semuc Champey and out on 12 Km of muddy, rocky, grave road. All was going well. But it had rained all night long and lots of water. As I road the twisty roads toward Coban, Guatemala, with the goal of...
December 7th Semuc Champey, Guatemala
Here is the owner, Wife and Daughter (Kelsie) of La Casa Don de David. really great people that have been running hotel here for many years. Would definitely recommend a stay with them if you are going to Tikal. Switched countries and Guatemala uses Gallons again....
December 6th Tikal Ruins in Guatemala
We had a great evening last night at the Driftwood Pizza Shack, as one of the owners broke out his guitar and sang Irish songs, before a Local guy arrived to sing Reggae. It was great! Left Hopkins, Belize this morning. Sam will be staying over to enjoy the beach, and...
Riding in Mexico
Thoughts about our ride through Mexico.As we have traveled the length of Mexico we have seen difference with the terrain, climate and the people. In the North or the “Frontier States” the concern for violence is more evident and the people a bit more reserved with us....
Belize
Short Post on Belize, Since I just rode down to Hopkins and then headed for the border of Guatemala the next day. It rained heavy the night..... so everything was wet. But I packed up in the Morning and Sam and I had breakfast. I tried the "fry Jack" which was tasty....
December 4th Leaving Mexico and riding into Belize
We stayed in Bacalar our last night in Mexico. Alan the owner is Canadian/mexican and has really been of great help. As I took a walk about town I saw my first other F800GS bikes. These two guys were from Mexico City and on a two week ride. Sam with Alan before we...
