After years of planning and waiting on Rita I enter Mexico in the morning. My first stop is Belice I will post evey time I get a chance. A special thanks to Grant and the Horizons site
Hello fellow riders and friends at home. This has been my first chance to update my blog since leaving. I entered Mexico the morning of the 27th of September. Cost me $29 USC for a 7 day pass for the bike and myself. I had to place a sticker on my windshield for the bike. My plan was to run Mexico 180 all the way south, then take Mexico 186 into Belize.
Took the bike in first thing in the morning, it will be ready at 7PM on the 26th, talking to the guys at the dealership I find out there is a Southern Regional Hog Rally starting on the 27th and going until Sunday the 30th. Guess what Im doing? Signed up for it the cost was 200 bucks I thought that was sort of high but it did include all meals and hotel rooms for 3 nights. Im going to spend 2 days looking around Santiago, but it is going to be hard, I wont have any wheels, so its either walk or taxi.
I know, I know its been a month since I last wrote but just how many times can you write sun, beach, fun, sun, beach, fun??? Ill try filling you in on some of the sights. First I must say I was glad to get out of San Paulo, for some reason I just didnt enjoy this city, maybe it was because they must not sleep for more then 4 hours at a time, because out of 20 hotels that I stopped at 18 of them only rented rooms for 4 hours at a time, go figure, the other two were 5 stars and they were full. I got lucky on the 21st try and found a place to stay.

Went to the floating market today, hundreds of woman in 15 foot canoes trying to sell all kinds of fresh vegetables, and just about anything else you would want or think of. Theyre like pigeons in the park when you throw bread on the ground; as soon as you showed interest in buying something they all would paddle over to you and fight over you like youre a bread crumb.
