As
we welcome you to this latest segment of our little saga, I find
myself once again in the uncomfortable position of playing "catch-up".
The simple truth is that after nearly seven weeks on the road I have to
admit to having taken procrastination to an entirely new level. The
fact is that we will be leaving Mexico, the first country on our
itinerary, in just a few days, and heading into Belize and then on to
Guatemala. We seem, however, to remain somewhat unfocused as to our
ultimate destination. This is not necessarily a bad thing, and I might
also point out that this is not the first time that we have found
ourselves
in this position, yet things have always found a way of working
themselves out. When pressed, I have been telling people that our
destination is Brasil, while early on in this junket Karen would
generally refer to this as a Central American trip. As we have
discussed other exigencies with fellow motorcyclists with whom we
have crossed paths, Argentina seems to have risen on the list as a
place well suited to ship the bikes back to the
States.
Whatever it turns out to be, the one thing that becomes abundantly
clear is that, at this point, each passing day finds the task at hand
becoming more a measure of my short term memory than the diary it was
intended to be. I will try, of course, to maintain some kind of
chronology, but I make no promises. I might also point out that this
general lack of direction on my part has left me with this somewhat
uninspired name for this particular portion of our travels. About the
only thing that we are sure of is that we will be covering part of the
same hemisphere as the original Sapoyrana trip back in 2002/2003. We
thought about a number of ways to express this. We remain, as
always, open to suggestion. Hope you enjoy the ride.
It starts around the Copper
Canyon. |
