Year: 2005

  • Eco-Escuela

    The school is great. I know a lot more Spanish than I thought I did, but I still don’t understand anybody but my teacher. I’ve been reading the children’s book “The Little Prince” in Spanish. I made it through about five paragraphs in about three hours last night (with a dictionary), but I remember most […]

  • Flores, Guatemala

    I made it to Flores alright. The plane was a Cessna Caravan from Belize to here. I’m headed to the Spanish school early tomorrow so there won’t be any new posts for a few days. I will take some pictures.

  • Headed to Guatemala

    Merry Christmas everybody. I’m headed out tomorrow to San Andrés, Guatemala. It’s near Flores on Lake Petén Itzá. It’s also close to Tikal which is one of the largest Mayan sites. I’ll be studying Spanish for a few hours each day at a school called Eco-Escuela where I’ll be staying with a local family. I […]

  • Belice y Guatemala

    Things are going ahead for my trip to Belize and Guatemala. I’ll be heading out on Christmas and getting back on the 10th of January. Hopefully I’ll get some photos up during the trip so check in during that time. I’m not sure how often I’ll have Internet access, but I expect to have it […]

  • Cass Railroad

    Here’s a quick note to let you know that I made it home alright. The last three days were a lot of fun. I’ll post more and add some photos after I’ve gotten some sleep. I met my father and brother Ryan in Cass, West Virginia. Dad is a bit of a train nut, and […]

  • Willville

    The last message took a day to post. The email must have been sent via Pony Express. Last night I stayed at a motorcycle camp run by a guy named Will. It sounds like he’s done a lot of motorcycle touring and decided to build the place he was always looking to stay at. A […]

  • Wheels Through Time

    Here are some photos from the Wheels Through Time Museum in Maggie Valley, NC.

  • Horizons Unlimited in NC

    This morning I’m heading to the Horizons Unlimited meeting near Ashville North Carolina. After a pit stop at the bike shop I should be on my way. I’ll head out to Harper’s Ferry and then down to Shenandoah National Park, where I’ll take Skyline Drive and then the full length of the Blue Ridge Parkway. […]

  • Motorcycle Travel Club

    I found a group of motorcycle travellers called Horizons Unlimited. They’re meeting in North Carolina in the middle of June. It looks like fun. I’ll probably take two days to ride down there from Baltimore. The KLR 650 does well on the highway, but I don’t want to do 600 miles in one day.

  • Updated Southeast Asia Posts

    I’ve finished fixing up the old posts I had from the trip. There are better versions of the photos and a few new photos. I’ve also added an entry from the 23rd of December that was in a notebook I had on the trip.

  • Anyone for Tennis?

  • Home

    I made it home. I managed to get about 3 hours of sleep in the last 48, so I’m well rested. The trip was good. I’ll probably post some follow-up entries in the next week or so, as well as some photos. The mini-bus trip to the Cambodian border with Thailand was interesting and I […]
