2009-10 Trip Recap

Calexico, California to Lago de Atitlan, Guatemala 

My friend Eric and I set out on bicycles from Calexico, CA in the hopes of reaching Tierra del Fuego - the southern tip of Chile.  For six months between 2009-2010 we cycled across Mexico and Belize before finally ending our trip at Lago de Atitlan, Guatemala.    Eric did an amazing job documenting our trip - he's an incredible photographer and writer.  You can view Eric's Blog for a full recap of our adventures or visit our route with google maps.  I would like to include a few pictures from the previous bicycle tour:

Beach in La Paz - last day in Baja. 


This pine tree in really covered in Monarchs.   They come here by the billions to mate.   The males will then die and the females will fly back north to the Great Lakes region.   The journey takes seven life cycles.



The crazy steep and narrow streets of Taxco - famous for its silver mines.


Lost in the highlands of Oaxaca.
