I am writing this in July, 2022. I found these posts from my trip to Guatemala in an archive and reposted them here. I traveled 3321 miles on those 9 days, an unforgettable trip. I never wrote a summary of my trip and I won’t now. Suffice it to say, I lived in Guatemala until […]
Well, I made it! I left Comitan, Mexico after breakfast and arrived in Guatemala City about 6pm. I really fell in love with Comita’n. It is a beautiful city. I want to return. At breakfast asked the waiter for some “romantic” hotels and he gave me these names: Asienda Los Angeles and Hotel Lagos de […]
I traveled across the southern part of Mexico from Veracruz to Chiapas, from Catemaco to Comitan. I left Catemaco early, I didn’t even eat breakfast. It was another day of beautiful country and safe travels. I grouped the photos today as: Bridges, Sweet Country, Cool buildings in old towns, Churches and The Vista. The Bridges: […]
Today was a beautiful day along the Gulf Coast. I started with a long walk on the beach (just across the road from Sarita) and ended in a beautiful mountain town called Catemaco. I saw this guy along the road about an hour after I started. A real Tamaulipeco! It wasn’t a long drive but […]
Wow, what a day. I think it was my best day and my worst day so far. Let’s see, I started in Victoria, a beautiful little city at the foot of some mountains. I had breakfast and blogged in the restaurant. This is a picture of the hills outside the restaurant. Then I got on […]
I got to Mexico! There are three bridges to cross into Mexico from Brownsville, Texas. I know them all. I was directed by the fellow at the hotel to go to the Gateway Bridge, when I got there it was closed. The fellow there said to go to the B and M bridge, so I […]
Well I made it to the boarder, through Louisiana and Texas. It was a long drive, but I saw some cool stuff. Like in Louisiana between Lafayette and Lake Charles they have an enormous bridge over the bayou country. Above is a picture. Lake Charles is a cool city. I would like to come back […]
I think I drove under the biggest cloud ever. I calculated it to be 507 miles long. I started in St. Louis and finally saw the sun half way through Mississippi. Here is a shot of the sun in Mississippi. But I am getting ahead of myself. I traveled through Missouri, Arkansaw, Tennesee(just a corner), […]
Today was an easy day for driving. I only had to make it to St. Louis from Fort Madison, Iowa. It was cloudy and then rainy but the driving was easy. There is still a lot of snow in St. Louis and it was cold damp and about 35 degrees. Missouri had a lot of […]
I am going to see Karen, mi amor! I have a part time job teaching music at a school in Panajachel (on Lake Atitlan). I am very excited about the trip! Biscuit, my cockatiel is traveling as far as St. Louis with me and will be staying there with my friend Fred for a while. […]
