So there we were in Hopelchen, Mexico minding our own business.  We’re just riding our motorcycle around the plaza checking things out when Keli spies an ice cream shop.   I whip into the nearest parking spot and we make for dessert, turned out to be the best ice cream we’ve had in Mexico.  We’re enjoying […]

We won’t officially be in the Estado de Yucatan until tomorrow, but we are on the Yucatan Peninsula and in the thick of Mayan country.  This is the first real destination we had besides south and we made it!  We’ve come 4,000 miles by motorcycle and driven just about the entire country of Mexico North […]

Seriously Mexico, potholes 5 or 6 feet long,  8 or 10 inches deep and 3 feet wide on a toll road ? I think you’re missing an ingredient or two in your asphalt.  It looks brand new and has giant craters in it big enough to totally screw up my day.  Did you just pave […]

We wound up here almost by accident, again.  If you recall, in the last installment we visited an enormous waterfall in Salto de Eyipanla.  In an effort to avoid the spendy tourist trap at the waterfall we gambled and left an hour before sunset even though we were 45 minutes from the main road.  We […]

It always starts with obscure sign on the side for road with an unmistakable pictograph.  In this case a waterfall.  The road you turn onto seems nice enough.  Then, of course, you encounter a giant pile of dirt in the center of it blocking your path. We just want to look at the waterfall.  Okay, […]

That’s exactly 3,172 miles from Ace Adventure Resort as I write to you tonight from the state of Veracruz, Mexico, about 100 miles from the gulf coast.  We’ve got scratchy eyes, sunburnt noses and windblown faces, but things have gone relatively as planned.  Before I go into a page long assessment of the trip, we […]

It must have been under 40 degrees all morning climbing and descending in and out of the clouds.  It’s the moisture that does you in, frozen little fingertips and toes.  A little after noon we dropped off of the lush green mountain tops and back into the high desert headed down 85 South towards Mexico […]

Where do you even begin with something like this?  Sometime in 1945 Edward James happened upon the Mexican town of Xilitla in the search for a location to “express his diverse esoteric interests.”  I’m not going to try and give you some kind of fluffy artistic evaluation or insight as to what we saw today; […]

This is just a collection of interesting and narrated shots traveling by motorcycle through northern Mexico.  They are mostly Keli’s “drive by shootings.” We decided to get haircuts in Matehuala.  As a rule of thumb, you and your stylist should speak the same language.  That’s the Spanish / English dictionary in her hand in case […]
