We arrived in Tamarindo, Guanacaste, Costa Rica on January 2, 2015. The town was bustling with tourists and vacationers - and quite honestly, was not at all what we had expected. We tried in vain to find a hotel room to stay in after having spent two nights on a windy beach, but there was... Continue Reading →
Nicaragua!
It was a trying day today as we left El Salvador, crossed the Honduras border - drove straight across Honduras and arrived at the Nicaragua border. It took a gruelling 4 hours to cross from El Salvador into Honduras, and then another 2 1/2 hours... Continue Reading →

Count down to the first days of our journey
OH MY - we are really at this point... The last 9 days of our time in Victoria will be busy to be sure - wrapping up my class at the College, finalizing the purge, sending off Christmas cards, and creating post-card mailing lists I've located some pictures on the net that depict what our...
