Santa Ana, El Salvador

We're taking a rest day in Santa Ana. The idea was to give Greg Powell, a Canadian friend making the same trip a chance to catch up with us.

He stopped over at Lake Atitlan in Guatemala and was beaten and robbed, and on top of it all his bike damaged. The State Department Advisories say Don't go to Lake Atitlan. We followed their advice. Greg is physically OK but the bike needs work and he needs to replace a bunch of his gear.
We're glad there are two of us and even more so that we're out of Guatemala.



Hotel Tolteka in Santa Ana. You know that you're in Central America when there's a guy at the door with a 12 gauge.

Tonight we'll have dinner with Daniel Guzman and his brother, local BMW guys.

For the record, I've covered 7,835 miles from Prudhoe Bay and have 7,152 to go. I've come 52% of the way.
