Leaving G.C.
We're leaving G.C. today. We went to Antigua yesterday on the Chickenbus. It was packed but the cheapest bus I've ever been on. Partying at night in G.C. with people we don't know in the sketchy zone 1 probably broke every How To Stay Alive As A Gringo rule that ever lived but damn it was fun. Every 20th person in G.C. carries a shotgun. It was shocking at first but after a few days you get used to it. Very strange. They are mostly just hired security guards. It's amazing to see a guy with an uzi guarding you while you eat your $4 breakfast at the local cafe but it's a nice place. We're hoping to get to Costa Rica today. We've picked up a hitchhiker from Austin, Texas named Ryan so now we are four. That means we can drive always. Internet is about to cut out and we have to leave. Bye for now.

Crazy shit! What's G.C.? Been rocking the free world up here, a crazy alpine adventure and a long ass bike trip to Corvallis and back! Glad to hear you're still alive - keep posting!
