Ocho Dies?!??!?!?!

The border agent at Nogales thought we were crazy when we said we would make it though the country in eight days. Everyone else thought that too, however we made it in four. Ha! The trip has been interesting. The sketchy mountain roads were interesting. There is no guardrail, no shoulder, cars pass on blind curves and there are grave markers every kilometer and half. We actually passed a roadside store that sold nothing but grave markers. But with all that we only saw one accident. There was a gasoline tanker tipped over. It had clearly just happened so we just drove away as quickly as we could. We met some nice Czech travelers who ran out of gas and we spent the night drinking beer with them. They are on a sponsored trip from the Czech republic through Russia, Asia and now the west coast of the New World. We are hoping to meet back up with them in Panama as we both think that getting out of Colon will take some time. Hope all is well back home. E-mail me addresses (or facebook) if you want a postcard. I did not get many before I left....oops. Bye for now. Bobby.
