About to cross...

---

Hey everyone!

Well Justin and I are still running late, and we are just now crossing into Guatemala. We are excited to do so but I am growing increasingly worried about the stability in Nicaragua. Recent reports in the region are not good. But I'm sure everything will be fine.

Correction for last blog: I mistakenly wrote that we stayed the night in Los Mochis, which is where we stayed for night two. If you caught this error, give yourself two points and consider a profession as a newspaper editor, if not, well nobody's perfect. The actual location for night three was Tepic.

Day 5

We crossed through Mexico City today. And it is now one of my proudest accomplishments. A lot of things in this world get hyped up but the difficulty in navigating through Mexico City is definitely not one of them. It is complete madness! We negotiated the labyrinth in about 4.5 hours, and only managed that by sheer luck. They don't make a complete map of the area because it is just too damn big! So we had to use 4 separate ones. 15 mins in we were lost and disoriented. we decided the best course of action was to get on one of the elevated highways and just keep interchanging onto which ever fork had more lanes. somehow we managed to find our way but only after driving on a sidewalk to get to the right road. We could not duplicate it if given 50 more chances.

gotta go, my times up. stay tuned.

Andrew
