So there I was, sitting in the saddle of El Blanco. El Blanco was a hansom, white, Mexican horse, a horse that any caballero would be proud to ride - That was my first impression of El Blanco.

I am from Georgia, but I have lived in California for the past few years. I have been working as an engineer since I got out of school six years ago. I have grown tired of working the never changing rat race of ‘normal life’, so I am embarking on a multi-year round the world journey, a retirement of sorts, beginning with a winter contract job in Antarctica. From there, who knows where I will go, but I plan on seeing the whole world and all of the unique cultures, remote wildernesses and amazing history that this planet has to offer.

Smart move on the snake, Son.
You should show your picture to one of the locals to see if they can identify the snake. He should have a name. I looked up snakes indigenous to the area but this snake looks small in the picture and the only thing I found that looked similar was a type of Boa.

Great blog. Cool.... you spoke to the Prez. Pancho's house loooks like something YOU could handle living in. The horse sounds like it may have been a little over the top and a little scary but when you look back it will seem a great adventure. Better brush up on your comment allez vous. Stay in touch and SAFE travel.

Great blog. Cool that you spoke to the Prez. Pancho's house looks like a place YOU could reside. Sounds like the horse was over the top and scary but when you look back it will seem like a great adventure. Appears you are having a blast. Stay in touch and be SAFE.
