Well we went on the Gondala ride up to the top of Whistler Mountain and the view from up there was just beautiful!! can't wait to get the next CD burnt so that I can put the photos up for you all to see - there was snow everywhere up there so for the second time in my life I got to touch it and was pretty excited!! It was a bit chilly up there but not as cold as I thought it would be. We went for a bit of a walk and took a few pictures, made some snowballs and headed back down so that we could leave for Jasper. On the way we passed through some 'Indian' reservations, and our tour manager told us that they are not referred to as 'Indians' anymore, ... read more

Huatulco, Oaxaca, Mexico 23:30 Today around 11 pm, I arrived to the internet café "Conecta Te", hoping that I will find an owner, Nahum and we will finish the webpage. He was not there. I went on the street to search for a place to sleep. After a few minutes, I met a met in his mid-fifties that filled the tank with gas. I asked him if he can host me and he accepted it. Within the few minutes, we started talking about the death of Christ and the authentity of the Bible. "And which religion do you belong?" I asked him. "We are christians - followers of Christ."

Well, we are here in Topeka, Kansas, 725 miles from home. It's been a long exhausting day of nothing but driving and many pit stops. We left Francis Ferry Road at about 6:30 this morning, and drove until about 10:00. The only thing of any real interest we did today was drive through St. Louis and go past the Arch. We'll probably go up in it on the loop back home, so hopefully there will be pictures later from that. Well, like I said, nothing really but driving today, so nothing interesting to talk about. We'll make it to Colorado Springs tomorrow afternoon, and hopefully get to go up Pike's Peak, so tomorrow night's post will be much more interesting than this. Bye for now!! ... read more

When we last wrote, we were ahead of schedule and had only 600 miles to ride to the Virginia coastline. After the Appalachians were going to be home free. We had only one more state ahead of us and a reasonable riding schedule planned…Suddenly the Atlantic felt just too close for comfort- the reality of finishing the trip and acting like adults loomed. So, we balked. Instead, we blazed a quick trail south following the tracks of Daniel Boone through the Cumberland Gap and crossing Tennessee in one day. The Great Smoky Mountains After a 100-mile day of riding, we arrived in Gatlinburg, TN at 10pm on a Tuesday night, expecting a sleepy-town nestled at the foot of the mountains where we could lay our bikes and our heads. Instead, what we got was a theme ... read more
