Posted on May 15, 2011 | 4 CommentsBACK IN: San Salvador, we find an ancient station wagon posing as a taxi; our driver is short and rotund, bald but for a horrible slicked-down combover. He squints and has a gold tooth that he sucks on between sentences. Winking, he reaches in the... -

Posted on May 3, 2011 | 9 CommentsON THE: road out of Semuc Champey, the truck we are in pulls over at the top of a hill. The view from the hill is spectacular – verdant green valleys; a small, moss-encrusted church – but the hill itself is covered with trash, the... -

Posted on April 28, 2011 | 1 CommentGUATEMALA SHINES: an almost luminescent green as we fling ourselves south through the outskirts of Poptun to Finca Ixobel.

Posted on April 23, 2011 | 4 CommentsWE PASSED: a few lifeless days in Mexico in what we called “rest and reCubaration”, racing through the markets of Chetumal to stock up on all the bits and pieces lost or worn into the ground along the way. When we began to feel the...
