Fortunately, St. Christoper, in the guise of a great guy named Michael, escorted me to the main highway which left me with a straight shot to Granada. Whew.
As you know, my camera died. You want to know something else they don't have in Granada? You are correct. No cameras. I did manage to find a Kodak shop with some throw away type deals so have a few pics to share. (I will also be posting some videos of the last bells of 2008 whilst in Leon for New Years eve, soon).
The bike to the right of the HOG in this photo is about as big as they get down here... Maybe it's the water?! : )
I am not concerned about out-running anybody if necessary.
There were alot of these running around in Leon. The kid would do an intense drum role, then start hollering some things out to this doll type thing. The doll would then follow up with a little jig, and this would go on for about five or ten minutes. Anybody know the story behind this? There has got to be one. They were quite a few of them around.
I had a view of the rooftops from the shower...
Here is a few shots of Granada but first some shots of stone carvings from 500AD
This shot had me hankering for a sweet Mint Julep...
Crossing the second to last border, from Nicaragua into Costa Rica tomorrow morning, thanks to Robin. She took the time to DHL express me my original Title to my moto. Nicaragua wasn't letting me leave without it. Big Thank You Robin! Whoo-hoo!! YOU ROCK!
One more border to cross from Costa Rica into Panama and thats it. If it wasn't for the border crossings, this trip would have been pure joy. The border crossings are notoriously horrible. I mean just awful. You will spend a minimum of four hours with all kinds of folks trying to put the hustle on you. It's like a Hustlers Carnival. Every type you can imagine; no, go ahead now, really use your imagination.
talk to you later.
PEACE.
hey bro,
ReplyDeleteBoarder patrol, thought they may have a new harley to add to their fleet, lol. Glad to know Robin was able to get the original title to you. This may have set you back a couple days of travel. Glad to know all worked out for you. Nice pictures. Have a great day . Take care brother.
Yes they did. Bastions...
ReplyDeleteRobin is, and always has been, a bright and shining Star. Evidently, way too brilliant for me... : (
Brother, I need your help. I am in some serious trouble down here in Costa Rica... and not sure if I can get out of it or not. The trouble is; Costa Rica is a drug. It's intoxicating. I can feel it running through my veins as I write this note, and the addiction has already set in and to make things worse, I want to stay addicted!
I now understand the saying down here; "Pure Vida". It's the Garden of Eden, the Enchanted Forest, the End of the Rainbow, Heaven..., etc.
will write more later, I gotta go get some more.
Thanks for staying in touch brother, it's great to hear form you!
I don't know bro, but that guy hanging is white, with a duke univerity shirt on. lol.
ReplyDeleteYes i hear ya, you are in heaven. That is a beautiful place bro. Maybe you need to hang out there for awhile, and take your boots off. Glad things seem to be going well . Wish i was with ya. Take care bro
