South America by Motorbike. A journal of Sheila and Glenn's motorcycle trip to South America (and back.). Sunday, October 30, 2005. I woke up this morning, and my mouth tasted like the Lynnwood Inn. Yet another October going away party.this time it’s South America. Last year was India, and before that, Egypt and Indonesia. But this time it’s serious: a whole year with my fiancé Sheila riding our motorbikes to South America and back. Posted by Crash at 11:21 PM. North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

South America by Motorbike. A journal of Sheila and Glenn's motorcycle trip to South America (and back.). Sunday, May 14, 2006. A Roll in the Mud (Chile South, March 18 March 29). I started the first day in Chile the same as I ended the last day in Argentina: by getting knocked over by the wind. That s what happens when you sit on your bike facing perpendicular to it. Around the elevated wooden walkways that makes the hillside village of Tortel so unique. Being an Industrial Education teacher and a h...

South America by Motorbike. A journal of Sheila and Glenn's motorcycle trip to South America (and back.). Monday, December 26, 2005. Short and Sweet (El Salvador, Dec 13). Another beaurocratic border crossing led us into El Salvador, a country I had wanted to visit ten years ago when I was here in. Central America, but had traded it in for some fun in the sun over in Belize. The border crossing was virtually free, but still took two hours to visit the seven different stops and offices. The towns were rea...

South America by Motorbike. A journal of Sheila and Glenn's motorcycle trip to South America (and back.). Sunday, August 27, 2006. Tanks for the Memories (Colombia, July 4 Aug 23). With borders done for a while, we cruised the Colombian Andes and its fun switchbacks for a couple days. At a mirador (viewpoint), we met a nice Colombian couple on a 180 cc bike and rode with them for a day. Saying goodye, we ventured off the highway to check out the quaint town of Villa de Leiva. Friday, July 7:. Fearing a b...

South America by Motorbike. A journal of Sheila and Glenn's motorcycle trip to South America (and back.). Sunday, January 29, 2006. Beautiful, but not so British, Columbia (Dec 27 Jan 7). The short flight into Bogota was a cool change, and offered the best food we had eaten in weeks. The airport border entry was a simple line-up, passport stamp, no money paid, and no discussion of motorcycleshey, they didn t need to know (let s keep that all separate, shall we? Well, it was New Year s Eve and we were in ...

South America by Motorbike. A journal of Sheila and Glenn's motorcycle trip to South America (and back.). Wednesday, March 15, 2006. A Day in the Life (Jan 23, 2006). Since we spend so much time on the motorbikes, I wanted to capture a day in the life before I forget what a typical day on this trip has been like. This one happened to be Jan 23, 2006.

South America by Motorbike. A journal of Sheila and Glenn's motorcycle trip to South America (and back.). Wednesday, June 21, 2006. The Fugitive (Uruguay, April 10 - 12). That night, Chris headed back to BA, while the three of us hopped a bus the next day to Montevideo, the economic, political and cultural centre of Uruguay. Montevideo has great architecture and steaks that are equally as impressive as Argentina`s. T. To Buenos Aires is worth telling. Big deal , I said to Sheila. Who cares if you don...

South America by Motorbike. A journal of Sheila and Glenn's motorcycle trip to South America (and back.). Friday, November 25, 2005. Balmy Baja, Mexico (Nov 11 Nov 19). Before going there, the only thing I knew about the Baja was the famous Baja 1000 race and that so many amateur bikers come here solely for the off-road riding. Well, we were lucky enough to get a bit of each in the first few days. The most memorable road to date, this isolated dirt stretch ran along the ocean cliffs and offered. Million-...

South America by Motorbike. A journal of Sheila and Glenn's motorcycle trip to South America (and back.). Wednesday, April 26, 2006. Wild Camping in Northern Chile (Feb 8 13). We awoke to sunshine and a great view of the two nearby snow-capped volcanoes. It was a new day, a new country.and we weren t really sure if the idiot drunk next door was still alive. Hopefully not. The sound of nearby drag racing and the ensuing police and ambulence sirens. But hey, at least it was good for the budget. Orphanage i...
