Was just watching a show today on Viet Nam that showed the how adding two lengths of bamboo to a bike allowed them to walk 4-500 lbs of equipment along the Ho Chi Min Trail, and a Google search revealed that 2-week cycling tours of the Trail are now being offered as a vacation package. Bike travel is something we should be a little more in tune with, and your journey is certainly setting a great example of that.

He's on the wrong side of the road by convention, but going in the right direction , and that's what counts! Take care.

You are very funny. The picture of the insect repellent clothing and bug helmet was really something. Um...did you know that bed bugs leave the telltale sign of blood specks on the sheets? Pleasant dreams! Hey Doug, This was a great post, as usual. You are very funny. The picture of the insect repellent clothing and bug helmet was really something.

I live here in Rio Branco. Call me if you need something. It will be a pleasure to help. My name is Flavio, drama professor at the local university, and I also run a non-profit organization here in Rio Branco. I took the road to Peru few months ago, so maybe I can help. All the best to you! Flavio 3222 6844 Hey! I live here in Rio Branco. Call me if you need something. It will be a pleasure to help.

The soccer jersey that Alexandro had on belong to my favorite Brazilian soccer team PALMEIRAS which means PALM.

I'm also glad you got some rest and some solid road. I'm sure you were meant to run into that guy as some source of inspiration, he sounds awesome, haha. Sounds like your spirits are high, keep up the good work! Hey Patron, if Alexandro doesn’t need a map im sure you’ll be fine… I’m also glad you got some rest and some solid road.
