Bike from Maya Pedal in Guatemala to El Tunco in El Salvador

Over the last week, we biked from San Andres Itzapa in Guatemala to  El Tunco in El Salvador.  Great riding.  Stayed with a family one night after I got a flat just outside their house.

Met a fellow cycle traveler on the road who had biked from the tip of South America up to El Salvador and was heading to his home country, Mexico.  His blog is: Rodrigo's Adventure

Plan today is to take a surfing lesson.

Finally preparing to move on, cycling South. Lots of great work, experience and friends at Maya Pedal. The road calls us South. Fellow Maya Pedal volunteer and traveling cyclist from Spain, who rode from Alaska to Guatemala, Javier, and I will depart together, in the next week or so!

I am currently working at Maya Pedal in Guatemala.  It has been an extremely rewarding experience.  Eventually, I plan to bike on South, likely with another volunteer from Maya Pedal, Javier from Spain.  He biked from Alaska to here, and plans to continue South, likely to French Guayana, where he wants to learn and practice French.

The Market in San Andrés Itzapa.

Playing some futsal in San Andrés Itzapa.  Futsal is simply soccer on a basketball-sized court.

Cow foot at the meat shop.  Just came in from the campo.

Goats chilling on the side of the road, awaiting their owner.

Cow leads the horse down the road, gets nervous as I approach and begins to pee.

Typical San Andrés Itzapa geared up horse.

Itzapa woman heads home from the market with her tables, chairs and what is left of her produce.  She has a wrap on top of her head cushioning it from the table.  

Her friend prefers a wheelbarrow.
