Farther away

So we finally got to the good stuff, waterfalls and way cool ruins. The ruins in Palanque are awesome.

We also went to church in Palanque then drove to some waterfalls

Then drove a little further and stopped at some more way cool waterfalls Agua Azul. It is like havasupi but better; however, there was a ton of people. They were particular about not swimming too close to the falls, which bugged.

We then drove to Saint Cristobal and stayed the night. Way cool old Mexico.

We then drove to Guatemala, there are a ton of Indians (natives) way poor. we went through most of the back roads in Guatemala.

We went to lake Attatitlan which was way cool, it is said to be the waters of Moman. Most all the roads had big mud slides due to the hurricane that we just missed. but it did down-poor the night we stayed at Attatitlan. The little town we stayed in had no water because of the mud slides so we took a shower in the street in the rain. Everyone that saw, thought we were crazy. . .

We then drove around in the small towns around the lake and got a cheap ride on a boat across so we loaded our bikes.

All the streets are way narrow. We got lost quite a few times and it took quite some effort to get our bikes turned around after discovering the street got too narrow.

Some of the roads were closed but not for our bikes we passed about two miles worth of cars stopped dead, only to make it past a bad muddy spots, (the bike is growing on me).

We made our way toward some waterfalls on the other side of Guatemala, the road turned into an all day dirt road. At one point the road just ended with a sign saying no paso. The whole mountain looked to have been in a large landslide some time ago. Trying to figure out what we were going to do, some boy ran up and wanted money to tell us how we could get passed. we paid him and there was a detour road. after driving all day we got to a small town and saw the elders, we drove on until late and needed to pass out somewhere and saw a church on the side of the road so we thought we would stay there. but the church was locked up like a jail, so we set up camp right next door.

We were about to jump into our bags when the elders walked by. they lived in the church so we talked to them and ended up sleeping on the lawn. The elders were Kachi elder I guess the native language. . .

The next day we finally made it to the waterfalls it was crazy pretty.

We then drove all day on some more dirt roads and stopped and stayed the night not far from the boarder.

We are now in Hondures Puetro Cortes. It is way way hot, last night we stayed at a place for $5 and didn´t sleep at all it was soo hot. the place we got now has AC. . .

So far Matt has hit two birds and one dog. . . I have not been so lucky yet (mostly beacuse he has been riding front most the way).

Finally had to shave the beard too hot and started collecting dusts.
