Old Axle/New Axle: What’s the diff?
We have met people who have been overlanding without GPS and everytime without fail we have a conversation with each other after the event where we call them crazy.
There are also people that we have met that just haven’t got the message th...
Puerto Escondido and Surrounds, Oaxaca
We finally made it out of zipolite (but didn’t go far).
And…it was only 2 weeks later than we thought we’d leave. Jen finally caught the mechanic grabbing his morning beer and made sure he was swinging by in th...
Car Insurance in Canada and USA (3)
The nightmare is finally over.. We found our car insurance for Canada and the USA. I don’t think I have ever been so relieved as when I saw the email coming in that said ” Dear Erica, please find below our quote…” . And it is a good quote too. Adm...
More Other Overlanders
Some more pictures of others overland vehicles:
After driving almost non stop from Mexico City to Oaxaca, we arrived to much of a surprise. The trucks ran absolutely perfect through the mountainous passes. “Unstoppable” many times I though in my head as I even passed cars on the long rolling h...
From the city to the highlands.
After exploring Mexico City for several days it was time to move on to the highlands. “ Oaxaca” was calling our names.

El Calafate and the Glaciers
The nightmare continues.. After all the negative response on our request for insurance when arriving in Canada, we decided to reschedule our vehicle to arrive in the US. That was easily done. Same ship, same company, same cost, just one port furth...

Now for the BEACH! we set out from Antigua in a pleasant 24, but as we drove closer to the coast it was 35 degrees. The ride here is nice and with very few of the dreaded tope. You pay a 5Q toll to cross the bridge over the canal in the mangroves ...
Museus em Washington
Na área do National Mall, em Washington DC, há mais de 10 museus e todos com entrada gratuita. Infelizmente não tivemos tempo para conhecer todos. Visitamos dois museus: o National Museum of Natural History e o National Air and Space Museum.

A história americana contada em memoriais
Essa semana nós vimos pela TV a posse do presidente Barack Obama. De acordo com a Casa Branca, 1 milhão de pessoas compareceram a cerimônia pública que aconteceu no National Mall. Repito, não vou falar de política aqui no blog, mas achei bacana comen...
