lostCANADIAN in Mexico

The clock ticking, we raced for the border and the deceptive safety of American soil. By far we have spent many nights in some of the most dangerous places this continent, if not the world, has to offer. We have broken every rule of what not to do in Mexico. We have ridden at night, we have walked Mexico City by night, even rode some of its most dangerous roads. We went to the most warned about cities in Mexico, from Mexico city itself, to Acapulco, to Laredo and so on... We have hung out with banditos, we have slept in a tent on the porch of marijuana farmers. The only loss I have had is my sunglasses while I was trapped under my bike during my first accident. Unharmed, aside from the accidents, we are more afraid of the United States.

Just for the hell of it, we pass through the most dangerous border city, Ciudad Juarez, by night as well, after spending the entire day riding through some of the most bleak and barren desserts we have seen. At least we are on pavement and making good time.

Passing through El Paso, freezing cold, we long for the heated vests we have left behind in Houston at Dru's. Without concern, we cough up the sixty american dollars for a hotel room to finally lay in huge beds and drink the tap water without worries!

I will miss Mexico greatly and long for the day I can return. With still much to see, I can look forward to some more great adventures in the future!
