Ralph and Pat

Folks, meet Ralph and Pat. We were stuck at the third mudslide on our epic "shortcut", when I saw this guy pushing his bike through the mud up the hill, followed by this woman. Ralph and Pat are in the process of cycling from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego. They're from Colorado, so they're used to the hills, but those bike are also carrying about 100 pounds of gear.

You can follow Ralph and Pat's progress at http://ralphandpat.wordpress.com.

Last I checked, they were in Honduras, but I am sure they are in South America by now.

Turkey Transport

Turkeys bound up on their way to market. This was at about kilometer 15 of our 30 kilometer shortcut through the mountains, a stretch of road that took us 5 hours to navigate. We are at the second mudslide here, and were here for about an hour.

Young Vendor

This is at about kilomter 9 of the 30 kilometer "shortcut" through the mountains from San Cristóbal Verapaz to Sacapulas. We were here for almosttwo hours while the crew made the road passable. Some enterprising young vendors appeared and started selling snacks. They became our source of food over the next few hours of this journey.
