I recognize many of those happy faces. I'm glad you were able to connect with friends and have some fun playing in the alleys of Portland.

I have been reading your ride report for some time now and have enjoyed it very much. I will be leaving for Ecuador and freedom bike rentals later today and enjoying some of the same roads you have ridden. Thank you for sharing your journey

I'm in on this trip too!! Luckily for me, I'm coming from Colorado, so I'll be a bit more prepared for the altitude! And we're arriving on Tuesday and start the ride on Thursday, so we'll have a couple days to prep.

Reading reports like your's has got me stoked to get in the road!

You guys will have a great time!! Where you staying in Quito? Casa Helbling is a great spot just 3 blocks from Freedom rentals.

Just a heads up, it is raining like hell here in Quito and the storm is covering much of the mountain region. It is dry until around noon then starts dumping.
Whoops, should have pmd.

A final post of photos from the Galapagos.

It was such a huge wildlife trip.

The trip was fun, and we had great other passengers on the boat with us. So sorry I did not get a group photo.

The Bird Watchers

With my friend Diana having a nice cup of coffee.

And I had to model the shirt that was the big seller in the Galapagos

The Blue footed Boobies that is.....

We had great food

As we left the Odyssey...... Our "host" saying Adios!

We stayed at the Hostel de Nelly in San Cristobal

The weather was hot and really humid. On the ship it was great, on land it was really hot!

We had a taxi, ferry, and bus to get to the airport.

Then we flew back to Quito, and over the Volcano before we landed

The trip to the Galapagos was fantastic and I was so glad that I had the opportunity to go!!

So when I returned home, as you can imagine there was a stack of mail at my house. But one package caught my eye. I did not recognize the sender address, so I opened the package. And much to my surprise and delight was a letter from IceCreamSoldier and his Daughter.

It is really amazing. Vanessa's class whom I had the pleasure of meeting and sharing my ride on my way south through California had a class project to take some of the memorable photos (thanks Pablo for wading through the photos to pick good ones), and turn them into artwork.

That are amazing and wonderful. I cherish them already!!

AceRph and Radioman during my visit at their home.

Lots of them to share.....

Just a few more here.....

The day I bought flowers and attached them to my bike in Honor of my wife Chris who passed away last year

It was during the Day of the Dead celebrations in Mexico.

Sam in Arizona admiring one of the Peytons that Skip had rebuilt.

Trying to make it out of the "Tucson Triangle"

Radioman doing the Ruta Muerte

In Mexico

Day of the dead

Riding down to the beach in Playa del Carmen

Riding with Animals near the road.

Loading bike onto the Stahlratte, in Panama

With James and Sherri Jo in Medellin eating ice cream

With Young James at El Pinol, Columbia

So another great memory on my Journey in meeting and continuing to communicate with the Mrs. S's 4th grade class!!

I have a huge smile on my face as I look at the artwork all around me!

Thanks so much to all the kids that took the time, effort and talent to share these with me!! You guys Rock!!

AceRph · 04-10-2012, 08:08 PM
